    its about money not votes. Usually whoever gets the most money wins.

      Given the decline in traditional media, is this still true?

        Money mostly wins, but not always. Democrats desperately want it to be true always, but they’ve spent a ton of money on losing elections. Trump’s victory was the big one. It’s hard to have a popular campaign message and solid ground game campaigning and make tons of appearances, spending absurd amounts of money makes it easier.

        interesting question. Maybe I am unknowingly spouting propoganda. Looked it up. Its true over 80% of the time, but I thought that number would be higher. Theres a chart midway down the page if you want a TLDR

          I can see money having greater influence at lower levels of government. I’m thinking more about advertising and the presidential race. I bet the returns are diminishing. Also Trump seems to generate a huge amount of publicity (good and bad) without spending much money.
