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.
