Exactly right. I still can’t believe that George W. Bush was permitted to run for the Republican party. The man’s mind is like Newton’s Cradle with the five brain cells clacking together, it was brutal to watch.

Honestly, the bar is so low to be President that there is only one requirement: Money. Lots of it. And to tell the truth, it’s been like that for generations. Whomever spends the most, wins. Welcome to Capitalism, kids!

Money is most important when voters dislike both candidates.
It doesn’t not take a billion dollars to run a presidential campaign, I’d argue 90% of that is a complete waste.
It’s very cheap to run a winning campaign for a charismatic candidate with popular policy positions.
It is very very expensive to get Dem voters to vote for some one significantly more conservative than they are.
