One of the most undercommented on features of the 2016 election was the fact that Hillary Clinton outspent President Trump 2-to-1. She lost a squeaker.
In 2020, little changed. Joe Biden outspent Trump by nearly 2-to-1. Although he won, his margin of victory in the states that he needed for the required electoral votes was smaller. For all of his financial dominance, the favored candidate won by the skin of his teeth.
Earlier this year, Tom Steyer spent hundreds of millions of dollars to go nowhere in the Democratic presidential primary. Michael Bloomberg put an exclamation mark on that folly with his futile presidential candidacy. It turns out that you can spend

It's even worse for Biden considering he didn't win.

*2020 was a reminder that money can't buy elections*
Sure it can. All you have to do is to pay the right computer programmers enough to get them to give up their Deep State Globalist allegiance for a few days.

Of course it can - Soros bought all of the state secretaries he needed to insure that the voter fraud would go his way.

It looks like that is still up in the air right now.

This is going to be a rough ride. I never thought I would see the day where the entire media would be corrupted. There are powerful evil forces at work but I believe they overplayed there hand and have exposed themselves. Everyone who says there is no voter fraud is a traitor.
And the FBI is not investigating. Don't these agents take an oath? They are a bunch of pathetic quislings who are putting their pensions ahead of the country, a bunch of weak cowardly men who cave to the corrupt management. Not one agent has come forward amidst all the corruption, going back to the Weiner laptop. Not one!
Of course it's perilous to do that, but it's called courage to do what's right in the face of adversity, like the men who stormed the beaches at Normandy. The modern day FBI pales in comparison to the patriots who died and suffered to make America free.

In western Colorado's US House district, republican candidate, Lauren Boebert, won her race handily against dim lefty Diane Bush. Boebert was significantly outspent by Bush. Bush thought she could bludgeon us with mean and dishonest tv ads and dishonest billboard posting, and hide in her basement. But, she was wrong.

Sorry to be a party pooper but at the moment, Biden seems to have spent his money on the right software and 'staff'. And I'm not holding my breath waiting for lawyers and judges to right the wrong.

"It {money} cannot make attractive policies out of the ones that voters reject." I am sure there are many like me, I don't pay attention to political ads. My theory is why would I support anyone who runs on the Dim platform that stands for abortion on demand, open borders, "free" healthcare, citizenship for everyone, guaranteed income for everyone, "free" college education, riots and looting, and on and on?

So my friends ... how do WE fix this in the future...first WE must have every citizen register with proof of residency and birth certificate... next WE must have voter ID requirement... then WE must insist on paper ballots ... no computers...it's an uphill struggle... but WE can do it if WE push hard enough...don't give up... follow President Trump's lead... "oh yeah ... who said so"...vote in person with absentee voter exception... but No computers and no mail in ballots....WE learned our lesson...

So all that money spent to fix the Presidential election was wasted? I don't think PDT would agree. And that is the only election that really mattered to the UNIPARTY.

Money can only buy Democrats. How many do you need? Where can I ship them? (You'll have to clean them yourself.)

You can only say that money can’t buy elections if we get to overturn all these election frauds. If not, money will buy elections.
