omg, not ads! anything but that!
Well, seeing how ads basically buy elections, it's actually a big deal.
The problem here is that the Russians can't hope to outspend the Koch Brothers and others out there who will basically be telling America what to think, and there are enough lemmings who will be hypnotized into jumping off the cliff the money tells them to jump off.
Then why didn't Hillary win? She spent far more than Trump did. Funny how all that Clinton money being spent isn't magically hypnotizing people into jumping off a cliff, but Republican money somehow does.
So which is it? Are Republicans able to hypnotize people through ads and Dems aren't (even though Dems tell everyone what they want to hear, "more free stuff for you")? Or are you just full of it?
Because it's not a simple case of money automatically buys you support.
Also Trump managed to harness part of the media to work for him.
The problem here seems to be you want a simple answer. But you won't get simple, but life isn't simple.
