Does money buy elections? We have the answer.

California Primary: Antonio Villaraigosa Spent $35 Million to Come in Third

Trump was out spent by Hillary and the Dems by a near 2 to 1 margin.  

It happens more often than you think.  Money is no guarantee that you will win.  Polls can't predict,  either,  because Democrat-conducted polls over weigh their polls by as much as 28% (Democrats surveyed more than Republicans).  That means for every 100 people surveyed,  64 are Democrats versus 36 Republicans.  Now,  not all polls have a 28% over-weight circumstance but nearly all are over-weighted.  More than this,  keep in mind the fact that Middle Blue Collar America is seldom fairly represented in the political polls.  That is why - IMO - Hillary and the Dems were so taken by surprise.  Seldom polled,  Middle America turned out for the 2016 elections and they will do it again,  in larger numbers than before.  The mid-term will be a close call,  the 2020 elections will be another landslide for the GOP.  

Now you know (my opinion).
