It will be interesting to see how little money matters - if Biden is successful. Granted - I made another donation to him yesterday -
But if his message and platform take the nomination - we may be finding out how a strong message, a strong candidate, with a proven record of governance outweighs all the money in the world.

Money is great for publicity, but you still have to get people to vote for you.

Yes, public funding would be great and drastically shorten the length of the campaigns. It shouldn't take two years to figure out who our nominee should be. Or worse. Sanders has basically been running for 2020 since 2016 ended.
