The Clintons have money too so I don't see a point here. Even before Trump we knew presidents need to have money to advertise and stuff; which is why Gary Johnson had no chance.
No, just the opposite. Jeb Bush was the top fundraiser on the Republican side, and Clinton outspent him in the general. 2016 was a huge blow against the argument that money is the primary determinant in national elections.

Money has nothing to do with it.
What it is, is modern society... this guy, a satirist, has summed it up perfectly as to why Trump won, and why the UK voted to leave the EU.
CONTAINS A LOT OF SWEARING

Trump paid 63% less per electoral vote than Clinton. This is the first time in awhile that the candidate who spent the most money did not win.
