461....

.
You can write this election cycle off.

But in terms of the future.

Once a multi-billion dollar dude gets in there....

It changes all the rules.
You will never have a "populist" candidate run again.
Ron Paul.. Bernie Sanders.. whoever...

The bar will have been raised soooo high in terms of money..
Why waste your time.
It's gonna attract the people worth over 500 million.
Fundraising is a thing of the past.
No more money bombs or 5 dollar checks sent in.

You come to the table with the money already in hand or you don't come at all.
