The campaign money (on both sides) is largely due to the Republican Supreme Court ruling that corporations, unions, etc... are equivilent to citizens.

The main problem with that is that these organizations never die, have massive resources and can easily dominate our political process.

The good thing in the U.S. is that people are not able to buy a position of power.

The bad thing is that campaigns and elections are primarily influenced by money.

We are headed down a path of plutocracy.

The Supreme Court ruled that unlimited anonymous donations are legal.

That is a giant leap toward plutocracy.
