Correlation is not causation though. Better and more popular candidates are naturally going to attract more donations. Especially the corrupt donations from the rich who don’t care who wins and just want to curry favor with whoever will be in power.

I’m not saying it has no effect but it’s hard to tease apart exactly how much.

Very simple and eloquently put, thanks for providing more nuance.
