I don't think boiling any single political event down to money is going to be meaningful.

I can't imagine anyone denying that lobbyists exist and that large amounts of money can buy you a lot of political power.

That is not true. Hillary spent the most money in any American campaign (nearly $1 Billion) and still lost. Strategy matters more than money
