I hear'ya, and I understand how MONEY has been the ticket for many candidates, but,... Trump spent less money than Hitlery and look how it turned out for him.
With the money and TV prime time bought by the Demonscats, spent on IMPEACHMENT, it's no wonder why they are in panic mode as IMPEACHMENT is slowly slipping from their grasp!
In "normal times", money would talk and no candidate would walk,... but, Pres Donald J. Trump has changed the game, it will never be the same again!!!
imo
P.S.,... edit,...

"Trump also put to use his own cash, as well as the assets and infrastructure of his businesses, in unprecedented fashion. He donated $66 million of his own money, flew across the country in his private jet, and used his resorts to stage campaign events. At the same time, the billionaire was able to draw about $280 million from small donors giving $200 or less. Super-PACs, which can take contributions unlimited in size, were similarly skewed toward his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Ultimately, Trump won the presidency despite having raised less than any major party presidential nominee since John McCain in 2008, the last to accept federal funds to pay for his general election contest.
Clinton and her super-PACs raised a total of $1.2 billion, less than President Barack Obama raised in 2012. Her sophisticated fundraising operation included a small army of wealthy donors who wrote seven-figure checks, hundreds of bundlers who raised $100,000 or more from their own networks, and a small-dollar donor operation modeled on the one used by Obama in 2012. She spent heavily on television advertising and her get-out-the-vote operation, but in the end, her fundraising edge wasn't enough to overcome Trump's ability to dominate headlines and the airwaves."
