    Is this a subtle admission that they cheated? Or is he just implying that he injected so much cash into the campaign that he changed the campaign calculus. I fail to understand how money won the election. Supposedly the dems had over a billion dollars during the campaign, and they lost. So, then whats he trying to say? Money has decreasing returns after a certain level.

      Lots of commentary/analysis on the Repubs winning dispite outfunded 1:2. General consensus is that Dems really mismanaged their money on ad campaigns that did nothing whereas Trump was able to secure discussion for free (no surprise) and used media allies for hypertargeting

      At the very least, he was affecting the election through Twitter algorithms. In that sense, he spent billions getting him elected
