Did George Soros contol the election?

$1.92 billion for the GOP compared to the Democrats’ $1.76 billion

So the GOP spent about 160M more, when you look at the whole picture that's peanuts.

Big money interests have taken over this country and owns BOTH the GOP and Democrats.

You must be unaware as to how populist movements work... there is nothing unconstitutional about people pooling money to promote their speech and agenda. If you really want campaign reform... make it illegal for govt/politicians to collude.

A few public hangings on "capital" hill would go a long way.
