Question..?

Why do presidential candidates need financial donations in the first place? Why does it seem like the candidate that ~~grifts~~ gets the most money is more likely to win?

Where's the money go?

It is because in 2010 an unelected group of theocratic fascists decided it was legal to spend unlimited amounts of money on propaganda. My understanding is all the money goes to advertising in various forms.
