I personally think that that way too much money goes into campaigning. I find it weird that a candidate can raise enormous sums of money to win an election, but once elected the president cannot pay off other things like the national debt..? But, I also do believe that if a candidate raises the money legally, then it is theirs to have. Why would a candidate not accept money that could help further their impact in the race? The amount of money that goes into campaigning really depends on the people because the majority of it all is donations. If somebody wants to give their money to a cause that he or she supports, he or she should be allowed to do so.
