> The winning candidate spent significantly less money in this instance.
Possibly, or political systems are ripe for misdirecting where funds originate now.
> Unions and Corporations should be allowed to express their views on a candidate.
Totally agree, the problem becomes when those are shell corporations or money funneled via foreign entities.
I am sure any sovereign nation would not want the majority of the money influencing their own people's choices from external sources to the country.
It just wouldn't be best for quality of life and making sure what is done is right for the country if the actual citizens have less say in the direction of it. So much money is in now that targeting and manipulation of votes from foreign wealth is the absolute norm, that is poisoning democracy and freedom, the very thing we want to protect and are sworn to uphold.
