Anyone with enough money has been playing the game for roughly 250 years. Term limits isn't a fix by itself, and with other countries purchasing presidents, maybe not the first reform, but it's on the list, no?

Sure they have, I said as much in my post. But it's a lot less effective if the guy you gave a massive donation to can now raise money on his own name and get himself re-elected. He's free to tell you no, no matter how much money you gave his campaign.

That entire calculus changes with term limits.
