The lack of special interest money doesn't make a candidate magical
No, the presence of it does, and not in a good way. Obamacare is a perfect example: "affordable care for everyone" and "a medical insurance industry that collects $100bn in annual profits" are mutually exclusive concepts. Obama took $20m from that industry in 2008, according to the first Google result. When it came time to dismantle it for the common good, he balked.

A year ago, you could've asked 100 people why America's leadership is so out of step with what the people want or need, and most would have said "money in politics." Now half of them would say "Donald Trump."

He's certainly more self funded than any other candidate but there's still a chance he recoups the money
"He's in the pocket of the powerful MAGA-hat-owner lobby!" The entire point of being self-financed is that he's not beholden to anyone except the voters.

that doesn't make me like him more or think he's suddenly not full of shit.
Unlike, say, Hillary, we can be pretty confident he's not in it for the money or to stay out of prison.
