Money will find a way in. There's no way in a society with the "rule of law" rather than the "rule of man" to write laws which will never be abused. The best we can do is to use shame and outrage against the most egregious abuses. I agree that we should continue to tighten the noose, but these "oh no we're certainly not affiliated with any campaign, that would be wrong!" groups will continue.
I think that the top 6 candidates from the primaries would make a reasonable place to cut it off. I can meaningfully understand a choice among six. I completely agree with requiring more than two. Two candidates equals a zero sum game. I think that primaries should be by approval voting. It best matches the goal: "Who should be allowed to continue to play."
