This bit from the Daily Show with Trevor Noah (beginning of the clip to 1:47) exposed how Democrats lamentations of campaign finance are perhaps more than a bit ironic. In this case, Hillary's campaign effectively used George Clooney to generate a massive amount of campaign contributions. His awareness of how he was being used, and his motivation for doing so, add to the comedy. The last few seconds of the clip raises questions about what Ted Cruz's purpose is in alienating New York voters.
