For anyone who needs to do actual grassroots fundraising, yea not a chance in hell with all the competition already out there.
But if you can just walk into the middle of the race and drop your enormous money-wang to get massive amounts of attention very quickly, no not at all. None of the primaries have happened yet, so there's every chance he could do well enough to win some delegates.
