It's not nothing, but it's interesting to note that the amount they spent is dwarfed by the amounts currently being spent by top democrats (and Trump's re-election campaign), several of which are in the low millions of dollars.

I think everyone would like to know how much actual influence it had in the election but I'm not sure we will ever know definitively.
