To an extent, isn't money (given by big donors) not an issue with Trump and Carson. Trump's only spent 2 million of his own money and Carson is funded by $50 donations (from average Americans). The repub base is fed up with the establishment - outsiders are getting over 50% of the polls.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but Carson isn't running for President. He's using the donated money mostly on fundraising rather than build a campaign infrastructure. One of his fundraisers is an exec from a direct mail company which is siphoning off the money to send mail to gullible people. He's also squeezing in time for a book tour in the middle of a campaign. A similar scam is being perpetrated by a number of PACs in the conservative entertainment complex. They raise money apparently for conservative causes and spend most of it on salaries or paying a few companies that they have interests in.

Carson, Huckabee, Santorum, Jindal etc are using this campaign to raise cash, get some publicity and land some paid speaking assignments, book deals or TV shows. I'm not sure about Trump yet, he may have got into this as a joke but appears to be a bit more serious now.

"Money in politics can be absolutely curtailed."

corporation are people and money is speech, says the extreme rightwingnut VRWC SCOTUS assholes.

so money ABSOLUTELY CAN'T BE CURTAILED

the VRWC has made curtailing money a violaton of the First Amendment.

So if most of the money is going into fundraising, how does that benefit Carson. This is not the first book he's written and he's done lots of speaking appearances before this. Why go through this hassle at this time in his life? That's one of the things his wife mentioned - that at this stage of their lives (after 30 years of him being on call, etc.), she was looking forward to a quiet, retired life with him but that he feels called to try to do something when he sees the direction of the country (because of their grandchildren). I could see Trump doing it for his ego, but not for Carson.
