I am only allowed to give 2700 to a candidate in the primary season, and then 2700 in the general, right?

How can people give vast sums of money?
Is that because they are giving to a superPAC, and then the superPAC just hands the money to the candidate that they are supporting?

Thanks Segami, always good info from you!!
