Here is why I say he didn't try.
If you are going to have a legit chance at winning the presidency you have to raise a lot of money. He refuses to take any kind of big corporate money and do any insider style fundraising. While that might be noble, it doesn't get you anywhere near where you need to be.
If you really want to change things you need to win the office first so he would need to take the money. Let the insiders do what they do and get him the cash so he can compete. If he gets the nomination then money plays some role in it, but his message and his ability to connect with people is just as important. If he can win the white house he is free to do whatever he wants. If his message resonates the people will elect him again. If not, he will be a one term guy.
His refusal to do the things that it takes to seriously compete at that level show me that he was never really serious about winning. But when you look at is campaigns he had no shortage of books and products to sell right after his campaign ended.
