Donald Trump's campaign spent about $94 million in its final push for the White House, according to new fundraising reports filed Thursday.

The Republican continued his campaign-long trend of spending far less than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Her campaign blew through almost $132 million in its closing weeks, according to reports filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission. The latest reports cover Oct. 20 through Nov. 28.

Over the course of the primary and general elections, the Trump campaign raised about $340 million. That included $66 million that the billionaire businessman contributed from his own pocket.

I live in Central NY State. I don’t remember seeing any Trump campaign ads...they were all for Hillary. She won Onondaga County, but my county, Oneida always goes Republican for Presidential elections.

You’re right. Television advertising time is not sold at a discount during a general election campaign cycle. That is except for maybe California and New York where the outcomes are pre-determined.

Hillary spent $581 million?? They expected not only for her to win but to win so strongly that her coattails would pick up Congress. Busted

Why would Hillary have to spend money in New York?

Hmmmm...the end of the article stated the campaign is paying for Trump’s thank you tour, but I thought Trump said HE was paying for the thank you tour.

If you are for No Borders, tax increases, men in the girls’ room, etc., you have to spend a billion dollars to win. That’s why Trump beat all 16 of his RINO opponents, and beat Hillary, even though she stole five states.

I want to see the Sessions Justice Dept. expose the theft of five states.

"Why would Hillary have to spend money in New York?"

There are 62 counties in New York State. She won only 16. All I know is that my cable programming comes from Syracuse, and there were Hillary ads all the time. Thank God I use a DVR and was able to fast-forward through them all.

“...Until the end”

Raw unedited video of Clinton supporters at Javits Center on the historic night (37 min) - https://www.youtube.com/embed/107Qhub2YPE

Interesting how the video feed into the Javits Center changed throughout the night - they started with CNN, then went to NBC, then to ABC, and finally settling on MSNBC.

Almost like they were desperately searching for good news.

And then towards the end, they just ended the video altogether and piped in music until Podesta came out and told everyone to go home.

Let's see... liberals parted with $581 million of their own money and nothing to show for it.

I'd say that's the deal of the century.

I live the MD. There was non-stop Hillary Radio and TV Ads. Don’t know why she spent money in Liberal Strongholds.
