Donald Trump pulled off one of the biggest upsets in American political history last night and he was able to do it after spending nearly half of what the Clinton campaign spent. According to Reuters, Hillary Clinton raised over $520 million for her campaign compared to only $270 million for Trump, much of which came out of his own pocket. Given the current popular vote count those spending figures equate to roughly $8.80 per Hillary vote versus $4.57 for Trump. Moreover, those spending figures don't even factor in the money spent by the various Super PACs where Hillary likely outspent Trump by a hefty margin as well.
Relying heavily on an unorthodox mix of social media, unfiltered rhetoric, and a knack for winning free TV time, the New York real estate magnate likely paid less than $5 per vote during his insurgent White House bid, about half what Clinton paid, according to a Reuters analysis of campaign finance records and voting data. Those figures assume the candidates spent all the funds they raised.

Slightly off topic....but I would sure like to see Gloria Allred suffer for her efforts to screw with the election.

Period.
Add HuffPo, Yahoo and a host of other bottom feeder media in the Clinton Crime Cabal for their part in the daily Trump bash and innuendos.
And one would have to throw in the tremendously biased media coverage in her favor. The coordination with the press to promote her candidacy didn’t come with a price tag and was almost insurmountable.
President Trump has already saved America and freedom from communist Hillary. Hillary would have turned the USA into a 3rd world socialist hell hole in a couple of years mainly with Executive Amnesty and massive Muslim immigration. you all have no idea what a bullet we Americans and America dodged .
Now if you all would read President Trump’s book you would see that America IS about to become Great Again:

Taking off July and August – two whole months in the prime of the campaign - was idiotic. But then they thought they already had it won, so they didn’t need to campaign, LOL
Same with dismissing the FBI investigation with “there’s no scandal here” or ignoring Trump’s questions with “I’m just ignoring him and already planning my Cabinet” – it was that insufferable CLINTON ARROGANCE that brought her down …
… and there’s something organic and natural about that
No one will be contributing in the future to the Clinton Foundation either. Who in their right mind would do so? All of their “buying of influence” has come to naught. The Clintons are going to be on the lam from their contributors, both foreign and domestic, for years to come. The safest place for Bill and Hill may be in a top security prison, or in Gitmo.
Sorry, meant August and September!
It would be really interesting to see a graph of Campaign Rallies per day for each candidate … Hillary’s chart would be a flatline at zero for most of the campaign, with a frantic spike at the end
And to think that Trump was the one making the bad investments...
I thought she spent nearly 1.5 billion
She probably will.
I agree. I think it would have been impossible for virtually any other candidate on earth to pull off this amazing feat, against a hateful array of the entire Uni-party Establishment and Media (but I repeat myself) and whose financial resources were, for all intents and purposes, unlimited.
Indeed, I had grave doubts until the very last moment. The forces arrayed against him just seemed overwhelmingly formidable by any objective standard.
Indeed, I'm convinced that Divine Providence must have been involved in the accomplishment of so impossible a task by one mortal man.
O! How the mighty have fallen! The elites' power has been utterly broken, and hopefully will remain that way forever!
"For with God nothing shall be impossible."— Luke 1:37 KJV
What a victory for the American People! Its consequences will ripple forth eternally into the most distant reaches of human history...
Biased media?
Sadly, during the worse housing crisis in over 100 years and the media never covered anything about the homeless for the last 8 years. Starting in January there will be homeless people everywhere. Hmm, I wonder where they came from?
After 8 years the media will finally start doing their job. There will be homeless everywhere, heroin addicts everywhere, jobless everywhere. Oh my God where did they all come from?
Just yesterday they blamed 2000 GM layoffs on Trump and he isn’t even Pres yet.
The media is and will be our public enemy #1.
But she’s nasty and everyone knows it, no matter how much money is spent trying to rehabilitate her.
Spending OPM
Redistribution of wealth
Voter fraud
Do not produce a winner!
We the People
DO!
I’m hoping the next time I see Hillary in national news is wearing an orange jumpsuit.
if she actually paid that girl $500,000 to say those things about Trump, I expect we’ll see Gloria Allred get into some trouble
Amen!
