Hillary Clinton and her supporters spent a record $1.2 billion for her losing presidential campaign — twice as much as the winner, Donald Trump, according to the latest records.

The president-elect, who confounded critics during the campaign by saying there was no need to raise or spend $1 billion or more, ended up making do with $600 million.

Not a single story about how "we have to get the money out of politics" from the fake news MSM.

I heard nothing about the presidential campaign fund this year. The one that Hussein said he would honor, and then didn’t.

The media is quick to point out Hillary winning the popular vote, but if you look at dollars spent per vote won, Trump kicked butt.

I wonder how much was slid back into the Clinton Crime Family’s private account. “Sure you can get a $100,000 printing contract if you can send $10,000 to this Swiss bank account.”

Because the most heavily populated part of the state is basically a suburb of Boston both sides spent a fortune on Boston TV for ads aimed at New Hampshire.But The Former Twelfth Lady had far,far more ads than did DJT...at least as far as I could tell.I didn't really keep track.

Wow: 2 to 1!
And I’m pretty sure all the numbers aren’t in yet on the money spent.

If the object of the game were to win the popular vote; Trump would have won the popular vote. Going for the popular vote would have wasted resources, and might have cost him the E.V. (which, we would all have been reminded, time and again, is all that mattered).

If you’re playing chess, you play by chess rules — no points for your pawn “jumping” other pieces, as in checkers.

if anything we will see the uniparty media demanding more money be spent to ensure their next hillary candidate wins.

Look to all Free Republic folks, lets NOT put any more stuff about HILLARY. She lost, I don’t enjoy seeing her face, or it makes no cotton picking difference what she says. It is all crazy like she is sniffing glue. Lets move on...get someone new on the Main Page... I rather look at rat vomit than see her thinking her opinion has some kind of high merit. SHE is the inventor of FAKE NEWS...it was all about a video, and then lectures everyone else about Fake News.

“Weekend at Bernies’s “.

The media never mentioned it of course, but in the last weeks Trump was making hours of speeches a day and Hillary was only doing a half hour -or less- of speeches a day.
...She wasn’t doing much more than a corpse could.
