Hillary Clinton campaign's posted another impressive fundraising month in June but blew through almost the entire haul, spending more than in any other month of the cycle so far.

The campaign spent $34.5 million and raised $36.4 million, leaving it with a slightly higher cash position of $44.4 million at the end of June, according to its latest report to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday.

Just $5.9 million, or about 16 percent, of her contributions came from small donors. The campaign said its average donation was $48.

The campaign spent $20.2 million on media, more than twice as much as Donald Trump's campaign spent total in June. The 651-person payroll soaked up $2.5 million. Brooklyn devoted $1.7 million to polling, to Trump's $0.

At this point in the 2012 cycle, President Barack Obama's campaign had $97.5 million on hand.

Here’s hoping that the Rat convention is so disastrous that not even their legions of media myrmidons can spin it into a success.

This is a telling set of data. To her, that money is hers. So she’ll spend it when she feels that it’ll be gone soon anyway.

When she spends, you can figure she’s scared.

We were told there are many Hillary paid community organizers, running around the Pittsburgh area with Hillary flyers.

Agreed. As of now, I can see Donald doing very well in areas like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown, White Plains, Central Leatherstocking country, Long Island, basically anywhere outside of Manhattan.

.... Brooklyn devoted $1.7 million to polling, to Trump’s $0 ...

The Beast needs polling to craft lies to explain her lies.

Doesn’t Trump occasionally brag about his campaign projects being completed below budget?

Exactly. They always think that money is the solution to everything, the way to everyone’s hearts and minds.

Anybody think maybe her candidacy is just an excuse to create a new pool of money to skim?

She’s fighting for her life to stay out of federal prison. Plain and simple.

This bears repeating...she is spending in HUGELY expensive Chicago on the network affiliates. Why would she be spending money in a deep blue state?

Because she’s scared and so are her media buyers.

Hillary, you’ve had it!!

Good question.

I see Hillary ads here in swing state CO.

Apparently, Hillary believes her massive cash haul makes her victory inevitable.

Jeb Bush believed the same thing. If you don’t have a message, all the money in the world and highly paid campaign consultants won’t be of much help.

The only four counties in Indiana are in the Chicago market—Lake, Newton, Jasper and Porter.

She’s spending in horribly expensive Chicago. She is toast and she knows it. Illinois is suddenly in play?? Put her on a spit and bring in the sauce!!

Pekin is in the Peoria / Bloomington market. An area so republican that the state senator for that area is a democrat and was the lead state senate sponsor of pro concealed carry legislation four years BEFORE the courts forced the legislature’s hand!!

Hillary has had it.
