Ad Spending Update: Clinton Outspends Trump $57M to $4M
NBC ^ | 13 Jul 2016

Posted on 07/13/2016 8:04:51 AM PDT by mandaladon

Hillary Clinton and her allies continue to outspend Donald Trump and his backers over the airwaves by a 15-to-1 margin, according to ad-spending data from SMG Delta.

Team Clinton has spent $57 million on ads so far in the general election -- $25 million coming from the campaign and another $32 million from pro-Clinton Super PACs.

By comparison, Team Trump has aired $3.6 million in ads, with all of the spending from two outside groups, the National Rifle Association ($2.3 million) and Rebuilding America Now ($1.3 million). The Trump campaign has yet to spend a single cent on ads so far in the general election.

Last week, the totals were $45 million for Team Clinton, versus $2.8 million for Team Trump.

Clinton's advantage is even more pronounced in the battlegrounds, where Team Clinton has spent a combined $46.2 million in nine states to Team Trump's $1.2 million. That's nearly a 40-to-1 margin.

Team Clinton: $57 million ($25 million from campaign, $32 million from Super PACs)

The Trump team is strategically waiting until Sept/Oct to unleash the barrage.

Team Trump keeping the powder dry. What I have noticed is Trump has a pronounced presence on social media.

This costs a fraction of what a TV add does and reaches a wider spectrum of people. Especially you get voters.

“All the money she’s spends...and look where she stands according to the latest polls...”

This should be very troubling for the Clinton Camp.

Hillary: Don't confuse effort with progress (even as a Progressive). Pathetic campaign performance, being outspent to this degree, and barely breaking even - or behind in many states.

WONDER IF SHE OUT SPENDS JEB? just wondering...

When she runs out she can just send and email to the Middle East and demand a deposit be put in the FOUNDATION ACCOUNT. CROOKED HILLARY, WE KNOW HOW SHE OPERATES.

She goes to all these little venues. He has monstrous turnouts.

He's in the news everyday. Someone always helps him out, like Ginsburg. Did she think he wouldn't respond?

Hillary must be going....damn...just damn...cuz she can't chime in.

Where is the lecture on how much EVIL money is being spent in the campaign process? Trump figured out, in a very businesslike way, how to cost-effectively beat TWO political parties. Make no mistake, he fighting TWO political party establishments. 40:1? not bad...

The MSM is their own worst enema.

They are so in the tank for Hillary and try to attack Trump. He gladly and enthusiastically goes on every show he can. It's FREE MEDIA for him.

EVERY time Hillary is on, her numbers drop.

Trump gets to sit back on the cash and use free face time from the media.

Hillary CAN'T use face time. She has to rely on ads.

She'll burn through money early.

The last 4-6 weeks, Trump will do an ad blitz and bury her.

The undecided now, will remain undecided up until the last month. That's when Trump will go all in.

I guess it isn’t surprising that Soros and other anti-American jerks are willing to spend this much to purchase our U.S. government.

I don’t watch public or cable tv (Netflix and Hulu only) and I have Ad Block on my web browser so I haven’t seen a single Hillary ad. The only ads I have seen are a few for state and local elections off Hulu.

The best part of this is that a large portion of your young voters watch TV shows like I do and won’t see any of her ads either.

Here in “swing state” Pennsylvania, I see this harpy’s adds every time I turn on the TV. I have to quick change the channel when I see it coming to avoid getting a headache or high blood pressure. However, the one or two times I actually watched them, it struck me how horrible they were. I mean, they were bad. She’s playing up the angle that she’s “for the children” and brazenly tries to take credit for Obamacare creating insurance coverage for children (put aside the fact that it isn’t true).
