Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's September inundation of the airwaves cost her campaign $66 million, swamping rival Donald Trump's media presence.

A new campaign finance report filed Thursday night showed that Clinton's campaign committee paid out nearly $66 million for media buys last month to the ad placement firm GMMB - twice as much it spent in August.

I get beat over the head with one about once every ten minutes here in PA.

Have retreated to oldies radio and old VHS tapes as a result.

Despite the huge spend she can’t open up any space between her and Trump.

Keeping dark money out of politics. Meanwhile, she scores another 100 or 200 million dollars in foreign pay-to-play donations into her Clinton Crime Family Foundation (reserving future access).

All I can say is that Jeb Bush went through $150 million in the primaries and it did not do him one bit of good.

$66 million in a month, impressive.

The value of the corrupt media to her campaign. Priceless!

When you don’t have a solution to any of the problems created by government that are devastating all Americans, and most of your time is spent on nappy drug holidays, you have to saturate the airwaves with your lies in the form of attack ads. This is why she had to raise a billion dollars for her campaign. Her only solution is to double down on the last eight years of obamination.

i have been warning and warning about this

Trump is almost nonexistent on the major media advertising spots

its all about HilLIARy and “public service announcements” about how to sign up for free welfare, how to welcome and appreciate obama’s terrorist invader army...oops, “refugees’..........and how to avoid having to pay your taxes, student loans, or mortgages

and prostate pills

but no Trump.
Hillary is brainwashing the masses and Trump is holding (very successful) rallies that reach maybe five percent of voters....

not good

That’s some grade “C” high-school acting by Hillary right there.

Are you certain she didn’t spend $666 million?

suspect about 1/2 of Hillary ads are counterproductive and help Trump

[...spent $66 million just to air ads in September]

I’d like to know how MANY ad’s that included, I’m betting that Trump would only get half the AMOUNT for that same money.

Thanks

So at -6.2 average across the PA polls, it seems that DT cannot catch-up (even without the cheating in Philly)
