“And Donald Trump started out last year competing against 16 primary opponents.”
11, since 5 dropped out before the primaries. Still a lot, but 11 is the correct number.

Are we going to haggle over the more than $500 million they spent against Trump in negative ads? Something neither Cruz or Kasich had to deal with?
Of course not. No one is going to believe that 5 candidates who never even made it to the primaries spent an average of $50 million each on their entire campaigns, let alone negative ads against one guy. I highly doubt you'd get any to buy 1/10th of that figure.
Going into IA, each candidate had 11 opponents. That's a big field. No need to inaccurately inflate the number by close to 50%.
Basically no matter how they try and discount Trump, he has slaughtered about 15 candidates who were running in competition with him at the beginning.
Hillary will just be another notch on his belt.
Youwill find her smeared spot of goey maggots,fluid and gray hair on the political highway of roadkill. About one mile down the massive grease spot formerly known as Ted.
Gag. Spit!
