Hillary Clinton and her allies continue to dominate the presidential battleground-state airwaves, outspending Donald Trump and pro-Trump groups this month, $26 million to $0, according to ad-spending data from SMG Delta.

For the week, it's $7.5 million to $0 in the eight battlegrounds of Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia. And when you add future ad reservations, it's $140 million to $0.

In these battleground states, the Clinton campaign has spent nearly $9 million in ads this month, while affiliated outside groups like the pro-Clinton Super PAC Priorities USA have chipped in an additional $17 million.

The sole pro-Trump advertiser, Rebuilding America Now, has aired commercials on national cable TV, not in the battlegrounds - at a price tag of $1.2 million so far.

He's playing it smart - the last 6 weeks will be time for the flurry of ads. Answering all those between now and then tend to waste money without actually changing anything.

Considering how he hasn't wasted time and money trying to counter most of the negative ads, he is sitting pretty good.

So Clinton is spending $140 million and Trump is up 4 points. does that mean if she spends $280 million Trump will be up 8 points?

OK, that’s plausible only if he is building up his warchest for the post-convention push. I really hope that’s the case. As unconventional as this campaign has been, he still needs to get the word out about how crooked Cankles really is.

Common sense would say that!
Ever been around a crazy person who just keeps talking and talking and talking. No one has to point out how crazy they are. Their own words prove the point

If you are constantly plastered by ads no matter what is being promoted at some point you begin to rebel.

The political version of “rope-a-dope” and H! is the dope in this case.

Saw it today, fairly powerful BUT someone made the call not to mention Odunga / Clinton by name. No sure if that wise, but what do I know.

10s of millions of anti-Trump Ads failed to stop Trump during the primary over many months. Crooked Hillary and a few on FR are going to find that out soon enough that they are ineffective against him.

I do hope Trump blankets the airways with anti-Hillary ads post convention. The media will carry the water for Hillary, but the ads are a way for Trump to bypass the media and show Americans why she is unfit to be President.

Interesting. From what I’ve read one of their most often run ad is a rehash of the “fat pig, etc.” ad run against Trump during the primaries. During the primaries he withstood about $75 to $100 MILLION in attack ads, so he may have actually been immunized. In almost every poll, except for the rigged Reuters polls, he’s neck and neck despite all the attack ads, even in the battleground states he’s hanging right with her. For Clinton to be spending tens of millions in attack ads, and millions more on her 800 person staff, and her other campaign expenses, while Trump takes advantage of free media, I’d say that he is by far, running the smartest campaign ever seen.
