Senior Dems Concerned That Clinton Is Spending Millions on Ads That Aren’t Working

Some Democrats are privately worrying that Hillary Clinton has been spending too much money and seeing too few results.

Clinton, who has way more cash on hand than Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has been outspending the New York real estate mogul at a rate of 15-1 but has seen her lead shrink to single digits in certain key states.

According to The Hill, senior Democrats met with Clinton in DC on Monday and mentioned a recent Florida poll that showed Trump pulling ahead in the Sunshine State. They questioned whether Clinton was really running her campaign effectively, having spent about $47 million in television ads.

Trump himself has spent next to nothing. A few SuperPACs and the NRA have run around $3 million in anti-Clinton ads, focusing only on her position on the Second Amendment.

The good news for Clinton is that the worrywarts were a minority, even among the professional strategists in the meeting, according to one source at the table. That source said the concern was largely voiced by “bed-wetters.”

But Clinton needs to start pulling ahead of Trump if she intends to sustain the lead all the way through November. Trump will likely get a polling boost from his convention speech, and while some Republicans are splitting off the party in protest, led by Ted Cruz, who is trying to make them feel better about their decision to abstain, Trump supporters are feeling stronger than ever.

Had this been the GOP you can bet names would have been named.

I look forward to Pres. Trump instituting the first Federal Survey as he gets to know his employees...

First no one that counts is going to be watching the DNC next week. Seccond, the Trump/Pence team will be be actively campaigning through the entire DNC convention next week, claiming news coverage, slots from the Obama/Clinton lovefest. I will not watch one second of the Obama/Clinton, Democrat, “traitor/treason/turncoat” farce, called a political convention next week. And.....I suspect millions of Americans voted will choose the same option as I have done!!!

It takes a lot of advertising money to sell a crap sandwich

Her sell-by date may have been 2008.

She is sort of like Jeb — more of the same. But people are sick and tired of ‘more of the same.’

[unixfox]

Jus keep burning that cash! Futile effort.

This is what I expect the DNC to look like when she talk about Trump:

Hillary is the candidate of the status quo.

Americans who want more of the same will vote for her.

The rest want change. Its that simple.

The witch is spending money like a drunken sailor and she gets no good results...

Reminds you of anyone we know?

As in Jebuardo BOOOOOSH and his *THREE* 50 million dollar delegates?!?
"A fool and their money are soon parted".

That's why Hillary is known as ...

Maybe we should tell them we like these ads so much they should just run these sames ads over and over again...back to back...two or three times per half hour.

That should help. ROFLMFAO

During the primary against Bernie, Hillary was blanketing California with ads. Those ads are supposedly credited in keeping her from losing the primary. (Or if you look at the internals, it took a 64-36 race and turned it into 57-43 finish. Great job, Hillary.)

[InABunkerUnderSF]

BTW: Has anyone heard about any major celebrity support for her?

Lena Dunham?

[JayAr36]

I’m always interested in the the statement that so-and-so has this amount of money vs the other party. If these morons would look at the facts an interesting fact is becoming apparent Hillary dog-pile has spent a lot of cash vs Trump and who is winning.

Dumos are hoping to replace a turd in a tie with a turd in a skirt with the same results.

[matt04]

I’ve seen her running those ads in deep blue CT a few weeks ago,

[stephenjohnbanker]

The Beast must be scared to death ....Trump will pull no punches in the debates. We will know it’s over when Trump makes he SCREECH ....LOL !!

[HangUpNow]

all the money in the world cannot change the fact that clinton is a corrupt lying bitch

DING DING DING!

[RayChuang88]

Here's the difference: Trump has played the MSM masterfully and right from the start built up a massive presence on Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat--at essentially pauper's costs. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has spent a fortune fighting off Bernie Sanders and now have to spend a MASSIVE amount of money fighting off Donald Trump. I don't think even George Soros, Tom Steyer and the richest stars in the entertainment industry are going to continue to give money to Hillary Clinton when they realize the phrase A fool and his money are soon parted applies to THEM.

[Joe Boucher]

she could bribe folks to vote for her.
Lots of money there.
How much would it take for you to pull the lever for Mrs Clinton.
I just couldn’t do it. Not for any amount/Course I’m not on food stamps or any gub mint give away program.
