According to the collaborative work of researchers for Advertising Age, Hillary Clinton is spending over $145 million on TV and Radio Ads. Donald Trump’s total is a little over 4 million. Team Clinton is burning 36 times more money than Team Trump.
(Via AdAge) To put all this another way, of the $149,912,723 millon in booked TV and radio spending through election day for these three presidential candidates, $145,299,727 is being spent by the Clinton campaign combined with pro-Clinton PACs. (link)
(LINK) Another reason for the media to hate Trump. He’s not filling their bank accounts.
What does she care? She's spending other people's money. And she's got hers. She'll spend billions of our money on nonsense but when it comes around to her own money, she'll treat a nickel like it's a manhole cover.
I saw the Republicans (RINOs all) ad calling Trump dangerous numerous times while watching one of those rerun channels. But I did NOT see it on any of the NFL games where it would have got a lot more exposure, at a much higher cost per minute. I wonder if half or more of what they claim to be spending is finding its way into Hillary’s offshore retirement fund...
Pa will go Trump—I’ll eat my words right here on FR if it doesn’t(unless Trump loses in which case I will already have been transported to the ER).
That’s not “analysis.”
That’s arithmetic.
Hillary spent $145M on why she should be President, and it’s all blown by one video of her tweeted by a citizen.
Trump is letting her burn through all her cash. When she's low, he will come out swinging in the last month.
I know the feeling.
This is all the pay to play money that no one including Drudge wants to talk about.
Hillary also has a hundred percent of the positive news stories on CNN and MSNBC - half the positive comments on FOX... AND all the butt kissing possible on CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, and NPR...’
Guess the American people’s hatred for ‘our ruling elites’ trumps it all...
Jeb-league spending and she’s behind in the polls.
Spend more!
Point? By your tone you think DT is a some hapless dolt, spending his money on jetting around the country and shrimp cocktails. He just doesn’t have a huge warchest to spend. The media blitz will come at the right time. I am sure some pretty smart people are telling him to go all 1588(Look up the Spanish armada reference) on her. Wait till the last moment to counter, preserve resources, attack strategically.
This may be why the media hates Trump so much, he won’t buy their product—advertising.
I guess the question is where would she be without spending so much money? Or where would Trump be if he matched her?
I remember hearing that loser Romney would blanket the airwaves after Labor Day, them Oct, then the last 2 weeks before the election... Never came...
Bush spent 8 years in power without ever challenging the Dem lies... Ever. All the people ever heard was one side... After a while, if the outrageous lies go unchallenged, they become cemented as truth in people's minds... Which is why Trump needs to spend now, before early voting, IMHO
Agree. Trump needs to start now with his media blitz. Early voting has already started in a number of states.
Funny I don’t see any stories about getting big money out of politics this cycle
I never said spending more than less was bad. I was pointing out, DT just doesn’t have the resources Hillary does. She has a huge matrix of Silicon Valley Asperger types, terrorist money, corrupt globalist foundations(Ford, etc.) to spend. It’s bottomless, frankly. Unlike Obama who loves campaigning Hillary I think hates it. We can and are using that against her. Look up the RCP averages at this point in the race this week. It was looking grim for Romney really. A tiny blip after the first debate where he closed into the MOE, but then got a mudhole stomped in him after that and by 4 weeks out it was clear he was going to lose. The donors abandoned him and well that was that. DT has some money, but not the 100’s of millions of OPM Hillary has to spend. He is doing great right now, miraculous in fact. Hillary is going to lose, anecdotal but most of liberal friends unlike 2008 and 2012 are all hang dog about her chances. No confident woofing this time around.
Agreed
She owns the weekends on Fox.
They should advertise as “Anti-Trump Fox Weekend”.
Except for one host on Friends and Pirro, they are a wasteland of overt and covert anti-Trump.
Just a reminder to everyone, Carl Cameron is a shiv expert with Trump. He’ll stab and twist multiple times in every one of his reports weekdays or weekends.
