Clinton Campaign Now Outspending Trump on Ads — $52 Million to 0
by MARK MURRAYNearly $100 million has been spent on general-election TV advertisements in the presidential race since the primary season ended, but Donald Trump’s campaign still hasn’t spent a single cent on one of them.
It is, of course, Hillary shouting that big money must be banned.
Now, who do you want to spend your tax money? The ones that spend like there is no tomorrow, or the one that spend only what’s needed?
Trump is only a chump
But Hillary is killery.
Some of you may wish to compare your “potency” to the Donald – ie could you crush him in a handshake.
Well now you can see if you measure up.
For the record, I am not a big guy, but my hand dwarfs the Donald’s.

Hillary certainly represents the interests of the ordinary, working billionaire.
And?
If you think a rule is unfair, you still exploit it – especially when that’s what will give you the power to change it.
Scrolling down, the next article says Clinton has a 10 point lead over Trump. Is he going to start spending on advertising soon? Will that help him narrow the gap? Things aren’t looking great for Trump at the moment.
Trump is a loser.
Actually Trump has been very scathing about Super PACs also.
The Democrat domination of the media means she can cynically play this card while splurging colossal sums and no one will hold her to account.
Is Hillary spending big, in US terms? 50 cents per voter isn’t that much.
I think it rather that the Donald is broke
Who is this Big Money fellow?
I think he as a ring to his name. Rather than getting him out of US politics I want him elected,,,,,
President Big Money!

I think he’s worked out that free publicity is better than paid ads (not just free, but gets more attention). Why pay for it when everyone’s talking about him anyway?
But I still think he only entered the primaries to get free publicity for his hotels; did you notice his press conferences were all in his own venues?

Very sensible. You save money, you know the staff and your security detail knows all the ways in and out.
“Scrolling down, the next article says Clinton has a 10 point lead over Trump. Is he going to start spending on advertising soon? Will that help him narrow the gap? Things aren’t looking great for Trump at the moment.”
I don’t think he cares that much. I think what The Donald really craves is attention. It’s why he just keeps saying stupid stuff. It gets him in the press and that’s what he wants.
Hmmm………
Hilary spends lots of money on advertising
trjmp spends nothing or next to nothing
Hilary has good positive media coverage
Trump is attacked and reviled (suggestions he’s mentally unstable even)
Good ghjng the media is independent and can’t be bought, I mean it’s not like they rely on advertising spend is it
“Scrolling down, the next article says Clinton has a 10 point lead over Trump.”
And I hear Carter is going to win big over Reagan.
What do you expect the dinosaur media to say? If Trump gets in the White House, they might as well pack up and go home. Obviously they’ll do everything they can to help Clinton win. She’s the Big Business candidate.
The Screech certainly wants to get the money out of politics; and into the pockets of (-D) politicians where it belongs.
Why pay for it when everyone’s talking about him anyway?
That’s the sort of strategy you have if you are desperate, not if you are sensible.
And I hear Carter is going to win big over Reagan.
Top marks for searching out the one time a genuinely big lead was lost. But you’ll need more cherries than that to make a cherry pie.
@Mohave, you’re almost there – they want to get Republican money out of politics.
They’re intensely relaxed about unions (the biggest political doners by far), Soros and so on.

“the one time a genuinely big lead was lost”
Dukakis led Bush Snr by 18% in July; – didn’t help him in November.
We can’t forget Dewey’s loss to Truman. The media didn’t get it right even after the polls had closed.
On vacation, while driving past the Ford Presidential Library, the thought occurred to me that I wish we could have the choice between better candidates of the caliber of Ford and Carter.
