Democrat candidate’s spending is getting her nowhere fast…
With polls tightening and GOP candidate Donald Trumps chances of winning the presidency improving almost daily, Hillary Clinton’s campaign spent $50 million in August, according to the Associated Press.
Much of Clinton’s spending has been eaten up by advertising, which is costing her about $10 million per week. Through August, she blanketed 11 states with 35,714 broadcast television commercials to Trump’s 7,457 in five states, according to Kantar Media’s political ad data.
Clinton also has built a robust campaign team of 800 employees who cost a total of about $5 million last month. Even after an August hiring spree, Trump has a far smaller shop of about 130 employees and more than 100 consultants.
If Clinton loses the election–in spite spending so much money–Trump’s unorthodox approach to garnering earned media may be a model emulated in the future.
