Trump Still Hasn’t Spent Any Money on TV Ads

First Read: “Exactly two months ago, Hillary Clinton’s campaign went up with its first general election TV ads in battleground states, and in that time it has spent $61 million over the airwaves, while pro-Clinton outside groups have chipped in an additional $43 million. That’s a combined $104 million in total ad spending for Team Clinton.”

“But in that same time frame, Donald Trump’s campaign still hasn’t spent a single cent on a general-election ad, with two pro-Trump outside groups coming to the rescue with $12.4 million over the airwaves. That’s a nearly 9-to-1 advantage in ad spending.”

They are going to use whatever resources they have starting around the first of October, about the same time more wiki leaks and more Russian leaks. It will be coordinated by Manafort, Putin and Assange, with an assist to FoxNews.
