Saw a pointer to this article over on JPR. According to NBC, Clinton isn't buying any ad time in Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Oregon, or California. Hubris or low funds?

(11,785 posts)finished the primary season deep in debt. I'm thinking about the talking point being circulated that Bernie's requests for donations are "fraud" and that he should drop out because it's "wasting money" and Hillary needs to build up a war chest for the GE.
We already know she's been dipping heavily into the "Victory Fund" for ad buys. Surely she wouldn't have done that during primary season if her campaign was running in the black?

(6,829 posts)hubris, plus current pollng numbers showing big leads for her. That plus Bernie laying off staff, making cutbacks, it makes sense for her to save up money to spend post June primaries/pre DNC convention attacking Trump with ads.
I hope it backfires and has Bernie pull out victories in those states,

(16,402 posts)[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]An article I read - which I can't really vouch for the accuracy of, but the profile fits with tactics we've seen so far - said Clinton phone bankers are spreading rumors that Bernie's dropping out and are pushing "party unity" on that basis.
Has anyone else read or heard more about this?

(1,268 posts)in her face big time. Something along the line of like having the FBI announce it's recommending indictment for holding classified information on a private server. Because as you know good (Bernie) always wins over evil (Her Darth Vaderness). Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Edited to add: These spending comparisons are meaningless when they leave out the PAC spending.
