First, read this, from Mark Murray’s article at the decidedly anti-Trump NBC News:
Hillary Clinton and her allies continue to outspend Donald Trump and his backers over the airwaves by a 15-to-1 margin, according to ad-spending data from SMG Delta.
Team Clinton has spent $57 million on ads so far in the general election — $25 million coming from the campaign and another $32 million from pro-Clinton Super PACs.
By comparison, Team Trump has aired $3.6 million in ads, with all of the spending from two outside groups, the National Rifle Association ($2.3 million) and Rebuilding America Now ($1.3 million). The Trump campaign has yet to spend a single cent on ads so far in the general election.
Last week, the totals were $45 million for Team Clinton, versus $2.8 million for Team Trump.
Wow. Hillary Clinton started the month ahead. And now, after this past week – what with the media assuring us she was cleared on the email scandal and the expenditure of all that money – she must have pulled so far from Donald Trump that he’d have trouble seeing her in his rear-view mirror. Right?
No, wrong.
In the past few days, one poll after another is showing that Donald Trump not only has lost no ground, but has taken a serious upward jump.
Here’s one of them, just released from Quinnipiac. Here’s another one from McClatchy/Marist. And there are more.
How could that be?
I don’t know, maybe….could it possibly be….that media’s best efforts notwithstanding, a percentage of the voters saw through the BS and realized what a corrupt liar she was? I suspect that just might have had something to do with it.
I wonder how much Ms. Clinton is going to outspend Mr. Trump by in July…..
UPDATE: I had to share this with you.
As Trump makes a major move in at least two polls, here – as of about 5:25PM Eastern Time – is the cbsnews.com lead headline:
Ahead of GOP convention, is Trump gaining ground?
“A bit” of good news? That’s quite a spin, guys.
But at least I didn’t see one of those Hillary Clinton ads across the top of the page — the ones that have been there almost without fail for the past week or two.
