I just don’t get this. Every major 2016 presidential campaign has spent more money on TV ads than Trump!
ALL OF THEM:
Total ad spending:
Clinton campaign: $61,000,000
Jill Stein: $189,000
Gary Johnson: $15,000
Trump campaign: $0https://t.co/mVvhA63tHs

Here’s more:
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.
Oh, and get this: The Green Party’s Jill Stein ($189,000) and Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson ($15,000) have spent more on ads than the Trump campaign ($0) in this general election.
What in the world is Trump doing? He’s way down in the polls and hasn’t spent a dime on TV ads?
It’s like he doesn’t want to win.
