| Clinton camp has four times as much cash as Trump | |
| Hillary Clinton entered the final phase of her presidential bid with a resounding campaign cash advantage over Donald Trump, the AP reports. | |
| New fundraising reports show her campaign and joint accounts with Democrats had $153 million in the bank as of last week. That’s more than double the $68 million Trump’s campaign and partnership committees had on hand. The Trump campaign itself has only $16 million cash on hand for the final two weeks of the campaign compared to $62 million for Clinton. | |
| At this point in the election:Bush '00 had $22.3M leftBush '04 had $22.4MMcCain '08 had $21.3M Romney '12 had $52.7M Trump has $16M | |
| Clinton’s continued fundraising advantage helps ensure the Democratic nominee can keep her sprawling political operation at full strength in the frantic final days of the race. She maintains a staff of more than 800 — several times larger than Trump’s — and has spent more on advertising than the Republican has every single week of the race. | |
| Over the course of the primary and general elections, Clinton’s campaign has hauled in $513 million, roughly double what Trump’s has. | |
| She outpaced him again in the first 19 days of October, the new reports show, when her campaign reaped $53 million as his brought in about $30 million. | |
| While Trump, a New York businessman who says he is worth $10 billion, typically makes a personal contribution of about $2 million each month, he had not done so yet in October. The latest contribution reports, up to date as of Wednesday, show he had given only about $33,000. | |
| A particularly rich stat from last night: Hillary Clinton self-funded her campaign ($50k) more in October than Donald Trump did ($30k.) https://t.co/p0SfyhCHyB | |
| Trump said Wednesday, “I’m gonna be in for over $100m.” | |
| Donald Trump tells @GStephanopoulos he's willing to pour millions more into his campaign before Election Day. https://t.co/3Yq8tGl7Bt pic.twitter.com/NpCjbawaPt | |
| Anybody think he’s | |
| bullshitting | |
| sorry family newspaper anybody think he’s smokescreening? | |
| If Trump were to honor his pledge to spend $100 million on his campaign, he would have to give $44 million in just TWENTY days. | |

| Hello and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the 2016 race for the White House. Donald Trump is blitzing through three must-win (for him) states (or parts of states, at least) today. He begins in New Hampshire, proceeds to Maine’s second district (where, owing to unusual state rules, he might pick off one of its four electoral votes) and ends in Iowa. | Hello and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the 2016 race for the White House.
