Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign cost a record $1.2B
By Bob Fredericks
Modal Trigger
Hillary Clinton and her supporters spent a record $1.2 billion for her losing presidential campaign — twice as much as the winner, Donald Trump, according to the latest records.
The president-elect, who confounded critics during the campaign by saying there was no need to raise or spend $1 billion or more, ended up making do with $600 million.
Clinton’s expensive machine tore through $131.8 million in just the final weeks, finishing with about $839,000 on hand as of Nov. 28.
Team Trump spent $94.5 million in the home stretch — from Oct. 20 to Nov. 28 — and had $7.6 million left.
The figures include all spending by the campaigns, PACs and party committees.
Trump contributed $66 million from his own pocket, $34 million less than he estimated he would shell out.
Brad Parscale, Trump’s digital director, credited strategic last-minute investments with helping propel the political newcomer to victory.
The campaign and the Republican Party spent about $5 million in get-out-the-vote digital advertising targeted in the final few days at Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida.
It proved critical: Some of those states were won by razor-thin margins.
“You think, what if we hadn’t spent that?” Parscale said. “We might not have won.”
Last June, Trump shrugged off skeptics who said he needed to spend $1 billion to have a chance to win.
“There’s no reason to raise that,” Trump said.
“I just don’t think I need nearly as much money as other people need because I get so much publicity. I get so many invitations to be on television. I get so many interviews, if I want them.”

Inclusief buitenlandse donaties, om vervolgens te gaan klagen over de 'Russische invloed'.

Oke er zijn documenten gepubliceerd, waar ik vrijwel niemand over hoor is dat de inhoud van deze documenten voor opschudding hebben gezorgd en niet in de laatste plaats vanwege de overtredingen (moreel alsmede wettelijk). De effecten van deze documenten waren minder geweest wanneer het beeld niet zo tegenstrijdig was met het beeld dat zo zorgvuldig was opgebouwd. Dit is politiek, een slangenkuil. Tevens vraag ik mij af of het effect bij de kiezer zo groot was als wordt beweerd.
Obama & Co. zijn nu druk bezig met het ledigen v.d. laatste emmers stront op de Russen. Nog een grote maand en we zijn er een paar jaar van verlost.
