Clinton runs up campaign cash advantage over Trump

New fundraising reports show Hillary Clinton’s campaign and joint accounts with Democrats had $153 million in the bank as of last week.
WASHINGTON >> Hillary Clinton entered the final phase of her presidential bid with a resounding campaign cash advantage over Donald Trump.
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.
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.
The candidates and many outside groups involved in the presidential race are filing their final pre-election fundraising reports on Thursday. The filings cover the first 19 days of the month.
Outside groups backing Clinton are better funded than those supporting Trump, the reports show. Super PACS can take unlimited contributions from wealthy donors, but they may not coordinate with the campaigns.
The pro-Clinton Priorities USA raised $18 million in 19 days. Some of its biggest most recent donors include Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and Susan Mandel, the wife of a hedge fund founder, who each put in $2.5 million this month.
Priorities USA has been spending most of its money on TV ads. It plans to spend $21 million on ads this week and next, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker.
Rebuilding America Now, one of several pro-Trump groups, raised only about $215,000 through the early part of this month. As of last week, the super PAC only had about $1.2 million in cash on hand. Another, Great America PAC, raised $2 million and had about as much left to spend.

Scary photo. Trick or treat HiLIARy. Lock her up.
We’ll see who gets locked up come November-December. Trump the rapist of children.
Trump, the former small time billionaire; reduced to simple millionaire, chump change, nobody.
Just like the hand-picked tutors he hired for Trump U; broken nobody’s with even a college degree, just like his minions.
no college degrees.
HiLIARy gets the Weiner from Huma. Bwahaha
What is scary is republicans saying someone should be locked up just because they are Hillary Clinton. No trial. Not even any charges. Just lock em up. Orwell would be proud of you sarge.
Classified emails alone should get her prison time. She is above the law and has been for the past 30 years. Total corruption from the top down. Hopefully the FBI will do their job in spite of the wheeling dealing top cop.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/28/fbi-probing-new-clinton-emails.html….The FBI is probing new emails related to Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey said in a Friday letter.
“In previous congressional testimony, I referred to the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had completed its investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s personal email server. Due to recent developments, I am writing to supplement my previous testimony,” Comey wrote.
“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation,” he added.

Morning Sarge22, news just breaking that the FBI has “reopened” the criminal investigation of Ms Hillary’s email issue in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman.
Donors have given up on Mr. Trump, and since he was always been lying about financing his own campaign, his cash is going to run out.
Mr. Trump is going to lose in a landslide. Good riddance to him.
Sadly republicans will probably replace him with fabulous Ted Cruz in 4 years. What a joke the republicans have become.
We are seeing manipulation and corruption openly taking place in America, and a good percentage of the country will be voting for the party behind it all…
IRT Klastri; Not after the WEINER exposed his self and I am not talking about Slick Willy. What is it about Hilliar and these WEINERS.
Question, If you are such a Clinton supporter how come you are not blogging in defense of your Hero on the latest FBI investigation. Right about now you are second guessing yourself on reserving that hotel room in D.C. Hilliar is starting to make all her supporters look like fools and the biggest one here is Zealot Klastri.
The Clintons are very good at running up the cash. They’ve made more than $100M redirecting Clinton Foundation money into their accounts. Now we know that they’ll get away with it because going after them means Obama gets sucked in as well. Have we ever seen corruption this bad before?
AhiPoke Two words-Prove it!
Wikileaks email.
So Trump’s claim that has has invested $100 million in his campaign is just another huge Trump lie. Estimates are that he has actually put in no more than $44 million with at least $9 million being paid back to Trump organizations that charge exorbitant rates for their services.
If it’s the truth, it’s a drop in the bucket on the LIES Crooked Hillary told the general public she worked fer! You Democrats are sheeps listening to your party’s leaders.
lol, Yet it is the Donald who is facing serious legal challenges. As for lying, no one can compare to the Donald, the king of liars.
Zero Hedge also has some good headlines out this morn, including one that IF you vote for Team Dem, you are essentially sanctioning CORRUPTION that has already occurred and more to come…

KeoniGohan, yes, it was coming. Now the entire campaign has changed. “Reopening” any criminal case by the FBI is critical.
BS better check your bs/estimates and just follow the money. This is Donalds Money no body else. It’s his alone and it’s not coming from the Super pacts or the “Rich and The Famous” people expecting special favors,should Hillary be elected….another “I doubt it”.
Here’s a tidbit for you.. . should you decide to accept. I doubt it! lol
“Follow the Money” and it will set your free!
Why are there only a few Millionaires and Billionaires supporting Donald Trump? I believe the number was around 10?
VS”
When you have over a 100 Billionaires and Millionaires/ WallstreeT. investors and so on supporting Hillary Clinton? Follow the money bro!
It’s telling that the most recent campaign filings show that the supposed billionaire gave a rather paltry and modest sum of only $31,000 to his campai in the month of October. To recap, he pledged, on many many occasions, that he would give his campaign, at minimum a $100 million. To date, he has provided approximately $65 million–thus begging the question, will he thrown in another $35 million in the next week or so?
Word on the street is that he won’t, as he realizes it won’t do much, and he has pretty much conceded the race.
Buahahahah!!!
If nothing else, this election will show how many people live in a state of willful ignorance.
No need to Sarge, you and the rest of the cricket crew have already provided a rather clear example of this….
Well my oh my. FBI probing new Clinton emails. It ain’t over yet. Lock her up.
sarge22…you are informed!
Here it is again…

Ike,I guess you’re not keeping up with the “Current events” surrounding Your Hero’s emails. #Lock Her Up. Get ready to join hands with Boots, Klastri Keaukaha ,Allie and the Gang.
Gasp!Crickets!
C’mon SA where is the story ” “FBI reopens case into Hillary’s Emails”?
They are busy looking for old ladies that have been sexually abused by Mr Trump.
………this is a good day for the American people! And an excellent day for Donald Trump!
Was the FBI daunted by the Wikileaks dumps,only to have James Comey do a 180% by reopening this case? There seemed to have been a reluctance with the initial investigations in these emails scandals. Why? & Why now? Maybe because now we know Obama was involved in using the same server to communicate with Hillary Clinton……. cont.
