Clinton Outspends Trump By $31 Million, ‘To No Effect’

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton outspent Republican nominee Donald Trump by $31 million, and still trails Trump in some swing state polls.
“Our expenditures on advertising, our expenditures on people, our expenditures on everything are a tiny fraction. And yet we’re minimum tied,” Trump told supporters at a rally in North Carolina Tuesday. “If you can spend less and be winning, that’s a positive thing, right?”
