Trial Balloon · Ep. 191: Blue Wave Update

Clinton Spends Campaign Cash Quickly

October 16, 2015 · 7:00 am ET · 6 Comments

“Hillary Clinton narrowly edged out Bernie Sanders in third quarter fundraising, but she was in a class all by herself when it came to blowing through campaign cash,” Politico reports.

“The analysis raises red flags about whether Clinton’s increasingly tapped-out big donor base can maintain her massive campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, which spent $26 million ― more than twice that of any other presidential candidate ― between the beginning of July and the end of September.”

Bloomberg: “The Democratic candidate is running a different kind of campaign than she did when she unsuccessfully sought her party’s nomination for the presidency, an analysis of her recent TV ad buys and her third-quarter campaign finance report reveals. Privately, the campaign says they’re spending their money more wisely this time, aiming to correct some mistakes of the past, as they focus to build an in-house team that can sustain itself through the primaries and into the general election.”
