Trump Has Spent the Least of the Candidates

Chris Cillizza: “Sure, it’s true that some of Trump’s low spending has to do with the fact that, unlike anyone else on that chart, he is almost entirely self-funding his campaign. Without the need to hold fundraisers (or employ fundraising consultants) you can keep costs down.”

“But, even with that caveat, the fact that Trump has spent so little to get so much is remarkable. He is in first place in every single national and key-early-state poll I have seen and he continues to dominate the conversation about the race. Not only is he dominating the conversation about the race, but he has also started to dictate the terms.”
