Trump leads in polls

[Hobbes]

Hillary and Sanders have raised 50 some million between them. No republican candidate comes even close if we leave trump out.
When it comes to getting the message out, the dims will walk all over the R's in ad sales.
When it's the uninformed voters that is the biggest block of voters, we get Hillary for prez.
The stupid Republican Party better wake up.
They are still locked on the theory that they have to pander to the independents just like in the last two elections they lost.
The R's better start pandering to the pissed off Americans that are sick and freeking tired of the beltway stupidity when it comes to elections. [emoji35]

I heard Rush Limbaugh say that too.

Have you looked at the Government report? All of the candidates have to report their contributions by law.

All of the news organizations have reported the same info. Even your bed mate MSNBC.

This is a very interesting article. There's a lot more in it, but it seems the GOP are trouncing the dims in spending to date. That could change, the article implies that the dims think "dark money" from PACs being spent the way it is might be illegal...

Political organizations working to influence the 2016 elections outside the party or official campaign structure had spent more than $25.1 million as of Sept. 21. That’s an increase of more than 34 percent over their counterparts at this point in the 2014 midterm elections - and a five-fold leap over their outlays by this date in the last presidential cycle, a Center for Responsive Politics review of Federal Election Commission data shows.​

If any type of group is in vogue, it’s the “single-candidate” committee, according to FEC data, and that means a boon for conservative groups in terms of sheer spending power. Of the 40 organizations that have spent the most so far in the 2016 cycle - a list that includes political nonprofits, super PACs and business associations - more than half are dedicated to one candidate and one race. The same is true of the top 20 biggest spenders, which includes 11 single-candidate groups.

Spending, yes, but not collecting. Hill, and Bernie are way ahead of the R's.

The BIG money is the DARK money. The Super-PAC money.
Jeb Bush collected more than $100M before he even announced.
