Clinton is outspending Sanders by a factor of 3

[berni_mccoy]

That's pretty amazing that she's spending 3 times the amount Sanders is. She's spent more than he's actually raised. And they haven't even gotten to the TV Ads yet...

From OpenSecrets.org:

1. She's on her way to be very broke

with Biden coming in, she needs to unleash a bunch of attack ads aimed in stomping him down.

She cannot sustain a two-prong attack which will double her spending rate.

Welcome to DU!

2. It is amazing what Bernie has raised given he takes no pac money.

But what is more amazing is how much ONE family of terrorists, uh I mean cons, will spend on the GOP candidate.

3. She will spend into a huge hole again, and Bernie with his volunteers will still win!

13. I had to re-read the original post with the original edit to get the gist of what you said.

4. Actual Numbers Say 3-to-1 n/t

11. You're correct. I meant 3 times as much.

5. Nice

I can't wait for the TV ads.

6. My guess is part of the deal Senator Sanders made with the DNC is that the money goes to them.

When he drops out or is defeated by Hillary.

12. My guess is that Bernie is responsible with the peoples money

While Hillary spends it like it just doesn't matter.

Who has the winning strategy? Well, Bernie has the crowds. We'll know a lot more come March.

14. My guess is that Sanders will ask his supporers to help pay down Hillary's campaign debt..

like Obama did in 2008. You're welcome.

8. Yep. Big-spender Hillary Clinton campaign has burned through nearly 90% of money raised

Boston (CNN) Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign spent 90% of the money it raised over the last three months, campaign aides said Thursday, a staggeringly high figure for a political organization that has prided itself on being thrifty.

Aides announced Wednesday night that Clinton's campaign raised $28 million from July through September, the most a non-incumbent campaign has raised in the third quarter of a non-election year. But on Thursday morning, a Clinton spokesman tweeted that the campaign currently has $32 million in the bank, meaning it spent nearly 90% of what it brought in.

Full speed ahead.

18. She's running against the Republicans, not Sanders.

She won't have to run against Biden, either, even if he enters the race.
