Hillary Spent Nearly Twice As Much Per Vote As Trump… For Nothing

Donald Trump pulled off one of the biggest upsets in American political history last night and he was able to do it after spending nearly half of what the Clinton campaign spent.  According to Reuters, Hillary Clinton raised over $520 million for her campaign compared to only $270 million for Trump, much of which came out of his own pocket.  Given the current popular vote count those spending figures equate to roughly $8.80 per Hillary vote versus $4.57 for Trump.  Moreover, those spending figures don’t even factor in the money spent by the various Super PACs where Hillary likely outspent Trump by a hefty margin as well.

Relying heavily on an unorthodox mix of social media, unfiltered rhetoric, and a knack for winning free TV time, the New York real estate magnate likely paid less than $5 per vote during his insurgent White House bid, about half what Clinton paid, according to a Reuters analysis of campaign finance records and voting data. Those figures assume the candidates spent all the funds they raised.

Trump’s cost-effective win has upended prevailing concepts about the influence of money in American politics and raised the question of whether a lean, media-savvy campaign can become the new model for winning office in the United States
