Six years after a Supreme Court decision opened vast new channels for money to flow into national elections, Democrats have built the largest and best-coordinated apparatus of outside groups operating in the 2016 presidential campaign, defying expectations that conservative and corporate wealth would dominate the race.
A dozen different organizations raised over $200 million through the beginning of October and since May have spent more than $110 million on television, digital, and radio ads in support of Hillary Clinton, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission through Thursday.
The handful of organizations backing Donald J. Trump have raised less than half that amount, a steep dive from four years ago, when wealthy Republicans poured hundreds of millions of dollars into groups backing the Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
The Democrats’ success this year reflects, in part, Mrs. Clinton’s close personal ties to her party’s elite donors and her allies’ willingness to exploit the 2010 ruling in the Citizens United case far more aggressively than President Obama did.

Didn’t Jeb! Bush spend nearly $200 million this year? How’s he doing?
Hitlery. Full on Corrupt.
Screw the Jercough Times!
She raile against Citizens United but she takes the money. I dunno, but that sounds a little hypocritical or she might just be a liar.
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia? You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."
In spite of all that money, the bitch is still going to lose.
Trump will win, on time and under budget.
Election gambling heavily favored Brexit being defeated. There were a few polls that had Brexit slightly ahead but traditional polling had it clearly losing. There are a lot of parallels.
Outside money does not have a clue as to what is going on in this country. They are relying on the media for their news and it is slanted.
The Brits got “Brexit” and America can pray we get “Bitchexit”!
If Jaillary loses in 16 will they bring out the corpse for 20?
