It's numbers Dude, if you can find another source for how much each candidate spent per vote I'd love to see it.

It's Beck, dude.

Is this supposed to be an "I gotcha Joad!" post?

Because if it is, you failed.

Although it only has data for Super Tuesday, it confirms that Trump gets about three times the bang for his campaign buck as Hillary. That's essentially the same ratio as the source I quoted gave.

The night's big winner was Donald Trump, and he continues to rake in victories on the cheap -- boosted by jaw-dropping amounts of free media. He spent about $2.1 million across the Super Tuesday states and racked up 2,923,184 votes, for a budget-conscious 72 cents per vote.

On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the winner, not only in the number of states and votes she won, but in cost per vote. She and her allies spent about $7.83 million across the Super Tuesday states, and she captured 3,534,665 votes. That's $2.16 per vote.

All you've proven is that the media loves a trainwreck, Joad.

Meanwhile the HRC campaign brought in $90 million in July while the 'Flaccid Cheeto' brought in only $35 million.

Great.

Since the data shows that Trump only needs 1/3 of the money per vote as Hillary, that means he's ahead.

To be fair, Bob.... When I googled there were many sources for this information and they were all different in their calculations. I just picked one out of many and posted it.

But, you are right.... The media loves a train wreck. Which explains why Trump gets so much media attention.

That's exactly what I did.

But I got a ration of shit for it because I don't enjoy "protected status" around here.

Yep, Trump is real good at getting Free Stuff.

He must be an Obama voter.
