Clinton’s campaign entered August with $58 million in the bank so the lack of advertising reservations implies she is waiting for voters to fully digest the conventions and for polling in swing states to stabilize before deciding where to allocate resources during the campaign’s final 10 weeks, Bloomberg reported.

The surveys came in the wake of last week’s Democratic National Convention, which appeared to give Clinton a 5- to 7-percentage-point boost, a normal occurrence after a party convention.
Other Republican stalwarts, while stopping short of endorsing Clinton, are shunning Trump or the party itself. “There’s a conflict within the Trump campaign”, he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
Clinton had always planned to speak to a broader audience during the general election campaign, a standard move for presidential candidates after their party conventions. It’s never been so well-united.
The top GOP leaders in the U.S. House and Senate have so far maintained their support of Trump as he seeks to recover from a public fight with the parents of a slain American soldier and several other recent dust ups.
“I am pointing the finger directly at people like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and John McCain and John Kasich and Ted Cruz if he won’t endorse – and Jeb Bush and everybody else”, Hannity told his radio show. John McCain of Arizona in their GOP primaries.

Brent Scowcroft, respected national security advisor to two Republican presidents, endorsed Clinton, as did former Republican senator Larry Pressler of South Dakota, who cited Clinton’s support for stricter gun laws.
“I think there’s a lot of people talking about who they would get together. He just prefers to fire at himself than Hillary Clinton”, Rothenberg said. “We’re going to focus more on Hillary Clinton”.
The ad is running in nine battleground states. “They’re not sending you; they’re not sending you”, he said. Support from Whitman, a billionaire who once ran for governor of California on the Republican ticket, is a big deal because with it comes a substantial donor network she has previously leveraged on behalf of candidates like Christie. He even added that he was “absolutely prepared to tell those countries, ‘Congratulations, you will be defending yourself.'” He directed the same bombastic message to Japan and South Korea, where thousands of American military have honorably served for decades to foster peace. But veteran political analyst Gerald Seib of The Wall Street Journal also sees a growing concern about the temperament of the candidates.
So on the one hand Ryan is affirming Trump as the nominee and he’s shrugging off Trump’s non-endorsement. So where does this balance out? “It was just a very encouraging experience for so many of us to be on the same page”.
