By comparison, the Democratic presidential nominee spent about US$38m.

Mook went on to accuse Trump of “parroting” Russian President Vladimir Putin in public comments, and further accused retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who has supported Trump, of being in league with Putin because of his appearances on RT. Earlier in the day, campaign chairman Paul Manafort resigned, and on Wednesday, Trump announced a new campaign manager and CEO.
Using data from the National Journal’s indispensable candidate travel tracker and current polling data from RealClearPolitics, we plotted out where Trump and Clinton (and their vice presidential picks) had traveled for non-fundraising campaign stops since July 1.
Conway, whose background is as a pollster, said the campaign wants to get away from a focus on Trump’s personality and onto the Obama administration’s record, and Clinton as a continuation of what it describes as unpopular policies such as the Obama’s health care law.
“I do and the reason is I don’t like when people hurl personal insults”, she said.
It’s unclear what exactly Donald Trump wants to do when it comes to the 11 million immigrants illegally living in the United States.

There are “a lot of questions” regarding Trump’s ties, Mook added.
Clinton has been off the campaign trail for several days, concentrating her efforts on major fundraising events, meeting wealthy donors in Martha’s Vineyard, a summer playground along the Atlantic Ocean in the northeastern state of MA.
Yet the campaign’s payroll remained thin, and there did not appear to be much new in the way of office leases across the country, including in OH and other crucial states.
Meanwhile, the New York Times said its investigation had shown that the $650m of debt among Trump companies was twice the figure in public filings made as part of his White House bid. The Clinton campaign has $58.5 million cash on hand.
But while the apparent realization that Trump’s strong numbers among white male voters will not be enough to win in November is important, numbers alone can’t create a winning message – and Conway’s guidance may not be enough to save the campaign from its own tone deafness. And there are real questions being raised about whether Donald Trump himself is just a puppet for the Kremlin in this race?
The difference is subtle, but this week aside, Trump has been hitting up swing states about as much as Clinton.

“The result for them will be unbelievable”, he said.
