RNC TV ad spending for Trump: $0The national party breaks with tradition of spending millions on ads supporting its nominees.
By KENNETH P. VOGEL and ALEX ISENSTADT 10/13/16 04:59 AM EDT
The Republican National Committee insists that its doing everything in its power to elect Donald Trump, but as Trump gets clobbered on the TV airwaves by his well-funded Democratic rival, the RNC has been conspicuously absent.
A POLITICO analysis of campaign finance records reveals that the committee has not spent anything on commercials boosting Trump since he emerged as the partys likely nominee.
Thats a stark departure from recent elections. In 2008 and 2012, the RNC spent tens of millions of dollars on so-called independent expenditures principally TV ads, but also direct mail and phone banks supporting its nominees or attacking their Democratic rivals.

do Donald in, I tell you! All Ryan's fault, part of that sinister deal we know Ryan's masterminding!
Crooked Hillary's behind it, too. And her husband. And Chelsea! And their dog, their cat, their goldfish, and the hoax-driven Chinese generally and that one 400-pound guy in particular.
They're all out to get poor Donald.
