Would it surprise you if I said that ol' Donny Trump ran the leanest campaign since 2000? He only spent about $350,000,000 of the money he raised himself. Mostly by hosting events on properties he owned, using his own jets, cars, and buses, and basking in the hundreds of millions of free advertising the 24 hour news cycle gave him.
The Obama campaign in 2008 spent almost a billion by itself, and the DNC chipped in another third of a billion.
