The Clinton campaign isn't advertising in the upcoming primary states, per NBC's ad-tracking data

1. Maybe she's broke

[Brother Buzz]

2. That, or her camp knows Joe Six-Pack is generally turned off by TV ads

4. she's actually reserved the majority of her money raised for the general election

...while Sanders has been spending his supporters' contributions almost as fast as he's raising it.

Looking at these figures, I'd be asking, loudly, where the majority of those funds are being spent....oh, yeah...

AlGiordano @AlGiordano
TV ads, the commissions for them, overpaid consultants and top ten paid (male) staffers + a jet to Rome.

5. She must be seeing a drop in contributions

Which could get worse if she is our canidate

6. wow

...is that like some kind of Jedi mind trick?

I'm pretty thick, so it's not working on me.

3. Yup she's saving it for the General

Hillary is running against Trump now.

Bernie whats-his-name is done.

7. Hubris

8. Bernie has outspent her by astounding margins with a poor return

in countless states before. It's better that she saves as much as possible for the general. It's wise and responsible management of resources.

As of now, 538 puts her chances of winning CA at 88%. Which she does not even need to do. But she will.

9. she's been doing that since early on

... more money has been spent against her in this race by republican and Democratic sources than she's spent on any of the rivals.

___an unusual alignment of strategies by different outside groups, including Republican ones eager to bloody Mrs. Clinton and lift Mr. Sanders, whom conservatives believe will be easier to defeat in a general election. While the nurses’ super PAC is the biggest left-leaning outside spender in the Democratic primary, conservative organizations have also spent at least $4.3 million attacking Mrs. Clinton in recent months.

One recent online ad from the Republican super PAC American Crossroads has assailed Mrs. Clinton for her Wall Street speaking fees — echoing an argument Mr. Sanders often makes against her...

In fact, more super PAC money has been spent so far in express support of Mr. Sanders than for either of his Democratic rivals, including Hillary Clinton, according to Federal Election Commission records.
