My information must be old then.
Another thing to consider is the relative efficiency in Trump's campaign versus Hillary's. While the spread isn't nearly as phenomenal as that between Trump and Jeb in the primary, assuming that the primary numbers are representative, Trump drew in a larger number of votes spending less than half the money per vote on advertising that Hillary spent, and that does not account for other savings like having much less overhead in internal campaign spending. In the same period of time, Hillary brought in over $60M, but if she holds to the pattern, she would need double that to maintain her 5/2 spending ratio with Trump.
