Compared to Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump looks like he's hardly even trying to win the battleground states. While Clinton has spent a whopping $43 million on ads across nine battleground states, Trump has dropped a mere $929,000 — a margin of 46-to-1, NBC News points out. The states included in the tally are Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.
