Jeb spent by far the most on advertising. Trump spends among the least. Equating the media's coverage of Trump with "advertising" is a specious attempt to save the "money buys elections" narrative that is being utterly discredited by these primaries.

I probably need to go get some numbers, but when one person's name is repeated over and over and over and their statements are repeated over and over, even if that has a negative connotation, it clearly puts that person in the spotlight.

If Trump had the same advertising as he could afford I dont think he would have been in the same position he is in now.
