Hillary Clinton set to make major advertising push in swing states

Hillary Clinton is set to storm the airwaves in a host of battlegrounds states as she looks to showcase a stark contrast between her vision for America and Donald Trump's.

Clinton purchased airtime beginning Thursday in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, according to a Democrat who tracks media buys.

Trump, who advertised little in the Republican primary, has yet to go on the air in swing states but has traveled to several, including North Carolina and Florida, in recent days.

Clinton's push in what are expected to be closely contested states five months before the election highlights her campaign's effort to define Trump early on in the race, a tactic that President Obama successfully leveraged against Mitt Romney in the 2012 election.

I loathe election season, always interrupting our shows with babbling heads and mis-information
