Donald Trump's lack of advertising and organization in swing states is allowing Hillary Clinton's campaign to control the message, say GOP strategists.

All the while, Clinton’s massive organization continues to trudge along relatively unimpeded while racking up significant leads across the election’s most important states. 

“Trump has been living on earned media, now he’s dying on earned media,” said John Feehery, a former House Republican leadership spokesman.
