About time?
It’s the right time.
It’s not really about time. It’s the right time.
What did hillary do except spend a fortune to be tied.
Trump gets more response with a tweet than hilLIARy gts with a million dollars of TV time.
He could run his whole campaign by webcam from his office.
In fact, it would be YUGE if he would do a “correct the media lies” webcast every night for 10 minutes
Why not take 10 million and do targeting mailing with specific message for the recipient demo and geography? Perhaps add in a thumb drive or dvd video.
Who writes these ridiculous headlines?
Here in PA today on TV, just saw a very good ad, paid for by Trump’s campaign (that is, not a PAC).
I just heard my first Gary Johnson ad - I’m in Kansas...no chance of Johnson winning here.
Have yet to see or hear a Trump ad. But we don’t swing here. There have been a few HRC ads on tv though.
To be honest, I have wondered about the effectiveness of buying lots of airtime before Labor Day. Most people aren’t paying any attention prior to that and are more interesting in summer vacation and this year, the Olympics.
It does not mean one should not buy any advert time but rather wait until September and October when people are paying attention. I think that Hillary may have spent her reserves early which is meaningless.
I have to agree with the consensus here in that any money spent before the end of summer is really a waste. Most people are out enjoying the weather, on vacation, of doing things other than watching a lot of TV. Political ads when TV is being watched are ignored anyway.
Most people don’t really pay attention until after Labor Day. Trump is smart. He’s going to win hugely.
Independents (and a lot of others) do not decide until a few weeks prior to the election.....
The time to start building a brand is just a week or two prior to the first debate and then a full court press till the election....
This is the difference between a politician who doesn’t care or understand proper allocation of funds and Trump...
I don’t know what RSBM is
Breathe. Voters aren’t even paying attention til after Labor Day
Trump has been extremely successful so far without spending a ton of money. He knows what he’s doing far more than us armchair quarterbacks and I trust his judgement more than any of the so called “EXPERTS” here or in the political arena.
When he spends his money it will be for maximum targeted effect to get a larger bang for his buck. In the meantime, Hillary is throwing money to the wind trying to stay within the polls margin of error so she doesn’t have to make her usual weak personal appearances.
Trump 2016, no more rinos.
I think he waited until vacation time is over and most kids are back in school. Smart man.
IMO the fact that Trump is not dumping lots of money into often wasted ads has really upset the financial apple cart of the major TV stations and may be just one of the many factors contributing to some of his bad press, albeit minor.
In the past presidential election cycles all the candidates spent a gazillion dollars on TV time just for ads. Not so this year, at least not for Trump. People are moving to alternate forms of communication. ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX have not adjusted.
I don’t think TV ads are very effective. Most people stream content commercial free or DVR their shows and FF past the commercials. Big waste of money in my opinion.
But for some reason, there are people out there caterwauling for them and rending their clothing over the fact that Trump is getting outspent on television ads.
So those clamoring for them will get their damn ads. Hope they are satisfied.
Lots of Clinton ads on TV in Southern California. Why?
I have a two pronged theory, first is it’s an indirect thumb in the eye of the media. They’ve been complaining about the lack of revenue but yet they still criticize him while cashing his checks. Can’t cash a check if he ain’t writing them.
Second theory is he’s doing a political “rope-a-dope,” with Hillary. Let her blow her money taking her best shots only for Trump to deliver the knockout before election day.
Like an earlier poster said, Trump is as effective with social media while Hillary burns thru millions.
