Does Trump plan to run his entire campaign ads on social media only? Can’t see that being a winning strategy in a national election.

No, he visits several cities a day, and the press report on everything he says there. He runs ads in battleground states where they are needed. He is running an extremely lean and intelligent campaign.

Trump could run his whole campaign from his home office with a webserver and Skype and a webcam

He could just announce he will hold a 15 minute nightly session to set the media lies straight

Even if he is at a live rally, just stream it from there

I bet he would get more viewers than all media outlets combined

Part of it is why give your enemy - the media - money...change the paradigm. Starve the beast. Ads are far less effective than they used to be...people are quite immune to them, and in most cases they are muted if not skipped altogether.

Trust me, he knows what he's doing. Thus far, his strategy has worked against 16 other opponents, the media, the DNC and the GOP establishment. The last thing we need to be doing now is clutching pearls over his ad placement.

Given he's basically tied in the polls - I think the social media strategy works.

I see the MSM really panicking for three reasons:

1. They are all staunch Hillary! supporters, and with TRUMP pulling even or ahead, they're freaking out!

2. They want to maintain their position as kingmakers. In the past, a successful politician had to go through the media, and at least work with them, if not outright support them. That's power - the power to annoint!

3. They see their golden goose being cooked. The MSM used to be able to count on literally billions in revenue spent by politicians. TRUMP is cutting them off, by taking it viral and social. He's spending less than $100 million total; they'll end up having around $1 billion LESS in revenue because of the way he's running his campaign.

The MSM will do everything they can to destroy TRUMP because of these issues. And I'd say he's going to win anyway, and the MSM will never fully recover...
