I thought PA was in play. I see no ads.
Not needed in states where the state is not a battleground state, a state that is guaranteed to vote Republican, or states that are guaranteed to vote Democrat. Total waste of resources.
For example, Mississippi, went for McCain in 2008, and Romney in 2012. California last went for a Republican in 1988 for George H. W, Bush rather, so it is pretty much assured to go Clinton.
Why throw money at sure things? Donald knows what he is doing, trust me.
What area of PA are you in? Check my posts — here in Philly suburbs, we are definitely seeing pro-Trump ads
Trump needs to let go of some of his bucks and blanket the airwaves with hard hitting ads. I don’t want to be sitting around on Nov 9th saying “woulda, coulda, shoulda” while the beast gloats.
Good. I doubt we can win WI, but it is pretty to think so.
As I said, I disagree.
Well I can tell you that I see at least 10 to 15 Hillary ads in my location in NC for every Trump or Trump related PAC ad. Her ads are well produced and targeted. Trump’s people are dropping the ball here. Ads do have an impact.
Lots for Toomey and his opponent coming out of Philly, about even - lots and lots for Hillary, every now and then one for Trump - too inconsistent - needs to hit her hard and continually - her themes keep changing - he’s got to get few strong themes going against her to help override his iffy debate performance....
Not many Trump ads here in Raleigh, NC. Plenty of Hillary ads. Disagree about ads being worthless, I hear numerous people discuss the Hillary ads. It would be good to see Trump counter some of her lies. Not as many people over 40 are as Internet interested as those of us here on FR. Most people do watch TV however.
PA is not as winnable as IA, NV, OH, FL, etc.
Trump team must be focused on winnable => 272.
“And what Ads are all of you seeing?”’
seeing tons of the “Hillary: ‘Why am I not ahead by 50 points you may ask?” Trump ads here in Colorado.
I don’t watch TV and my state is safely Trump’s, but I’ve heard about the ad buys.
The problem is that most of the networks are extremely, insanely liberal, and many of them probably (and illegally) refused to sell air time, or sold it at a huge markup.
” sold It at a huge markup.”
Yup
It’s not easy when the networks probably refuse to sell you air time or sell it at a hugely inflated cost. Which is part of what I suspect.
But I could be wrong.
“How else do you explain a corrupt, lying, nasty, shrill bitch with NO accomplishments (except negative ones)”
Okay, don’t you see you are being just as silly as the people who just say Trump is nothing but a showman.... Hillary has her faults, and many many of them, but to completely dismiss her as a nothing, is silly. May disagree with her on policy, and her world view, and this and that, but she’s hardly the empty suit that was Obama in 2008... who coasted to the White House.
Hillary has been part of the political universe in some manor or another for most of her adult life... She has had failures, but she has also been involved in successes... though they may be successes we don’t like... like helping and keeping her husband in office etc.
I do think she’s got no shot at winning and never did, I’ve said it for a long time I think she’s got a functional max of 42/43% of the vote, that’s it.. no matter what she does she likely won’t get above that... And because of that, Trump should clean her clock quite easily.
Time will tell what is going to happen, but to completely dismiss Hillary at all levels is just as naive as those who wrote of Trump last year as nothing but a side show.
Clinton’s sole accomplishment as a Senator was to rename a Post Office.
I live in Louisiana and haven’t seen any Trump ads. But I have seen a lot of Hillary ads. I’ve heard that La. is Trump country, so that may be why he’s not running ads in this state, at least not in my part of the state.
Trump SHOULD be 10 points ahead of her
Sigh... Look, Being a good foot soldier is great, but if you think Bill Clinton got where he got without Hillary’s involvement you are frankly Naive. Hillary and Bill have been a team since the day they hitched their wagons together way back in Arkansas.
She was involved, actively in many ways, with his career throughout it. I am not calling Hillary the greatest politician on the planet, she is not.. she is a horribly flawed individual, with no natural retail politicking ability, but to dismiss her as nothing more than a passive little seat filler is beyond naive and foolish IMHO.
But getting back to the topic of the thread, I am in PA, and don’t see Trump ads on at a 1 to 1 with Hillary ads... but certainly seeing them on the TV... they “why aren’t I 50 points ahead” ad just aired a few minutes ago.
The ‘why isn’t Trump 50 points behind Hillary’ shrieking ad only moments ago played on Sunday Night Football, Kansas City Chiefs v. Pittsburgh Steelers. :)
