The US woke up on Friday to the news that Donald Trump was a full 20 percentage points ahead of Ted Cruz, his nearest rival, for the Republican nomination, and a good 16 percentage points higher than America’s top political analysts thought he would be.
Running on a platform of “making America great againâ€, his campaign has been noteworthy for Trump’s egregious widespread insults and total fabrications, on a gargantuan scale. The most recent of which was him claiming to have seen “thousands of Muslims†dancing in the streets of New Jersey after 9/11. No evidence exists of this, because it never happened.
Almost as disturbing to the media as the fact that you can build a successful campaign on fantasy has been the lack of spent advertising dollars.
In fascinating figures released by NBC News, Donald Trump has so far spent a mere $21,7000 on broadcast advertising, compared to the eye-watering $28.9m spent by Jeb Bush, currently languishing at 3% of the poll compared with Trump’s 36%. Trump is allowing the evolved ecology of TV coverage and the new power of the social web do the work for him, live tweeting along the way....

Got that?
Talk about Trump exaggerations... how much, exactly, is twenty-one thousand and seven thousand?
When it is possible to remove all traces of a campaign claim which is completely untrue, and demonstrably so, by building verifiability into the algorithm, will social platforms and search engines go ahead and do it?
Translation: The Guardian wants search engines and "social platforms" to CENSOR content.
It is as blatant as that -- and The Guardian has no compunction about demanding it.
It’s the Grauniad. If you’re nor stupid before you read it you will be afterwards.
Shame they don’t do anything about Obama.
“. how much, exactly, is twenty-one thousand and seven thousand?”
It’s like glowbull warming. Made up nonsense straight from their behinds.
Voting for him.
Trump will be the next president by a landslide. Even my liberal friends won’t vote for Hillary.
recent of which was him claiming to have seen “thousands of Muslims†dancing in the streets of New Jersey after 9/11. No evidence exists of this, because it never happened.
Oh ok the muslim uprising in britian didnt happen either, what no guns to protect yourself?
I remember the days when the Communist Guardian was only part of the Loony left in England before the Internet.
“Donald Trump has so far spent a mere $21,7000 on broadcast advertising...”
She’s British, poor dear..pounds sterling and all that. They get a bit mixed up when they have to deal in REAL money! ;)
That’s what I see on my face book and twitter....GO TRUMP!!!
The liberals can relax about Trump for now, as there is not yet any real danger of him being elected president.
Trump is peaking.
Well, at least, Ben, you can write a cogent sentence better than the Guardian. I had to read that four times before I understood it.
Of course the Guardian is a left wing rag that hates anything American and is itself part of the reason England isn’t England Anymore. Compare the Guardian with the Telegraph.
well, no evidence except for thousand of eye witnesses and video footage.
Other than that, nothing.
Thank God America is awakening.
A lot of people are ringing the wakeup bell.
“She’s British, poor dear..pounds sterling and all that. They get a bit mixed up when they have to deal in REAL money! ;)”
Just wish there was a way to drop her a “note,” but The Guardian seems to hide any way to “make contact.”
“Just wish there was a way to drop her a “note,†but The Guardian seems to hide any way to “make contact.â€
I wonder why? ;)
I love how irate the left is that Trump isn’t wasting money.
Why spend it if you don’t have to?
