Senior Dems Concerned That Clinton Is Spending Millions on Ads That Aren’t Working
Heatstreet ^ | 22 Jul 2016 | Emily Zanotti

Some Democrats are privately worrying that Hillary Clinton has been spending too much money and seeing too few results.

Clinton, who has way more cash on hand than Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has been outspending the New York real estate mogul at a rate of 15-1 but has seen her lead shrink to single digits in certain key states.

According to The Hill, senior Democrats met with Clinton in DC on Monday and mentioned a recent Florida poll that showed Trump pulling ahead in the Sunshine State. They questioned whether Clinton was really running her campaign effectively, having spent about $47 million in television ads.

Trump himself has spent next to nothing. A few SuperPACs and the NRA have run around $3 million in anti-Clinton ads, focusing only on her position on the Second Amendment.

The good news for Clinton is that the worrywarts were a minority, even among the professional strategists in the meeting, according to one source at the table. That source said the concern was largely voiced by “bed-wetters.”

But Clinton needs to start pulling ahead of Trump if she intends to sustain the lead all the way through November. Trump will likely get a polling boost from his convention speech, and while some Republicans are splitting off the party in protest, led by Ted Cruz, who is trying to make them feel better about their decision to abstain, Trump supporters are feeling stronger than ever.

At this rate, it is going to finally dawn on them, that she is a radioactive albatross, about three weeks after the DNC.

some percentage is finding it’s way into that
very same pocket.

And Trump’s ads haven’t really started. He’s saving them for October. I think they will be devastating.

I don’t think the 30 second TV spot is going to be nearly as important in this election as in years past. Still needed but social media posts will have more impact than in the past and cost a fraction as much to produce and distribute.

The problem isn’t the ads. The problem is her.

No matter how much you advertise,it’s hard to sell a defective product.

my local gas station just installed gas pumps with TV screens in them. I went there because all other gas stations in my area have TV screens in the pumps as well - and I HATE being bombarded constantly with propaganda, sexual pandering and advertisements.

IMHO - cliched, hackneyed political messages from statist, talking-head, lying politicians are just the froth on the top of a deep ocean of media nonsense that every American now swims in. No one cares any longer. We know and expect what we are going to hear, and we tune it all out.

That’s my explanation.

Clinton continually asking for $1 donations via email. So she can claim most of her donors were small? It appears to be a hoax.

I love how pundits love to talk about all of Trump’s free political advertising from the news networks, and are utterly silent on the free advertising for Bill Clinton’s unconstitutional 3rd term as president.

That said, having seen the effect of blanket advertising by Clinton in California and the little effect it had, I hope they double down on buying television ads across the nation.

By the way, how’s her brother in law doing with that drunk driving charge? Is the FBI going to declare him similarly incompetent to have acted criminally?
