Right on time. Putting his money down when it will do the most good.
Good to see a guy who understands the marketing part of the political process instead of the shmoes we’ve been stuck with.
I guess California is not in play after all. I didn’t see it on the list.
About time.
Social media is the way to go and Trump has been doing fantastic with it.
But those here that have been caterwauling for TV ads, well, I hope they are happy. They have their damn TV ads. But in my opinion, they aren't worth a plugged nickel.
Throw some money for ads here in Illinois. Last night I saw Clinton ads for the first time here on two cable channels.
If Trump is truly only down 6 here in Illinois, I hope he makes an effort to steal the state away from the Dems.
this is making its way around facebook...it is entitled Clinton vs Clinton and is an ad that should be run the final month in every battleground state....i cannot find any other link to this video other than facebook- its devastating!!!

Here he goes..perfect timing...more and more people paying attention. Meanwhile Clinton just blew millions of dollars for nothing.
I doubt this is his full budget. He will run these and evaluate and use the experience on these to run more.
Good timing and location selection. I approve.
Unless he truly creates a ad for the ages or he reveals something really shockig i doubt it will change anyone’s minds.
Although, i remember reading somewhere that if you think advertising doesn’t work than why is Moxie no longer a household name?
Better late than never. Hillary has dominated the adds for too long.
Clinton took a gamble that by spending a lot early, she could trounce Trump before he even got out of the gate.
That strategy worked in 2012 for Obama vs. Romney. Why not repeat it?
One big reason. In 2012, Obama was the celebrity who got all the free advertising. This time around Trump is the celebrity who got the free advertising - admittedly some of it was not favorable, but much was and so he was willing to take the bad with the good. The bad media that he couldn’t control came in the summer when no one was paying attention. He held back the money so he could set the narrative at a time when people WERE paying attention.
Meanwhile, Clinton blew through money like a drunken sailor. Her donors are tapped out and with her victory uncertain and questions about her health, they’re going to be reluctant to cough up more. She is no help to down ticket candidates and party money will have to go toward propping her up rather than aiding in the close down ticket races.
If Trump does indeed win, which he has a good shot to do, the whole history of political campaigning will have been rewritten. It may be a long time before a long time political insider heads a national ticket again and that would be a huge improvement for the body politic.
Why none for Colorado and Virginia
I wonder why virginia was not on that list.
Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes, as the saying goes.
“Trump is adding Wisconsin, New Mexico and Maine to the existing 10 states where Trump ads are running. The campaign started with four battleground states and has gradually expanded as polls have tightened. The states where Trump ads will run will include Florida, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. “
