Trump Launches Ad Blitz in Optimistic Blue State Pitch
ABC News ^

Posted on 11/01/2016 7:46:21 PM PDT by TigerClaws

The Trump campaign appears to be riding high and operating optimistically headed into the final week of the presidential campaign.

The clearest sign of that comes in the form of a $25 million ad buy that includes new spots in Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Mexico, all of which are classified as leaning Democratic in the current ABC News state ratings.

The only of those three states that has recent reputable polling is Pennsylvania, the latest of which has Clinton leading by six points in the Oct. 16 Quinnipiac survey. Michigan hasn't voted Republican since 1988 and New Mexico has only voted Republican once since that same year.

A Split on Popular and Electoral College Vote Not Out of the Question

The campaign sent out a release saying that the significant ad buy comes as "an open acknowledgment that the campaign is surging in traditionally blue states as well as traditional battleground states."

All told, the buy will foot the bill for ads in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nevada and New Hampshire as well.

It comes after today's ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll has Trump earning 46 percent support nationally to Clinton's 45 percent, a difference within the margin of error.

They don’t say their polls lie.

Then again, Trump is taking the charge into Hillary’s firewall states.

Hard. No wonder ABC is miffed.

Hilarious to watch them scrambling to downplay the significance of their own poll.

His campaign manager Kelly is a smart woman. She’s not throwing money away. TRUMP’S not throwing money away.

Their internals must show it close.

I saw a hillary ad in NY today. First one

Last bout of shilling for Hillary includes trotting out the absurd claim Trump might win the popular vote but Hillary will come out on top in the Electoral College vote.

Desperation is spreading in the MSM. Too funny to watch.

I saw a poll the other day which had Trump ahead in Pennsylvania by one-tenth of a per cent.

Wisconsin has been PLASTERED today - Wall to Wall - with Hillary! anti-Trump ads.

She says NOTHING about what she will do for America - it’s all about the smear.

Disgusting!

They found an ACTOR willing to sell her soul to, ‘say’ that she’s crossing over from the Republican Camp to vote for Hillary because she can’t BEAR the thought of her children (the ones she HASN’T aborted!) living in a world where Trump is President!

They’re actually running ads that were already IN THE CAN and READY TO GO in the event of Hillary being behind in BLUE STATES!

Who is running her campaign?

Oh, that’s right - they’re either being FIRED, have been FIRED or they’re DEAD!

Clinton Campaign Re-Starts Advertising in Blue States

Hillary Clinton's campaign is back on the air with TV advertising in Virginia and Colorado, and has begun running ads in New Mexico and Michigan -- all states that have seemed safely out of play for most of the election cycle.

Several folks did the math back when and said that a popular vote win by 1% (I think that is right) or more and that guarantees an electoral vote win. Because NY and CA are so lopsided, it could be even less for a Republican.

Trump is outstripping the conventional voter fraud at this point and growing. I do worry about the GEM software though. So we need to pour it on and fight the fraud.
