Trump’s Rise Without Traditional Campaign Spending

Donald Trump’s ability to remain the undisputed GOP frontrunner in December even though he has hardly spent any money on traditional television advertising that enriches consultants in the permanent political class is why he represents an “existential threat” to the established political order. In the newest CNN/ORC poll that was released Friday, Trump has a commanding 20-point lead, which reportedly marks “Trump’s highest support and widest lead since he first announced his candidacy.”

Trump and Cruz are a tag-team.

Rush was talking about this today. He is absolutely invincible to media attacks, and that is fundamentally changing the campaign. It didn’t work with Carson. So far, it hasn’t hurt Cruz.

wailing
gnashing of teeth
moaning
throwing of objects
cursing in Trump’s direction
depression
excuses
blame
claims of unfairness
those mean old Trump supporters

And I haven’t even gotten to the MSM/GOPe reaction yet.

People forget that he is a virtual reality star. Success defined in virtual reality terms is not to be loved, but to call attention to yourself.

Isn't this going to be great, when President Trump does the budget and all that wasteful spending is taken out, and these losers that think our government is their personal bank account...

He will cut spending down, provide more money for the Vets and Wounded Warriors, for jobs that Americans need so badly...and start the wall (that Mexico will pay for) and then start on the inter structure of our Country...

Yep, he's going to manage OUR money just like he does his own and that's why America is going to be more than a billionaire....

Why should Trump spend his money when the MSM are doing it for him?

His every utterance is up in lights within minutes.

This relationship between Trump and the media is worthy of a RICO investigation.

Every Trumpet has their own personal idea of what Trump is “going to do.”

He has out-foxed Santa Claus.

In that respect it sounds a bit similar to Obama’s supporters in 2008—they project their own desires onto the object of their support, even if he hasn’t made any specific pronouncements on their pet issues.

[LurkedLongEnough]

HRC funding for Trump not ruled out.

[Redleg Duke]

I love the sound of liberals snivelling!

[nopardons]

That's just NOT trued at all !

We like him because of what he says he'll do !

Unlike Obama, he doesn't hide his past and he doesn't spew crappy platitudes nor a catch phrase or two.

[nopardons]

HOGWASH !

[Forward the Light Brigade]

TRUMP is our only hope for the Nation. Cruz, Rubio, Bush III, Carlie, even Mittens—are all just helpers. For us in this time of oncoming war—Our only hope is Jesus!

[Chode]

when you have the RIGHT message, you don't need to sell it... something they simply can't grasp

[ripnbang]

Yep, he’s going to manage OUR money just like he does his own and that’s why America is going to be more than a billionaire....

I support him and believe he has been a huge breath of fresh air, however, Congress holds the purse strings. Yes, he will have veto power, but he will have to have Congress on board...we all know how addictive the air in the hall of Congress is and how it makes you spend other people’s money uncontrollably.

[Reeses]

He is absolutely invincible to media attacks, and that is fundamentally changing the campaign.

If Yeb were in Trump's position the urban media would have already declared Yeb the undisputed winner and moved on to the next phase: a 24/7 media love fest for Hillary.

[HarleyLady27]

That’s true about Congress, but if Trump doesn’t want to spend the money, he can stop it also....there are ways around it, and we all know how...

[ripnbang]

This relationship between Trump and the media is worthy of a RICO investigation.

Wrong...but very funny, nonetheless.
