Democrats to give Trump 'rude awakening' in summer onslaught
yahoo.com/news ^ | June 19, 2016

Posted on 06/19/2016 6:28:12 AM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Donald Trump's unconventional campaign is about to feel the heat of political organization.

Hillary Clinton and her Democratic allies have invested at least $41 million in commercials in crucial states such as Ohio, Florida and Nevada over the next six weeks, a series of summer broadsides against her Republican opponent. Those messages will be echoed by hundreds of Clinton workers in those same states and amplified by President Barack Obama and other top Democrats.

Trump has made few preparations for contending with that sort of well-oiled political machine. His campaign has no advertising plans and is just now hiring employees in important states. Republican leaders are far from in agreement on how best to talk to voters about the polarizing billionaire, or if they will at all. And Trump is running out of time: Early voting starts in Iowa in just 3 1/2 months.

"It's political malpractice," said Mitch Stewart, Obama's 2012 battleground states director and a Clinton backer. "He's in for a rude awakening. This isn't a national vote contest where you can be on cable news every day and dominate coverage. This is literally going state by state and coming up with a plan in each."

That's who will come out money ahead - bloodsucking consultants and campaign staffers. The election bureaucracy will make a TON of money.

I agree with each person’s response even thought some differ slightly the message is the same. I don’t know what’s changes from his offensive posture to reactive one but it has turned a slight bit. Election jitters

A third party nutball with NO “ground game” who was in the race...out of the race...and then back in the race, garnered 19% of the vote!
Perot didn't take anything that (read my lips, a thousand points of light, a new world order, Voo Doo economics) Bush didn't deserve...Bush? Clinton? Who could tell the difference? Bush sounded more like a liberal Democrat than Clinton.

He was elected to carry the Reagan torch but he was/is too stupid to know it.

Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen a political tv ad in years.

Team Trump better be on this. Negative ads work and Hillary already has an advantage in that her unfavorables are not as high as Trumps and Trump is much more hated in the eyes of the mushy middle voters.

If these attack ads go unanswered, this election will be over by September.

It's touching really......he is so concerned about political malpractice...he wants everything to be fair and square. /s>

Indeed, unless these ads run on Netflix, Hulu, etc. many will not ever see them.

Time for us and other Trump followers to donate his campaign to counter this bs. I did yesterday and will donate monthly until he wins in November.

Donald J. Trump For President

David,

Thank you for your generous donation. Your support matters now more than ever because the stakes are so high.

We must stop Crooked Hillary from ruining our country. We must thwart the slew of bias and lies the mainstream media is feeding America. We MUST win BIG in November and Make America Great Again! Your donation will help us accomplish this — and more.

Together, our voices are becoming louder and clearer, representing a bright new future for our great nation full of more opportunities for everyone, not just a select few.

We thank you for your continuous support,

Team TRUMP

Let Trump point out that he is out campaigning every day with vigor and Hillary has to rest up and when she does appear he is botoxed up and bloated

They are covering up something and what you will are a multitude of ads with an occasional glimpse of Hillary in person on the campaign trail

Surrogates galore but no Hillary

How many people, with more than two grey cells to rub together, actually pay attention to TV ads? Even the waste of trees sent via snail mail go directly into the burn pile here. Bless their hearts, at least all that money wasted, oops, I mean spent on advertising is keeping people working.

Trump: "I can win without support of GOP leaders"

He'll have to, won't he? Prince Prius and the lying RNC will be funneling party cash to Criminal Hitlery while standing by idly as Trump is savaged by lying ad spots.

Paid-off GOPe turning away from this election battle:

The DemoRATs are going to find out that it was all for naught this coming November. Ronald Reagan also had “no chance” of being elected and we all know how that turned out.

“The media works fully for the Democrats. This includes Facebook, Yahoo and Google “

Let’s not forget National Public Radio and their endless “fundraising.” You don’t even have to look at the channel ID, if it’s a bald, googliy-eyed a$$hole with a beard, or some woman that’s a Joan Baez look alike, it’s NPR!

The betting lines are Hillary in a landslide. You can earn 3x if you bet on Trump... the lines are holding for a few weeks.

However, social media/internet is all Trump. Very passionate base. If Trump loses, there will be s##tstorm to put it mildly. I get a feeling of an impending race war or civil unrest at the least.

” I’m sick of hearing a pro-HITLERY ad say they can see into Trump’s soul”

I agree completely with your post. I would also add the number of people that die every year in this country because of lack of lifesaving medical care and lifesaving prescription drugs; instead spending $20,000 per year on each refugee coming into this country. Even a modest look at the costs per refugee runs $40-50 grand.

A good example is those infected with Hep C. All the drugs that work cost $15 grand and up and are not covered by Medicaid or other insurance plans. For every refugee we take into our country, we could save the lives of 3-4 AMERICAN CITIZENS!

Instead our president and our elected officials are dooming our citizens over non-citizens.
