No reason to waste money in August.
No one has done a thing to Trump's image.
What State did Emmer win his nomination in?
Romney was even in the polls after the first debate. Vote fraud may have also helped Bahama.
Yup.
IMO the fact that Trump is not dumping lots of money into often wasted ads has really upset the financial apple cart of the major TV stations and may be just one of the many factors contributing to some of his bad press, albeit minor.
In the past presidential election cycles all the candidates spent a gazillion dollars on TV time just for ads. Not so this year, at least not for Trump. People are moving to alternate forms of communication. ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX have not adjusted.
I don’t think TV ads are very effective. Most people stream content commercial free or DVR their shows and FF past the commercials. Big waste of money in my opinion.
But for some reason, there are people out there caterwauling for them and rending their clothing over the fact that Trump is getting outspent on television ads.
So those clamoring for them will get their damn ads. Hope they are satisfied.
Sorry, my bad.
It was Minnesota.
Emmer is now a member of Congress represeting our 6th District.
He’d have been better as Governor - but all in all, he got good consolation prize of sorts.
Lots of Clinton ads on TV in Southern California. Why?
You can spent 100’s millions on ads but all it takes is one crooked moderator to take down a Presidential nominee, like Romney and Obama on the terror word and Crawley. Romney was speechless after the help from Crawley. Romney had been kicking Obama’s butt up until then. It all turned in one night.
Trump better have his game on with Hillary at every debate. I guarantee you- Hillary will have the questions before hand but not Trump.
I have a two pronged theory, first is it’s an indirect thumb in the eye of the media. They’ve been complaining about the lack of revenue but yet they still criticize him while cashing his checks. Can’t cash a check if he ain’t writing them.
Second theory is he’s doing a political “rope-a-dope,” with Hillary. Let her blow her money taking her best shots only for Trump to deliver the knockout before election day.
Like an earlier poster said, Trump is as effective with social media while Hillary burns thru millions.
Because in Southern California, “You don’t need papers”...?
I remember reading about Hillary’s big ad buy during the Olympics broadcast. MSM saying what a brilliant move it was, yadda yadda yadda.
Except... the ratings for the Olympic broadcasts were the lowest they’ve been in YEARS. Now who’s running a smart campaign?
