Whither Trump TV Ads?
vanity | October 2, 2016 | Mr. Chips

Posted on 10/02/2016 4:50:32 PM PDT by MrChips

OK, so yes, I fully understand that some of you think TV Ad spending a waste of time. No need to tell me again. I disagree. True, people's eyes glaze over whenever they see yet another Hillary Ad (or they reach for Pepto Bismol). But, the Trump ads I have seen are inspiring, and the Ads he has run about Hillary are funny. Trouble is, I have seen very few. I read on here today that Trump has just taken out a $140,000,000 Ad buy. Can anyone substantiate that? And what Ads are all of you seeing? (I am in Georgia, not likely to be bombarded with Trump Ads).

JUST saw one here in. . .

SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA

on NBC during the NFL football game.

I do not watch the PC NFL, but someone else in the house does. . .

regardless! I guess it was a national ad? But airing in SAN FRANCISCO, baby.

Some people have said... California is in play. Trump wouldn’t spend ad dollars here without reason.

The fact Clinton got elected in 92 and re-elected in 96 and his return to the governorship in AK are all things HIllary was VERY much part of... Him surviving Impeachment as well, she was actively part of. I am not here to defend Clinton, She’s a horribly flawed candidate, with no retail politicking ability, not likable in the least and who has no issue benefiting personally from her positions within the government.

While I don’t agree with her policy wise on nearly anything, I think its naive to say she’s not accomplished anything. Her accomplishments are not things I generally agree with, and many have been disasters, not the least of which because she just can’t help but lying to save her life, even when there is no real reason to lie.... I think she will indeed lose to Trump by a good margin.... however, with all that said, I don’t write her off as a done nothing... Barry was a done nothing... NO doubt the press is on her side and protect her... she has a lot of failures around her, and Trump has pounded her and should... but to just say she’s done nothing at all in her 40 years being part of the political elite is a bit naive... don’t have to like the things she’s done, but not everything she’s done has been a failure.

GO Trump!

If California is in play it’s over but I don’t want to see a ‘Win’, I want to see a crushing categorical blowout.

(or they reach for Pepto Bismol)

I reach for the mute button to avoid the need for Pepto Bismol.

I had expected Trump to be doing better in NY.. and if things break and it becomes crazy landslide his numbers could change quickly, but he’s remained about 20 down there in nearly all polling to this point.

PA on the other had needs to not be ignored, along with MI and WI... I expect Trump to take all these...

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/pa/pennsylvania_trump_vs_clinton-5633.html

I believe any state Clinton isn’t up by 5 she is going to lose, we will see if I am right.. but unless things majorly start breaking, big for Trump.. I think NY is out... but if it breaks big, you get the pile on, which is folks will vote because they want to vote for the winner and the otherside knowing they are going to lose gets dejected and turnout is low.... winding up with big surprises.

Time will tell.. just over a month left.

You nailed it in that post. She's spewing lies about herself and about him... And they are going unanswered. Trump draws 15,000 at rallies, and their are awesome, but how many incremental votes does that get him? Very few.. ads each the undecided, and help correct the record!

What did we learn from 8 years of Bush, who never fought back? The shrill and disgusting attacks were never answered. After repeated attacks, without a retort, the lies were cemented as truth, destroying the GOP, and by extension, tarnishing the conservative brand among vast millions of people...

If Trump refuses ads, the media blisters him, he has a forum of 86 million for 90 minutes and goes soft--- is called a racist, crook, thief, misogynist, crook, racist again, out of touch, and other nasty stuff, l and doesn't counter any of it (she was attacking all of us, not just him), how will he get his message out? Why are Chelsea's feelings more important than the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans who will be devastated by a Hillary Presidency? Where is his sense of urgency??? Romney used his vast resources to bury his competitors, them this disgusting hack let Obama beat him to a pulp. Trump needs to give it all he has... that includes a massive ad blitz... NOW!!!

yes, Bush did not fight back... or often, he didn’t even answer false charges

very very disappointing..... and did harm we still live with today

anyways, we agree.. Mr Trump needs to unleash a MAJOR advertising and ontheground campaign
...he’s great with his rallies but he needs to reach the other 98 percent of the voters, too

As I’ve said on other posts... any other candidate would be 10 points behind. Trump is the only one that can stand toe to toe and be competitive. I just hope he uses all of the tools at his disposal.... ads and directly confront her on her lies and her issues at the debate-— no more Mr. Nice Guy

OK...so Hillary’s only accomplishments are winning elections. For Bill twice as POTUS and as gov of Arkansas, and herself as senator from NY.

Please list 2 major accomplishments besides winning elections.

I only mentioned her accomplishment in re the Post Office to illustrate her incompetence, not her obvious connections.

I’m in MS and have only seen one of his ads and two of the Beast’s ads. MS will go Trump easily so a dearth of ads here is expected.

We see ads for Trump all the time here in Jacksonville, Florida. I expect as we get closer to Nov 8th we will see more and more of them. I also hear a lot of ads for Trump on talk radio stations.

Trump & his campaign know what they are doing & he is going to be our next president. Be happy this will be so, k?

Vote Trump 2016

“If Trump refuses ads...”

Trump isn’t doing any such thing. His campaign purchased a 140 MILLION dollar ad by just a couple of weeks ago. He & his campaign are WINNING right now. They know what they are doing. Get out the vote and be HAPPY we finally have a nominee who loves the country & is actually FIGHTING Cankles & the MSM in order to win.

Vote Trump 2016

I live in the Tampa viewing area, where we are bombarded with Hillary ads. I am happy to report that I saw at least 3 Trump ads Saturday night on ABC during the Louisville/Clemson football game. They were all the same ad - the one with Hillary saying “why am I not 50 points ahead”. At least one Trump ad was followed immediately with a Hillary ad.

“Trump needs to let go of some of his bucks and blanket the airwaves with hard hitting ads.”

Trump is doing this. Unlike our previous nominees he actually wants to win.

Vote Trump 2016
