So why would a fighter like Trump pull out of Iowa and Ohio? Think about it. It’s only because he is WINNING BIGLY!
The media is pretending this is because Trump is losing.
President Trump went on with Sean Hannity last night. President Trump spoke out about their internal polling in Iowa and Ohio.
President Trump: But I’m looking at polls. We’re doing great in Iowa. We’re doing great in Ohio. We’re doing great in many, many places. Then you come home and turn on the television and you see gee, I’m four down. I can’t believe it. But they’re fake polls.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Samantha Zager added, “President Trump and his campaign are extremely confident about our chances in these states. We have been talking directly with voters for years via multiple avenues about the success of President Trump’s America First agenda. Unlike Joe Biden, campaign ads aren’t the only way we know how to campaign.”
Can someone explain how pulling ads is a good thing? The only thing I can think of is that it saves money in places where the lead is secure (or hopelessly lost) to spend it where the campaign needs it.
What great subtle dig at Biden! “Adds aren’t the only way we know how to campaign.”
Praying for the first.
Put the money into CA and NY. Make the Dems freak.
“Can someone explain how pulling ads is a good thing?”
Are you intentionally being obtuse? You don’t spend limited resources in areas that are solidly in you column.....You spend resources in areas that could potentially go either way
I heard that he wasn’t pulling ads out of Iowa and Ohio, but rather cutting back on them in those states.
Honestly, if he felt Ohio and Iowa are hopelessly lost, he’s looking at being on the business end of a 400 electoral vote landslide. There would be almost no point in campaigning at all except for possibly saving some Republican Senate and House seats. And given how the Republicans in the House and Senate have treated him, I doubt he’d be raring to get back on the campaign trail like he is doing.
there’s two primary ways to read this: either he’s comfortably ahead in both states so he can pull back (not pull out) and put resources in other states, or he has absolutely no chance of getting re-elected and he knows it.
Given that my beliefs won’t change the outcome, I choose to believe the former. It actually makes more sense in the context of the Democrats still scrambling and continuing to begave as if they are losing.
Wait and see.
“So why would a fighter like Trump pull out of Iowa and Ohio? Think about it. It’s only because he is WINNING BIGLY!”
It’s the only way to explain pulling the adds. Trump has this thing locked up. Good to see that there is objective media that understands the situation.
Trump isn't going to win without Ohio and Iowa. If he is losing or it is close there, there is no way he would pull out his money.
Trump most like has a sizable lead in those two states.
Maybe it’s because he’s losing bigly......
This is good news. Our modeling of OH voters, AFTER allocating all “unaffiliated/indie” voters based on previous 20 year voting history, is that Rs in OH have a 300,000 NET advantage.
This translates to a 10 point Trump win.
Rs also have a net advantage in IA.
No ads are needed anymore. These are safe states. Put the money in the early voting states of FL, NC, MI.
“He’s either very comfortable with where he is in those two states or he knows they are lost and is shifting to other areas”.
Sorry, but that is a silly statement. If Trump “knows” these particular states are lost he “knows” the election is lost and would NOT be shifting money into tightly competitive areas.
he won ohio by nine.......hes probably up 12-15
Glad to hear! Thanks for the quick reply!
Haven’t been in Iowa lately but it’s about the same politically as central Illinois where I was last week and there were nothing but Trump-Pence signs to be seen! I might have spotted a couple of Bidin-Hitch signs in the towns but in the rural areas, it’s virtually 100% Trump. And not many will try to steal a Trump sign from a farm where guns and loose dogs are very likely to be encountered.
The democrap party in my small city has been very active in getting the Biteme-Harras signs out, enough to cause me to check and in 2016 the country went 56% for Trump, 40% Cankles. Driving along some streets you’d think the Dems were a million points ahead, but I’ve noticed a couple of Trump signs disappeared and I’m sure it’s not because the owners took them down.
When I see a Biden sign at a house I just log away the information under the “An Idiot Lives There” file.
It’s not possible that OH or IA are lost. He won them easily last time. They could be too close to call, but they probably wouldn’t pull out of them if that was the case.
I’m with you!
Agreed!
But but but the poular vote... he’s 80 or 90 points behind....panic....
