“I doubt very seriously that he’s lost ANY.”
Just like all most areas of Florida, the Tampa Bay newspaper ad local cable are just extensions of the DNC. Most people in FL live for the outdoors; boating, swimming, beaching, cycling etc. and they rely on the local cable for weather because it changes very fast almost every day. They have bee running this story for a week, on stop; free attack ads for Clinton.
Trump hasn’t spent a dime on ads here in the last 3 months. If you think they are not drawing off votes, think again!
My God, what does it take to get through to you people? I KNOW they aren't drawing off votes, because "ads" aren't what got him votes in the first place. At best, it is a democratic effort to "show the flag" for their loyalists.
Trump has co-opted the news cycle to win his support. (Sound familiar?) He's running on his enemy's dime. The press has finally figured that out, but now they are locked in a vicious circle. They have to lie to score against him, his supporters do the journalist's job of substantiating their claim, the supporters take to the internet to publish what the press tried to do, the narrative goes away because they don't want to talk about their own duplicity, this cycle further reinforces the general public's impression that the press is "out to get" Trump, thus making the next cycle that much less credible.
This is NOT 2012!!!
