Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Is in Serious Trouble and May Never Recover
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 22,2016 | Joe Hoft

She Blew Through $75m in Advertising and Went Down in the Polls

Clinton spent $257m on her campaign to Trump’s $87m so far this election cycle. In June it was reported that Clinton spent $23m on ads in swing states to Trump’s $0. By mid-August Clinton had spent more than $75 million on advertising in 10 swing states to Trump’s $0. Trump has since invested $5 million in swing state advertising.

Clinton’s campaign ads are not working. In spite of spending millions in negative advertising against Trump in highly competitive states like Pennsylvania, Hillary is falling behind in the polls. The fact that biased media attacks and negative advertising don’t seem to impact the race and only help Trump puts Clinton in a quandary. These were her only tools to beat Trump in the election. Now she seemingly has nothing.

She’s Behind in the Polls

After months of liberal media bashing the Trump Campaign has taken a 2% lead in the polls. The media blitz against Trump has not only failed but there are signs that it is beginning to move in Trump’s favor. The more the media bashes Trump, the more Trump gains in the polls. Average Americans are beginning to see how biased media operates.

From this point forward the media campaign to bash Trump will likely hurt Clinton. It puts the media in the same camp as ‘Corrupt’ Hillary and therefore helps Donald Trump. Americans are tired of the media bias and the polls which are designed to put Hillary ahead are now showing her trailing the record-setting Republican. The Trump campaign event attendees were recently heard cheering – “Do Your Job!” to the media. It now is clear that the media cannot be partial and Americans are seeing right through it.

Some women should never be given control of the checkbook. They tend to overspend on unnecessary items - a fool for a sale. Even if a sale saving $.02: the palms itch and the eyes light up.

The First Principle of Madison Avenue is that no amount of advertising can sell a bad product.

The only reason people remember the Edsel today is because the ad campaign was so huge and effective. People flocked to the dealerships and found out for themselves how bad the product was.

What I don’t understand is, why is Clinton running ads here in Southern California?

If Trump wins, watch for a MASSIVE DoJ/IRS probe into Clinton Foundation's finances. And Trump will ask authorities in Switzerland to see if Clinton Foundation "contributions" were funneled through Swiss banks in possible violation of international laws dealing with racketeering across international borders. Trump may even ask for a legal case against George Soros, possibly finding out if he helped create a slush fund to pay off mainstream media (MSM) outlets for favorable treatment of the political Left. And that right there could bring down multiple MSM companies--New York Times, Tribune Company, Washington Post (Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos could be in big trouble here!), Comcast (the parent of NBC/MSNBC), Disney (the parent of ABC/ESPN), and so on.

I had a prof in b-school that worked for Polaroid when Polarvision came out. As far as consumers went, it was completely outclassed by VCR and Beta technologies.

However, he said his parents loved it, the only other people besides Edwin Land, apparently. Well, not quite. Some artists worked with the technology.

I saw a news report on it at the time, and iirc, besides the fairly low ASA, special player for what basically was Super8, the cartridge held just over two minutes of film.

Let us hope so. We need to root out this corruption.

I agree. If Trump wins, then if I were Robert Iger, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Larry Page, Sergei Brin, and Jack Dorsey, I'd be REAL nervous because they'll be asked a lot of questions by a Trump-dominated DoJ on whether they had received slush fund payments to ensure favorable treatment of the political Left in the media company and tech company space.

“I think a necessary step in fixing what is currently wrong with this nation, requires this group of people to be sent to prison en masse. “

Indeed!

The Second Principle, of course, is that there’s no harm in trying.

The media was able to influence and pick the GOPe nominee in 2008 and 2012, and the voters are fed up with their manipulation of our elections. Trump is strongly anti media. The media hates him and the freedom for America he represents.

The voters know Hillary is venom and Trump is the antidote.

So the prop up of Hillary by the media actually helps Trump.

Trump has branded Hillary as Crooked and Liar.

They seem to be pleading with me to turn it off.

Well yeah, that's how they get paid. What I do is browse in a sandbox, so all the ads load and everybody gets paid. Then when I'm finished browsing I just delete everything. POOF! All gone. History, cookies, malware, everything all gone. That seems to be the fairest thing to do, imo.

No one from the media could explain how the money was spent....but there was nothing to show for all those people she hired to hype her up in Iowa.

It's the same tale wherever HRC and OPM meet. Is it possible for HRC to control $200+ million of OPM and resist the urge to loot it?

It's a serious question.

Actually, advertising can sell a bad product. It just can't do it twice to the same person--which is the situation we have with the scum from Arkansas.

Hint to Hillary: When you use ads that show Trump saying that he wants to “bomb the sh!t out of ISIS”, that helps Trump, NOT you!!

Most Americans WANT a President who will bomb the sh!t out of ISIS, and won’t vote for a candidate who sees something wrong with that!!!!

Yea, and they’ll burn a gallon or two of gas to save those 2¢.

It’s illogical.

Perhaps there might be too much faith, but nonetheless I’ve faith if Mr. Trump is elected he will manage to begin actions to see this happens. He understands (it seems) the reason our nation is what is is. This was never the nation our FF sought, only a monster created by certain parties. There is no fraction of our society which has not been corrupted. If an engine were so compromised, it would never be given clearance to lift off the ground.

The Obama administration has *WEAPONIZED* the departments of the Federal government against conservatives.

I think we need to weaponize the Department of Justice against Liberals so as to make them clearly understand why it's a good idea to keep governmental power under check.

Perhaps if they are placed into terror at the prospect of a partisan government screaming for their hide, then they will come to appreciate why we should not do this.

Same thing with the IRS. Everyone who supports socialism needs to have their Taxes audited. They need to have that capitalist earned money pried out of their fingers, and perhaps then they will learn not to support things they really don't want applied to them.
