Really? YOU explain how a successful businessman, with excellent views, and no record to really criticize, is polling in the 30s. Come on. So sick of this lame argument. What’s the downside? Tell me that. Even if it’s marginal, why isn’t he unloading ads on her????

So your answer is you don't have any actual evidence to show that political TV ads significantly impact election outcomes. I couldn't find it either. Maybe that is why Trump is using his resources in other ways. He did the same thing in the primaries. He over performed a vast majority of the RCP primary vote polling averages using that strategy. Spent almost nothing on ads. Crushed a field of highly touted competitors ending up with the most primary votes in GOP history. It didn't really seem to make sense while it was happening then either. But it sure was effective.

It is entirely possible that the traditional measures being used to gauge the status of this election are completely invalid. Brexit is an obvious example of that. But so was Trump's primary campaign. In both cases, the side given no chance of winning achieved what amounted to a solid victory. Yet every single traditional indicator pointed in the opposite direction. Just something to think about.

He is running ads, you live where CT? Why waste money in a state filled with other morons. Check your facts before you run your mouth, he is spending in battlegrounds ON ADS. I live in Western Pa and see plenty of Trump ads, billboards, yard signs. So genius you think he is sitting on a big pile of money and purposely not spending it, because he and all his million dollar consultants are telling him not to? What universe do you live in? If that was a magic bullet don't you think he would use it.

Now if you are one of those conspiracy nutters who thinks Trump is in this for some publicity stunt and purposely throwing the election, you need to tell us all that.
