Trump canceling ads in key Midwest battlegrounds, moving money south
Foxnews ^ | 10/7/2020 | Paul Steinhauser

President Trump’s cutting back on campaign commercials in some of the key Midwestern battlegrounds that helped him win the White House four years ago – and shifting resources to a bunch of crucial swing states further south.

The president’s re-election campaign has dropped roughly $2 million in ad reservations in Michigan and Wisconsin since last month, according to Advertising Analytics , Medium Buying, and Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group , three leading ad tracking firms. Trump narrowly won the two states in 2016, breaking a quarter century long winning streak by Democrats.

If you believe Trump is doing “just fine”, you are in need of a psych eval.

If there was only a way Trump could come out and debunk this story if false, or explain his motivations if true.
Why do you need to know?

What will you do about it?

He doesn't need to explain to the world or to ankle biters.

Someone on here mentioned the use of negative ads. I have to admit there have been a bunch of ads here that are also trying to highlight biden’s “accomplishments”. So, not all negative ads but ones propping the dem too. I just caught one for a moment before I had a chance to hastily change the channel.

I’m in southern Virginia and we’ve got non stop Biden ads.
I pray Trump takes Virginia back.

I believe the hammer is going to come down on pedo joe with third party ads highlighting his molestation of young women. Those ads will fill the airwaves in those states over the next few weeks.

How in the heck do you know what the facts are, my poll is this Trump had more people standing vigil 24/7 in front of a hospital than Biden, Bernie, Jill had ALL WEEKEND in all of their events!! While that vigil was happening at the hospital ALL ACROSS this country from sea to shining sea citizens had HUGE rallies, car parades, boat parades ect. SO PLEASE all of you pearl clutchers GO AWAY we don’t need your Debbie Downer attitudes with ALL of the HARD WORK being done out there!!!

Pedo ads will do nothing. It is just too conspiratorial to be effective. He just needs to hammer him on the issues like taxes, China, safety/antifa.

Because I am not going to write another check to his campaign if I do not know where it’s going. That’s “why”.

At least 3 polls are tied. One has her slightly down. One has her slightly up. Any poll showing wider disparity is bogus.

It will impact suburban women in a major way and they will either vote for Trump or not vote for Biden.

I do agree that the psychotic Karen’s will turn out, but it doesn’t make sense that Biden is suddenly surging / people are switching their support because Trump caught Covid? He saw a pretty good bump after the debate. I can’t figure out the psychology.

With all the video out there of him actually DOING these things, I find it hard to believe anyone would think of it as a ‘conspiracy’. All you need to do is make an ad with ALL the video.

Trump spent only a small fraction of the money Clinton did in 2016 and won. She spent way more; he spent way better.

If you don't trust his instincts after the 2016 campaign and after the last four years, then why even consider supporting him at all?

Dear Pearl Clutchers,

Tell me how much 2M buys over 2 states, or 22M spread out over 5 states or even tell me what a DMA is...

Tell me where the GOP PAC money is in the same markets and what is their saturation.

YOU ARE HERE.

I think back to earlier this year when we saw lots of Trump ads and few Biden ads. But that was when the Trump campaign was awash with money and Biden was essentially broke after the primary. But I agree with you, the ground game will be key.

Oh, Trump won big last time.

Trump won NC by 170K votes - and 3.7% - which on the grand scale - is nothing. He won MI, WI and PA by a grand total of ~77,800 votes. That's 61 EV's and more than enough to hand him a loss with a flip of just 247K votes - out of MILLIONS. That's not winning BIG. This cocky attitude is so dangerous.
