Problem with his reasoning is that Trump really doesn't have to spend as much money as his opponents. He has name recognition, worldwide. Everything he says and does gets reported by multiple outlets, which means he gets his message out there without having to create boring political ads that most people ignore anyway. Yes he spends money on his travel, but so do his opponents, and his opponents have to also spend money on political ads.
To top it off, endless emails asking for money to support him are not inundating people's inboxes, just your vote. Though he does occasionally send emails offering free bumper stickers.
I am neither a stalwart supporter, nor a bombastic detractor, just making an observation.
>> endless emails asking for money to support him are not inundating people’s inboxes, just your vote.
Yes, and that’s nothing short of amazing.
I’m a Ted Cruz supporter, but even with Cruz, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of his emails to me are begging for money. (And that’s after already donating hundreds of $$$.)
No “Hi how ya doin’”, no “Here’s the latest issue and where I stand”, no “Please tell us what you think”. ONLY money begging.
It gets old and it’s depersonalizing, frankly. I’m a cashbag to them and nothing else.
With Trump, I’m just a number, not a cashbag, not anything else. :-) But at least he leaves me and my pocketbook alone.
-—— Yes he spends money on his travel,——
to the company that travel is expense. expense is tax deductable. thus, campaign travel increases the bottom line
