Sorry low-budget doesn’t work. Close elections are never won the cheap. A national campaign for presidency must have access to at least half-billon to a billion dollars.
I’m not buying that. An ubiquitous message grows quickly annoying. Trump buying an hour of airtime on the majors to make his pitch, on the last Friday night in October, will be a far more impactful presentation. You don’t build an empire without extracting maximum value, I don’t think I need to sweat Trump spending the money when it matters.
We're in the summer doldrums, where, for a media starved for any semblance of news, even a single sentence is blown out of proportion, magnified innumerable times, and dissected by analysts who actually think they know something.
So it's slow right now.
Hillary's bombing the airwaves with ads of questionable import. Right now she comes across as scared, like a chicken with it's head cut off.
She's busy blowing the wad against an opponent who, at this moment, really refuses to show himself to her on the battle field. Patience never really being her strong suit, this pisses her off.
As an earlier poster opined, all he has to do is lay low till Labor Day. Between now and then, he'll keep himself in the news (he does that better than any one today), and, by dint of who is, he'll get more exposure, valuable exposure, that simple ads can't by.
He's live. He's real.
Since most people don't follow the politics of an election until Labor Day, laying back makes the most sense.
After Labor Day, the pent-up demand, both in the Trump camp and the electorate in general, will make itself manifest, as interest begins to peak.
Hillary's invisible opponent will be invisible no more, as sharp attacks from the Trump camp begin to find their mark, and, despite Clinton's best efforts to counter, become sharper and more persistent by the day.
All this in addition to Trump's continued mastery of the media.
Quite frankly, I don't believe the world will have ever seen anything quite like this.
We already have a good idea of what Trump is like under pressure. In the 2 months between Labor Day and the election, we're going to find out what Hillary's like in those circumstances.
No, believe me - Trump knows exactly what he's doing.
