Washington (CNN)The Hillary Clinton campaign requested Thursday that The Weather Channel delay airing its campaign ads until Hurricane Matthew passes.

"Earlier in the week we made changes to our TV ad reservations across hundreds of stations in several battleground states including Florida," Jesse Ferguson, a Clinton spokesman, said. "Less than 1% of those changes included The Weather Channel. We have requested that stations in Florida delay any of those ads on the Weather Channel until after the storm passes."

Her pick of the Grinch who lost the debate shows that!

Let us not forget Geraldo Rivera. Another weatherman!

America 1st. Then Haiti

[marygam]

We think alike! I said that to Hubby about an hour ago!!

[Jimmy The Snake]

How do we make the Trump-Train of Deplorable Storm Relief actually happen? Any Freepers got some inside Trump campaign contacts? I’d go and Help

[LostPassword]

She’s working on the new ad right now:

Women are just as powerful as men and Hillary is a women. If you liked the power Matthew showed in Florida you’ll love what Hillary can do to the USA.

One disaster at a time.

ads on the The Weather Channel?

I thought the Weather Channel was an ad.

[mdittmar]

LOL!

Slightly off topic . . . anybody have any thoughts on why she is running ANY ads in Fla? My understanding is that absentee ballot requests are running well for us and poorly for her. So poorly that she has likely lost the state already. I have heard rumors about her possibly giving up in Fla.

So why run ads at all? Just to appear as though she hasn’t given up on an important state?

Back on topic . . . talk about poor taste to run ads while people’s lives in such danger. Sheeesh,

[Fiddlstix]

Clintoon will delay ads on the Weather Channel until after the storm passes

My Oh my! What a humanitarian gesture!

Because suddenly, TWC is full of reality shows.

Not much 24/7 weather anymore, except for stuff like hurricanes and blizzards.

[RayChuang88]

I know why: it will make her look ridiculously crass in light of a potential disaster from just north of Palm Beach, FL all the way to North Carolina's Outer Banks! And that's if Matthew doesn't make landfall again further up the US East Coast like Sandy in 2012 or the 1938 New England hurricane.

One disaster at a time?

[D-fendr]

Hillary will resume with ads about Global Warming during the cleanup.

[CARTOUCHE]

I doubt there will be any ads on The Weather Channel tonight. They’ll be going balls to the wall all night long and there wont be any commercials. Local on the 8s will be the only breaks they actually take.

[WKUHilltopper]

Because she’s afraid she’ll have to get out of her hospital bed and go to all those states afterwards.

” Put some dope in a rain coat, toss him outside, and ask him if it is raining hard.”

As the dope gets blown away, the in-studio host asks, “How’s the wind out there, Bert?”

That just kills me!

[Jimmy The Snake]

Along with ads from Genrac, Coleman Laterns, Everyready Batteries, Home Depot....

Never thought I would need a generator in the USA.

[wally_bert]

I’m a duracell person myself

Everready batteries have never lasted long with me.
