I don’t watch much television, but I see zero Trump ads here in Western NY. THere isn’t even anything to speak of from the Clinton team either. Few lawn signs for either side.
My take is that Trump is not going to spend money on TV ads to give money to his enemies. He’s trying a more direct approach and sidestepping the media.
We’ll see if it works.
I would check the station ad buys in the targeted battleground states. Like Pennsylvania, Ohio, NC, etc. Wouldn’t make sense to spend in, say Vermont.
