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.

What I mean is: Why would Lindsey be vacated from his Senate seat on 11/4? Isn’t he in that seat until January, 2021? The SCOTUS vote could go on after the election and until January, 2021, right?
Very good. Keep the scumbags out of your heads. FNC makes a big deal out of this but doesn’t mention Biden has a cruise ship filled with dark money and does not have to worry about spending strategy.
You’re absolutely right! I hasn’t thought of it that way but it makes perfect sense. Trying to drive down the other candidates supporters or positives.
Use common sense folks You would not shift millions of dollars to States like Georgia unless you did not have them in the bag.
Go over to the Trafalgar Group— their polls were the most accurate in 2016. Even they are getting a miserable response rate of < 2%. They show Trump slightly ahead in MI and WI and 3 points behind in PA. However, when you look at the internals, women are way, way over-represented, especially in PA. If that is corrected for, Trump has all three in the bag.

Thank you so much. SO we have until Nov. 30th to get ACB into SCOTUS. If nothing else, and if all else is lost, let’s concentrate on this.
When Biden planned his post-debate trip to PA, it was still close. Trump is now trying to keep Biden’s EC total under 400.
I didn’t know Jane Fonda was allowed to post on FR. She calls herself “babble-on”.
Trump is still the damned president and has the bully pulpit. Where is he?

POTUS appears on more actual news and commentary shows than any POTS I recall. zer0 and Hil appeared on late night *comedy*.
He calls in to radio and TV at least once a week and his surrogates are frequent guests.
And Twitter, in 2020, IS rapid response. Not just POTUS, but his surrogates, are dominating the Twitter convo and are also setting the narrative as the MSM and the progs try to respond. All they have is vile supposition and name-calling.
Tomorrow he has 3 full hours on Rush. Not everyone who listens to Rush is a conservative or a Trump supporter. POTUS will be taking written questions from citizens. Rush’s audience is 22M. Tomorrow will be more. How many rallies would it take to achieve that?
Speaking of rallies, the virus knocked out 2-3. He’s been doing 2 or more a week for the past month.
Trump also live tweeted and fact-checked last night’s debate.
He’s doing just fine.
Quote: “ They have their own polling, not available to the public, and it’s critically important that those polls be accurate because the campaign’s actions depend on that data. Well, so much for that theory. Now we have to find another mystical crystal ball to tell us the “truth” about what’s going”
Nope, not a myth at all. Question on the table is this, what does this say?
Says to me that they may be writing off those states and contracting the campaign.
Can ignore all the polls, especially the one’s that we normally hold on ugh regard. It’s been a down week and the only question is, can there be a snap back?
I’m in an area of TN that’s about 75% Republican. I see Biden ads non-stop. Seems like a waste of money for Biden - ain’t no way he’s winning TN.
CAN NOT replace people like that out on the streets in these neighborhoods with ads, ads are very annoying AND don’t change minds!! This young man stood there talking to this guy for 15-20 minutes, most of the people in these neighborhoods are not educated on what the hell they are voting for they have been brainwashed for DECADES!! Ads don’t change that!!
“However, when you look at the internals, women are way, way over-represented, especially in PA. If that is corrected for, Trump has all three in the bag.”
Oh no, I hope that Trafalgar hasn’t gone to the dark side too. Then what do we do?
There’s nothing to “correct” for if they have determined that the psychotic Karens really will be turning out in record numbers — exactly as they did in 2018. There’s sure as hell no evidence that they won’t.
Hatred is a very strong electoral motivator. It’s the ONLY thing the left has got, but they’ve got all they need and more.
It is true that Joe is simply running a typical PR...heavy ad campaign. But Hilliary buried Trump with ads in 2016 and it didn’t work.
Voters individually saw hundreds and hundreds of Biden ads during September. Does anyone think another 100 ads from Joe is going to make any difference??
The stray voter that hasn’t made up their mind....won’t be swayed by another TV, Radio or internet ad.
Most likely it’s somebody like you or me that will help convince that person who they should support. All the more reason the ground game and not advertising will produce the victory In November.
Sometimes it seems like he doesn’t really want to win
_______________
No person on Earth has ever been more about winning than Donald J. Trump.
It sounds like you’re about to get a blitz of Trump ads.
It is not untypical, no.
OMG give me a DAMN BREAK!{
I read a few weeks ago that Biden ground game was late and was just beginning in places like WI where Trump campaign had been going door to door all summer. With all of the riots and In-your-face BLM groups and trump folks going door to door, it would be mildly surprising for Biden to come in late with a ground game, hardly any personal appearance and just win a state like WI. The issue will be when the democrats FIND mail-in ballots in some warehouse and try to steal the elections
“Says to me that they may be writing off those states and contracting the campaign.”
I wasn’t suggesting otherwise, because that’s exactly what is happening. Circling the wagons and playing defense.
I would love to hear from anyone who can actually back up with any proof the otherwise fact-free assertion that ANY crucial swing state is “in the bag” for Trump — i.e. with a lead so gigantic that there is ZERO possibility of losing it and therefore no need whatsoever to keep pushing for votes.
