Trump canceling ads in key Midwest battlegrounds, moving money south

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.

He’s moving everything into Oklahoma.

The media is so bogus now.

A political action committee (PAC) affiliated with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is spending millions to save Michigan Sen. Gary Peters (D) in a hotly contested race with GOP challenger John James.

A James campaign memo given to Fox News on Tuesday claimed the Senate Majority PAC “will spend $5.4 million in one week — this is the most money they are spending on any Democrat in the entire nation,” according to Stu Sandler, the campaign’s general consultant.

“They are very nervous about John James, and they should be,” he wrote.

Thank you.

Rats are pouring money in FL. GA has been trending poorly in last couple of elections. NC is always close. Oh, Trump won big last time.

Moreover, the article does not say that he is cutting all money from these states. It says CUTTING BACK on money. Big difference. And all of the new four states mentioned to which he is sending money are closely contested Battleground states. I am particularly glad he is putting a little extra into Arizona and North Carolina, where there are important Senate races.

“May”? This campaign is just f’d up on so many different levels. No rapid response, no forward-thinking or planning, few surrogates with any real credibility.

I’d think there would be no need for paid advertisement in Wisconsin since the rioters are doing it for free.

Those polls could say that he's doomed in both states. Or that he's so far ahead there's no point to spend in either of them. Or that he's doomed in one and so far ahead in the other that it doesn't matter. Or it's still competitive in both but there are other states where it's game over if he doesn't win and it's not looking good so he's making a judgement call.

All we can say at this point is that he's not spending there anymore which means he thinks the money is better invested somewhere else or that someone on his campaign made a stupid decision.

[MrChips]

I have sent a little bit of money to John James each month for the last four months. And I think we will win the seat.

unlike the headline, if you read the article it reads as though this is in the past tense, “Pointing to what he called a “sun belt strategy,” Advertising Analytics vice president John Link told Fox News that “over the last month, the president’s moved $22 million out of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Ohio – and its added $19.8 million to the swing states of Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.”

There was an interactive map showing Presidential campaign donations by state. Interestingly, Illinois showed showed $7.1M for Biden, $7M for Trump. Not a predictor of outcome, but I find curious.

[conservativepoet]

Sorry, I disagree especially when Biden continuously calls a “lid” on his campaign every other day.

[frnewsjunkie]

how about bringing in some of the guilty in Russian hoax.. how about getting more documents out in public.. how about some rep in congress speaking out..

THIS GUY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF MY COUNTRY IS GUILTY OF TOO MUCH TO LET SLIDE.. AND HE IS A BLANKETY COMMIE!!

what us wrong with my country to let this guy even run for office . let alone have him win!!

i cannot believe this... never in my lifetime.. Where are the law enforcers.. where are the constitution believers.. are we just gonna acquiesce into oblivion!?

please stop this man who has no brain and no heart... they all are dead to good for humanity...

[EnquiringMind]

I said this 4 years ago and will say again: IF they cannot win with all the help they are getting, they are pathetic. They were being helped in 2016, and will be in 2020, but will still lose. Pathetic Losers.

Watch his rallies. In 2016 he had pulled out of Pennsylvania and was holding rallies In Michigan and Wisconsin. He already had PA wrapped up.

Clinton held rallies featuring known singers for concerts in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the last weeks before the election.

[wareagle7295]

How much money did he put into Wisconsin last time? I remember some rallies, but I don’t think anyone was expecting anything. If the riots haven’t won Wisconsin back, it isn’t worth throwing money at. My guess he actually knows he is ahead there.
