On the Political Insiders segment of Fox Report Weekend this evening, John Leboutillier said the reason Hillary is winning in the swing states right now is she (and her PAC) have spent multi-millions on anti-Trump ads in the these states where the election will be won (or lost).
Also, Hillary is attempting to raise 1 billion dollars!
LeBoutillier said that Trump needs to take 100 million of his money and put it into his own anti-Hillary ads, or he's unlikely to win the election.
I think he's right. I know the Trump campaign has begun to air ads but they've got to do a lot more to catch up to Clinton in this regard.
It’s just sad that candidates have to advertise at all, that that’s the only way most people know about the candidates is by what they hear in a campaign ad.
I agree but that, unfortunately, is the reality.
Nah, just wait until the debates. Hillary is going to be destroyed.
As long as the Trump team insures that there won’t be another lib like Candy Crowley moderating who will attempt to sabotage Trump.
Nonsense. People like you inevitably know nothing about advertising.
It has a short shelf life and has no impact on people’s voting behavior.
Hillary dumped over $100 million in ads since June and she’s losing!
Trump is running few ads because they work only once.
You can ask a fellow named Jeb Bush just how well they worked for him.
If they are debates.
Hillary is not losing in the all-important swing states. She’s ahead in most of them. That’s where the election will be won.
Running ads in the primary does not equate to the election. The primaries had multiple candidates, starting out with 17 on the GOP side. The election is, essentially, one-on-one.
I don’t understand why Trump can’t lay down some big bucks to try to win. It will take some time to liquidate $100 million, but he should do it.
Hillary has more money working for her, the media plugging for her, but she’s still going to lose. However, Trump may face a Democrat Senate. His judges may have to wait until after the ‘18 midterms to get confirmed.
Trump's campaign has ushered in a whole new paradigm shift. He defeated 16 other Republican candidate with little or no advertising. What makes you think he'll lose to Hillary if he doesn't spend on ads.
Trump's advertising lies with his rallies. He is interacting with people on the ground. There is no need for him to spend millions on ads, on network televisions, although I think he'll cut ads after Labor Day.
According to who? CNN?
This media pressure, because TV station makes money during Presidential season.
Lol, remember when they tried to destroy him with Megan Kelly?
So she gets most of her money from the elitist and Wall Street, those same people who she said she will make pay their fair share and put restrictions on Wall Street.
Now how any Bernie voter and most Libs could ever vote for this corrupt , lying woman is beyond me.
He’s leading in a number of polls.
I don’t think either of us understand his strategy, but it’s working.
If trump wins the popular vote by more then 1.5% he will win the electoral votes needed to be President. It is always the case.
All this caterwauling over ads. You'll get your advertisements soon enough, for what they are worth. Ask Jebbie Bush how the $100m he blew on advertisements worked out for him.
I never liked Joe Kennedy but I always liked that quote.
