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.

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.

Most people pay no attention to political ads until after labor day.

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.

LeBoutiller is absolutely smoking crack and you are naive for listening to his advice.

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.

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.

Relax. Trump has plenty of money and he'll use it when he needs to.

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.

Trump should do it. And what about those independent PACs? They could focus on Hitlary’s brain damage

Yeah sure thing....this joker appears on Canadian radio as an American political expert. Through out the primaries he trashed Trump and said the voters weren’t stupid enough to select them as their nominee. Then when Trump became the nominee he has continued to Trash Trump and excoriate the people who voted for Trump.

His take on American politics is incorrect. Faux new lives him because he is himself never Trump

He's right, except he said Trump needs to write a check (from his own money) for $500 million -- and pound away on the campaign trail, and "never worry about money again."

I agree. Time's a wasting. Some states start early voting *next month*.

I think Trump knows exactly where he stands, and what he needs to do.

Most viewers might watch a political ad maybe twice and then it’s ignored.

I watch the Harris Faulkner program every week. This John guy is a pompous ass like Rove and Dick the toesucker.

Pat Cadell nailed both John and Doug Schoen about this not being an election year like all of the past ones, and that they were wrong to think old methods would work this year.
