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.

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.

“Nonsense. People like you inevitably know nothing about advertising.”

Sounds to me like you are the one who knows nothing about advertising. Repetitive attack ads work very well. And Trump has lost 5-10 points in the swing states that Clinton has been running ads. In Florida, there has been a swing of 12 points on average.

Trump now as to work harder to get those points back and then sum. If Trump loses this election, it will be because he went cheap on us after the primaries.

Although I wish she was, Hillary is *not* losing. She's ahead in all of the battleground states, and -- because she's so far ahead in some of these states -- she's pulling her ads out in those states, and intensifying ads in states where she's only a few points ahead of Trump.

Plus of course, Hillary has 99% of the media in her pocket.

Trump has GOT to get going... And soon.
