No, I’m not sure they do. That’s the point. Didn’t you see 20 negative ads from YEB on Trump? How did that work?

There is a substantial case to be made that TV ain’t what it used to be and that much of this money, especially in July and August, is merely money down a rathole.

And, no, $80m is NOT just for “staff and operations.”

I read Hillary raised 63 mil....then two minutes after Trump’s 80 mil went on line, Hillary’s take was changed to 90 mil

The difference is the split....Trump splits 50-50 with the party. Hillary splits 70-30. The party gets 30.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It depends on the candidates. But we should not bet the farm on the assumption that it makes no difference in this case. Hillary obviously thinks it will.

I seriously doubt Trump is betting the farm against using ads.

Rather, I think he is planning very strategic ads, and personally (no evidence, just gut) I think ads in October would be far, far more effective than money spent now.

Trump only needs to run one ad, over and over again.

"Hillary lies.
Search the Internet."

People will google "Hillary lies" and it'll disgust them with the truth about that evil woman.

I like the idea of lots of small donors (the Burnie model)......

Maybe something like..... $5 a Year for TRUMP....$5x4=$20 to Make America Great Again

Yeah, MSM bias. But only the Hillary lies are facts - and big whoppers. The supposed lies foisted on Trump’s name are exaggerations or fabricated. Moreover, Hillary’s lies are not reported or are buried in little print. But if people could read and research Hillary’s lies, they’ll see how she is totally unfit for public service unless you want the country ruined.

80 million is chump change. He can’t be bought. Wait till Trump opens the spigot of his self-funding juggernaut. Hillary doesn’t have prayer.

The Clinton crime foundation has more money than Trump, and has a pipeline to the wealth of the global elite.

If you have ever made your first million you realize 80 million is anything but chump change.
