And again, what evidence ANYWHERE is there that running these ads works?
They DIDN’T work for Cankles when she spent $50 m ?? prior to the convention and her poll numbers fell. They DIDN’T work with Yeb in the primary. And so on.
Hillary won the primary against Bernie. How is Trump going to win if he doesn’t have money to spend on ads and the media attacking him?
The $80 M is more for operating expenses more than anything. As Gingrich says Trump comes at you in waves just like in the primaries. He goes up then he goes down then comes back up stronger than before! On Trump’s next wave up he will go above 50.
I see about 20 Hillary ads for every 1 Trump ad here in Florida. Trump can’t just assume they make no difference. Ads make the biggest difference when you’re talking about negative advertising. That’s really what this race is all about. There are a lot of negative things you can say about Hillary. If you don’t do it, then you’re not really a fighter. You’re just presenting yourself as a target for Hillary.
