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.
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.”
