>Trump has got some big money to spend. ;-)
I’m sure, but he has a better sense of how the rest of us view these ads. If you’re running (like Yeb!) ads from September on through the primaries, all you’ve succeeded in doing is branding the annoyance of your personality onto everyone’s minds.
Until a key period of alertness (”OK, this is serious, who am I going to vote for”) all you need is ‘brand recognition’ and obviously Trump already owns that.
Watch for some cognizant policy bits in the next month as well as the sort of “America’s best days are not behind her” stuff.
Trump can spend $2 million in ads which would cost a super pac $10 million or more depending on on demand as we get closer to Caucus day.Does anyone remember how Reagan defeated the Soviet Union by floating the idea that we were developing a Star Wars defense system? It Broke them.
Trump in all his brilliance only has to throw out a $$$ figure that he's ready to spend and the idiots will spend them selves broke trying to at least match it...He may not have to spend a dime.
Like you said $10 million to his $2 million will eat up $40 million real fast.
Thank you. You don’t know how much I appreciate that.
And a 0 deduction 10% income tax!And that's after your employer paid 16% on it.
However you can itemize, but you'll have to do it on a post card.

Picking losers gets us nowhere. Would you also take Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore?
Anybody but Trump also includes Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Would you take them too?
Anything to stop the dastardly Trump, right?
Stop and think about the internal FedGov employee reactions AND the reactions of the voter citizenry that feels powerless against the 2 sides of the same coin that is congress to stop Obama TODAY not January 20, 2017. Buy national air time on all networks and set up a (mock) oval office setting. Do the below on a Bible with the proper conviction he is so well noted for.
"Any federal employee that engages in any action to support any executive orders by Obama on gun control, Obamacare delays or modifications, or any other illegal or lawless executive order I will fire every one of them, so help me God. Probably arrest every one of them on top of that."
I wonder if he will pimp ethanol subsidies in Iowa? Or maybe he’ll use the McConnell Senate style attacks on Cruz? Or he might call Scalia a racist?
no, the disparity in rates is not NEARLY that much.
Maybe, maybe not..its a hard muliple to pin down but
“Recent headlines have stated: “Super PACs Pay Up To Six Times As Much To Run TV Ads As Actual Campaigns” and “Why Campaigns Have the Edge Over Super PACs on TV.” It’s true, campaigns have several advantages over Super PACs when it comes to buying media advertising time.”

Or you may have to admit that you were wrong about Trump and he did restore America and set it back on track again! Why are you so negative all of the time?
That I might, and in which case I'd be thrilled to be wrong. BTW, I might warn you, I have a published history of writing about Trump since early 2011 - and all of it is panning out. Just sayin....my track record since 1992 on all things political including on McCain and Obama way way way ahead of the curve - and so on - is almost - not quite but almost - 100%. You are facing looooooooooong odds if history is any indication.
And I'm not always so negative. But there is a nauseating wave of populist naive and angry projection coming from the other direction.....against such a storm, it's useless to pitty patty around.
I have said, oh I don't know, 200 times on FR - that I'll gladly support Trump over ALL Democrats and MOST Republicans. But I'll never support phony conservatism and willful ignorant projection. NEVER.
I have faith. I will support Cruz if the winds of change shift in that direction. Right now that tsunami is Trump and I am riding the wave about to crash, according to you, but I see America waking up from here so I will ride on! Go Trump!
I’m just responding to the broken record of folks assuming Trump is above donations and will win the presidency without them.
It just is not true, and the implication is that donor mean is dirty money, which also is a false premise.
You’re right, I do not have positive things to say about Mr. Trump. He is a lying, leftist narcissist whom I feel is dangerous to the republic. Why would I have anything positive to say about him? I’ve been consistent too by the way... All the way back to 2007 when he decided to jump on the Bush bashing train...
How this man is even being thought of as a potential presidential candidate is mind boggling, let alone when we have a VERY solid conservative who has a record of fighting for said conservative principles running. Trump is a populist flash in the pan, and I hope I’m completely wrong, but I feel folks that supported him in this primary will regret that decision come May/June. The good news is not a single vote has been cast yet, so there is a solid chance a real conservative may win yet.
No. They're not reliably conservative.
Anything to stop the dastardly Trump, right?
That's right. He's not reliably conservative. I believe him to be a total fraud, as much of a malignant narcissist and every bit the petty tyrant as Obama. The words "Constitution" or "Congress" hardly pass his lips.
Let's see him start spending it first.
In his personal conduct the man is decent. The principal reason I have not come out in support of Cruz are his tendencies to be too clever by half in tactics at the expense of political strategy in leadership without showing the slightest sign of repentance when he alters his position. The H-1B visa stance or his vote for the Corker bill stand in that category. Both were disastrous politically. It's a bad sign of poor judgment without the humility to reverse field when necessary.
39% in polls is losing?
OK, now listen carefully: Read the title of the thread.
Got it now? What should concern you Dupes for Donald is that the places he's losing his grip are those where real campaigning has been ongoing with less influence from his pals in the MSM, who GIVE him virtually all the air time, effectively a campaign donation in kind. Over the long term, people will start looking through his vague blather and bogus promises and wonder where's the meat. If he can't make a sale in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina where he faces real opposition, then he's in trouble and he knows it. That's why he's dipping into his pocket, which he said he would never need to do.
39% in polls is losing?
LOL...why yes, winning is the new losing! Got it, now? LOL.
