Biden ups ante, spending $65M on ad blitz this week
Fox News ^ | September 16 2020 | Paul Steinhauser

Flush with fundraising dollars, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaign announced Wednesday morning that it’s dishing out an eye-popping $65 million this week for an ad blitz on TV, digital, radio and print.

Biden’s campaign described the buy as “the single largest paid media investment the campaign has made to date,” and deputy press secretary Matt Hill tweeted that the former vice president’s team is “going big on paid media and reaching voters across the map.”

The campaign spotlighted that the ads will run in 10 key general election battleground states: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Nebraska and Minnesota.

He can spend as much as he wants. His message “me good, orange man bad” is vapid.

The usual “I will work for the people not the corporations” line is meaningless throw away junk.

They run the ads here in TX (great waste of money there) and it just ends up with “OK, so what?”

Objectively.

I have listened to a lot of Biden ads. Everyone deserves (fill in platitude). But not a single policy. Biden will fight for ( fill in platitude.). But no path to achieving (platitude) is ever proposed.

One Citizen = One Vote. It doesn’t matter how many millions spent on advertising. Hiden Biden is trying to cover his lack of ground game by throwing TV/Radio money at it. I guess he has never heard of Cord Cutters who don’t watch old-timey TV stations.

Basementman needs ads more than Trump does because Basementman is mostly cowering in his basement with all the other odds and ends of useless junk. Trump is out and about, actually doing things and conducting a real campaign. Trump is on TV almost every single day actually answering questions from a hostile howling mob or rabid Biden campaigners, while Basementman only occasionally swings at cottonballs tossed to his by his campaign staff.

This can actually have the opposite impact if people are repulsed every time they see a commercial. It just reinforces their distaste for Biden.

Hey Joe, $65 millions is a drop in the bucket compared to Trump’s billions.

And ramping-up TV ads is the preferred response to falling poll numbers.

For 1996.

How much did they pay Netscape Navigator?

How much was spent on AOL?

How much was spent on record player 78 RPM’s?

It's either that or getting out on the campaign trail and hitting 3,4 5 cities a day and answering hundreds of reporter questions. Biden is too feeble to read a teleprompter, he ain't getting out on the trail.

If he wasn’t spending last week, why were 100% of the ads blocked on my Youtube for him?

I see the SAME two Biden ads - EVERY commercial break - at LEAST once each commercial break. A lot of the time, it’s the first and last commercial of the break. The SAME stinking commercial!

No matter how much you advertise, a turd sandwich is still just a turd.
