Trump Plans Major Ad Buy Monday
ABC News ^ | August 29, 2016 | Jill Colvin, The Associated Press

Donald Trump's campaign is planning its biggest ad buy to date — upward of $10 million on commercials airing over the next week or so.

The campaign is expects the ads to air as soon as Monday in nine swing states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida, where the campaign has already been on the air, along with New Hampshire, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada. 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney lost eight of those nine states.

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has so far been badly outspent by his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and groups supporting her....

The ads in Indiana are all by NRA or a PAC. They are all very well done and hit the target

When they start airing in certain markets they will go viral as they are tweeted or twitted between ppl who are amused or polarized. He will get more for his expenditure than the beast ever will

I've started to see Trump ads, both on TV and online.

I've always said that Trump should leave no stone unturned with respect to engaging the Clinton campaign.

Donald Trump has to pry open his wallet, saturate social media, online, local TV, national TV, snail mail, email, everything. On every front, Trump's message must dominate Hillary's hollowness.

Donald Trump is simply not going to win this election on the cheap.

When Hillary's policies and messaging go up against Trump's, Hillary loses every time. It's a critical vector for Trump to break through the Media's slanted coverage: these greedy pigs will take Trump's ad money, and when they do, they won't be able to talk over or distort Donald Trump's message to the people— not while his ads are running!

Vote Trump!

The new investment comes amid signs that Trump's lagging poll numbers may be improving against Clinton's following a campaign reboot.

It will be interesting to see whether Hillary's recent attempt to label Trump a racist gains traction. I would be very surprised to see that she can move the numbers much with this issue even despite Nathan Bedford's first maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

The problem for Hillary is that all the damage that can be done probably has been done and Trump has a potential opportunity to fight back on the same issue where Hillary is extremely vulnerable not just because allegations against her concerning race are true but because her standing is so high that she has a great way to fall.

I think Trump should keep hitting away, calling Hillary a bigot, not just an issue bigot as he is not in his last interview but in actual bigot who has supported Sen. Harry Byrd and Sen. William Fulbright.

If he produces a speech on Wednesday of the caliber of his last two policy speeches, he should gain a few more points.

The media’s job (aside from being off the wall biased in favor of Hillary) is to get both candidates to spend as much money as possible.

That is why they “cook” the polls to convince candidates local states are in play when they are not, that the national election is “close” (so more ad buys are needed), etc.

Trump needs to set his own timing and his own strategy and totally ignore media writers and talking head whores.

Hillary loves to claim “old news”.

What is “new news” is illegal and (in the US) Obama driven Muslim immigration. That got Britain voted out of the European Union and will get Obama/Hillary voted out of the White House.

The “Melting Pot” just overheated and it is Hillary who will get burned.

“Donald Trump is simply not going to win this election on the cheap.”

Trump is not going to spend $$$ just to be spending it. The old rules of campaign ads are irrelevant this election. Trump has millions of people watching/re-watching his campaign rallies & ads online. Look for Trump to ramp up his ad campaign “bigly” come October. He’s going to be President.

Vote Trump 2016
