Related: About this forumTrump Still Hasn’t Spent Any Money on TV Ads
First Read: Exactly two months ago, Hillary Clintons campaign went up with its first general election TV ads in battleground states, and in that time it has spent $61 million over the airwaves, while pro-Clinton outside groups have chipped in an additional $43 million. Thats a combined $104 million in total ad spending for Team Clinton.But in that same time frame, Donald Trumps campaign still hasnt spent a single cent on a general-election ad, with two pro-Trump outside groups coming to the rescue with $12.4 million over the airwaves. Thats a nearly 9-to-1 advantage in ad spending.

(5,737 posts)1. And Trump has been doing what in polls? His campaign is counting on free ads by the media now
They are going to use whatever resources they have starting around the first of October, about the same time more wiki leaks and more Russian leaks. It will be coordinated by Manafort, Putin and Assange, with an assist to FoxNews.

If he can even find any inventory.
His ads will be running at 2am.
What a media idiot.
