Trump prepared to give ‘whatever resources needed’ to win Virginia

Trump prepared to give ‘whatever resources needed’ to win Virginia
POSTED 1:03 PM, OCTOBER 17, 2016, BY CNN WIRE

WASHINGTON — After seeing reports last week that his campaign was pulling out of Virginia, Donald Trump picked up the phone and called his Virginia state director Mike Rubino to deliver a very clear message: he will not withdraw, and will give Rubino whatever resources needed to win the Old Dominion.

To back that up, CNN is told the Trump campaign plans to go on the air with television ads in Virginia starting Tuesday in what campaign officials say is a $2 million buy in “key markets” through election day.

Trust me I'm a political genius. That's the best course. Oh and you need to keep fighting for NY too. It's where they know you best and a guaranteed home state win if you pour on the $$ a bit. Believe me it will be great.

In a real job interview, they wouldn't even call him back for a second interview.

A waste of resources and time on a battle he can't win. This will only take resources from states that are closer. That guy is DUMB. This is after he cuts ties with the Ohio GOP who could have helped him there. Genius. [link:

He gets a story on the local station ( who really really want that revenue) and there will be some chatter about it. That's it.

Trump has literally phoned-n most of his campaign.


The following is a joke for any Richmonders reading this - How can anything from Channel 6 NOT have Nikki Dee in it?

Virginia is so far gone already-- but I guess he would have to have it, with a long list of other states he's losing...

But he can go ahead and try. VA can always use some thrown away money--except that they'll probably never get paid on those invoices he will generate.
