Here’s another indication of just how bonkers this election season is: NBC News reported Tuesday that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and its allies were set to spend $98 million in TV ads through the fall, while pro-Donald Trump groups had reserved just about $1 million in airtime so far.
Clinton’s campaign and Priorities USA Action have reserved a combined $98 million in ad buys, according to ad-tracking data by SMG Delta. The pro-Trump PAC Rebuilding America Now has slated about $817,000 in air time.
That’s a continuation of what’s already been a huge discrepancy between the two campaigns in terms of ad buys, with the Clinton campaign and its allies spending $68 million through last week and Trump’s backers spending $6 million, according to NBC.
Clinton has an ad campaign set to ramp up around the Olympics in addition to booking airtime in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, according to the report. The spots from Rebuilding America Now PAC are set to air on national cable and in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Trump specializes in bombast. If he cranks it up enough (a given) he gets all sorts of free publicity. Unfortunately, it’s just the message that resonates with his base. Fortunately for the rest of us, it’s unlikely to get him elected.
Well, to be fair…
Trump farts out something stupid, the Media and Trump apologists get to spend countless hours babbling about it, and why Clinton is the devil!!!1!1 and really the bad one…
Clinton only gets a mention to say “how terrible this email thing is”
Drumpf voters are already locked in place. Kind of a clueless fugue state.
It’s the undecided’s that are critical to Hillary, as well as getting the DEM vote out in bigly yuge numbers this November.
Hey, remember when you guys used to tease us Canadians about Rob Ford? Well, I see your Mayor Crackpipe, and I raise you a President Cubic Zirconia…
Yeah, but set in precious pewter!
