Trump plans major ad buy after weeks of being outspent

By JILL COLVIN

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's campaign is making its biggest general election ad buy to date, with plans to spend upward of $10 million on commercials airing over the next week or so.

 

The campaign is expecting to air a new ad, which paints rival Hillary Clinton as a job-killer, as soon as Monday in nine 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 — all battleground states.

 

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has so far been badly outspent by his Democratic rival and groups supporting her. Since clinching her party's nomination in early June, Clinton has spent more than $77 million on television and radio advertising, largely targeting voters in battleground states, according to Kantar Media's political ad tracker.

 

Trump finally hit the airwaves earlier this month with an ad focused on immigration, and so far has only spent about $5 million.

 

Clinton has reserved about $9.2 million in airtime this week.

 

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

 

Trump senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement that the billionaire businessman's "positive message of economic opportunity is working and we see the national and battleground state polls all moving in the right direction."

 

"With Hillary Clinton off the campaign trail yet again this week and continuing to take many communities' votes for granted, we see this as the right time to show voters the benefits of an American economy under the leadership of Mr. Trump," he added.

 

Clinton will be spending much of the week in private fundraisers in the Hamptons, the wealthy enclaves of eastern Long Island, New York.

Trump is also expected to unveil on Monday his second ad of the general election. It will focus on his economic message, contrasting his approach with Clinton's.

 

"In Hillary Clinton's America, the middle class get crushed. Spending goes up, taxes go up. Hundreds of thousands of jobs disappear. It's more of the same, but worse," says a narrator.

 

The narrator continues that, in "Donald Trump's America, working families get tax relief. Millions of new jobs created, wages go up. Small businesses thrive."

 

In fact, neither Trump nor Clinton's tax plans would have any major impact on how much the middle class pays, analysts say.

Thought he just quadtruple the rent at Trump Tower. Should have lots of spare cash to spend.

Hmmm...being outspent and is still ranked even with Crooked Hillary?

Perhaps her message is slipping?

Lipstick on the trump pig. trump knows he won't win anyway. He's not going to spend very much of his OWN money. He's building a MEDIA empire now. Fox News is fading ... he will probably replace with Trump T.V. taking that moron Hannity and some others along with him.

Bogus wingnut link. The story ties itself in logic knots coming up with that conclusion. As if 32% of Hispanics would favor Trump. Really...try and get a grip.

 

538 has the HRC down a little today only a 78% vs 21% chance that HRC wins the election. In other words a slam dunk.

By 2020, Trump will have America in such a Utopian state that 95% of all the eligible voters will bring him a landslide victory of epic proportions. It will be huge! He will have the best re-election in the history of the USA.

 

Of course the 5% that didn't vote for him will have to be rounded up by the deportation squad and sent to some country they think is better than the Great Ole USA.

A shrewd businessman spending millions on a lost cause does not make any sense...
