Trump drops nearly $5 million on TV ads with immigration theme

Collecting Social Security benefits, skipping the line. “Our border open. It’s more of the same, but worse”, the ad’s narrator says over images of refugee camps and border patrol officers. That’s all replaced by bright color images in Donald Trump’s America, with shots of the border being tightly patrolled by helicopter.

‘Terrorists and unsafe criminals: kept out. “No misleading ad can change the fact that Hillary Clinton is the only candidate with the experience and judgment to lead the country and keep our families safe”.

However, Trump supporters trust Clinton more than Clinton supporters do – on one thing.

Trump could learn a great deal from late President Harry Truman, said Sabato, referring to the late president as the “patron saint of candidates who are behind”. Edwards spokesman Richard Carbo said in a statement that “we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of this storm”.

While a tight race in Georgia isn’t good news for Trump, he is neck and neck with Clinton in Nevada, a purple state that has voted Democrat in the past two elections.

At the Republican National Convention in July, Mr. Trump conjured a nation that had “endured domestic disaster…[and] lived through one global humiliation after another”, positing himself as its only hope for stability, according to a transcript of his speech from The Washington Post.

Trump’s campaign has promised to focus on more “themes”.

It’s not like Americans are broadly unaware of Trump’s immigration position, either. The Trump campaign had prepared to launch the spot after the Olympics, which ends Sunday. In urban areas, where the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis has often been more robust – and where populations tend to be more Democratic – people are more likely to say that the economy is getting better, a Gallup survey found last September.

The New York businessman’s campaign reserved television ad space over the coming 10 days in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker.

Sabato, Kyle Kondik, and Geoffrey Skelley wrote in their report that Trump is enjoying a surge of support among blue-collar, white voters who did not graduate from college, but that backing is not stretching to New Hampshire, which has the fourth largest percentage of white college graduates in the United States. Greg Sargent notes the similarity between this ad and one Trump ran in Iowa during the primaries.
