First Trump TV Ads Air in Battleground States

A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found Hillary Clinton beating him among that demographic 91% to 1%.

Since winning the nomination, Trump has spent zero dollars on TV and radio advertising while Clinton has spent almost $90 million.

Republicans inside and outside the campaign give much of the credit for Trump’s stronger week to Kellyanne Conway, the new campaign manager. Trump waited to begin airing spots until after the conventions, though he and his allies are likely to still be outspent over the next two weeks by forces aligned with Clinton.

Clinton’s campaign has spent the summer flooding the airwaves with television ads, building out field operations in the states and attracting Republican support.

Up until mid-August, the Donald Trump campaign was outspent by the Hillary Clinton campaign on the television airwaves $61 million to zero.

Regarding crime, Trump said, “I am going to break up the gangs, the cartels and criminal syndicates terrorizing our neighborhoods”. He has a new team, and allegedly a new attitude.

Trump has a lot of ground to make up in this campaign.

On July 25, 8 national polls showed Trump with a 0.5 percent lead. Trump is too self-absorbed to take advantage of it. Still, only about a third of voters (31%) say she would be a good or great president, while 22% say would be average and 45% think she would be a poor (12%) or bad (33%) president.

Two of Trump’s earliest supporters were a pair of African-American women, Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson, who became nearly instant YouTube stars after posting their “Stump for Trump” videos early in his campaign. “He’s the bulldozer candidate”.

Like the Greens, the Libertarian platform has some controversial clauses, including a pledge to legalize narcotics and make abortion strictly a matter of personal choice with no say from government.

That approach was evident Friday.

The national media and the Clinton campaign heavily criticized Trump when he made a comment during a campaign rally earlier this month seemingly prodding gun supporters to go after the Democratic nominee.

“You’re living in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed, what the hell do you have to lose?”, he added. What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump.

Clinton had no intention of letting Trump’s messages pass politely. “This is so ignorant it’s staggering”, she wrote.
