    Maybe dumping tens of millions of dollars on TV ads to promote a candidate who is already universally known (HRC) isn't the best strategy.

        Brings to mind Karl Rove's 2012 scam: take huge sums from rich donors & unload on TV. Yielded little electorally, but made consultants big $

        BHO was still relatively unknown in 2008, so spending lots of money on TV at least made strategic sense. That rationale doesn't apply w/ HRC

        Yet all the smug HRC supporters said that would be the end of Trump! It's like these people didn't pay attention to the primaries.

        Helps explain Rick Wilson's disdain for Trump. Trump's slowing down the gravy train.

        plus, the demographic who even watches TV with ads anymore is quickly dwindling. It makes no sense.

        this is not a normal election season where voters are easily pursuaded to buy what the tv networks sell.
