Without a network or production company, there's no real place in ads for Trump to pay his own companies with campaign money. So that's why they stopped their week long foray into actual campaigning, Trump found out some underling was trying to win instead of trying to funnel all the money to Trump.

I saw a sponsored Trump post in my Instagram feed this morning. I am an extremely liberal voters who lives in Hawaii. Whatever ad money Trump's campaign is spending, they're spending it wisely.

Donald Trump honestly believes that all publicity is good publicity and doesn't see the point in buying ads if every time he opens his mouth it ends up in the news cycle anyway.

Gyges posted:I have issues with volunteering for the local Democratic Party because their a bunch of loving idiots. Also the first time I showed up to help out in 2008 I was accused of being a Republican Plant by a noticeable group of old white ladies. loving white people can't even not be lovely to other white people. Ultimately local committees are going to be dumb if the smart folks don't join them. It's not hard to change the committee from the inside. I've found that competence and hard work make you friends fast. Or, as a nuclear option, brigade the committee and take it over. Show up at their reorganizational meeting (held every two years I think) and they'll probably have to let you in or at least force a vote among folks in your precinct to let you in (which you win by bringing your homies and stacking the deck). For best results, do this with all your buddies and take over the committee, electing yourself Chair. Air is lava! posted:What's the usual delay of tracking opinions in polls? If Trump says something worse than ever before, how many days would it take to see a dip in his ratings? (If we'd assume anyone who decided to vote for him could still change their mind.) I mean in theory you could see it in overnights, but realistically it takes close to a week to get the results, have them analyzed, release the poll, and have it show up in the polling averages.

Also there's the possibility that all of his 2016 race money, regardless of if he wins or loses, will be gone depending on how big of a bite his Trump U or whatever legal problems take out of him. But I honestly hope a miracle truly occurs and the GOP tries to sue him for some reason. I want to see the biggest clown carnival ending for this election ever.

Romney's secret polls had him winning with minimal GOTV or ground game and I bet Trump has some ultra secret polls that have him at 105% already so he can just coast. I remember hearing Trump was totally this time for sure going all in with ads and made some buys for a couple of days before giving up.

Thankfully the alt right is made up by a base that is inherently lazy and selfish. Can you imagine any of them going door to door canvassing or, hell. doing literally anything that takes work but doesn't bring them instant gratification? Trump will not have a GOTV program at all.

Trump's concept of black outreach is to brag as though he already has the black vote sewn up. It's like The Secret, where the path to get from A to B is to pretend you're already at B. Clearly he's being advised that he needs to broaden his base, and he's sort of listening to that advice, but he absolutely categorically only ever speaks the language of hyperbolic self-praise, so we get... this.

Ciaphas posted:I dislike trump as much as anyone here but are we really doing the book cover thing on his doctor The medical world is way, way behind on IT and security in general. I used to work with an electronic health record system that worked with ActiveX browser components and IE8 was the order of the day because guess what, that's the latest thing supported on XP. It's probably a majority of the install base for medical providers. Most of the smart ones are running it in a sandboxed Citrix environment though. The medical world is terrible on security though. Like "being able to access the EHR from the guest wifi, which the doctors are using to connect their tablets because the official wifi won't let them connect their devices" type bad. Or being able to connect to wifi-enabled drip pumps and alter settings using the default manufacturer password type bad. Enjoy getting your next pacemaker, those aren't secure either.

Lord Hydronium posted:The only thing Trump's ever let go were his employees and waistline. We are talking about a man who is still smarting over an interview in the 80's that mentioned his hands (in a turn of phrase that he completely failed to recognize). Augus posted:Maybe a better place to start with this black outreach would be letting blacks vote. Just a thought. "Black outreach" never meant to get a single black person to Trump's side (see: the stereotypes that form the foundation of his efforts). It was all to get some of the white Republicans too squeamish about his open racism to have an excuse to join in. Any actual black person being fooled would be a bonus, but nothing more. Like any other Republican, he knows that black people voting in general means bad things for them, so it's all "voter fraud" all the time.

While a failed mock primary campaign could have made him a few bucks, becoming the nominee may very well destroy him in the end, or at least, lose him a tremendous amount of money as no one will want to be associated with the brand in any form when he loses: Republicans will hate him since he lost, Democrats will hate him since he's Trump and he's endangered many of his overseas investments with his rhetoric (e.g. see UAE response to him).

Haha whooaaaa there buddy, it's not about depriving blacks of the right to vote, it's about ensuring there's no voter fraud! That's why we commissioned a study into black voter voting habits and cancelled all the stuff they use the most, and now the only valid ID to vote is a form that you can only get from a BMV located in white communities! Oh and don't forget to bring some money, if you want to vote you need to pay (for the ID)!

I honestly think Trump straight up doing nothing would make his poll numbers rise the most at this point. He can't not hurt his campaign, so just shut down the rallies and his Twitter. Let the media scrutinize Clinton without him hogging the spotlight any time the news gets half critical.

Polls are a reflection of enthusiasm for the campaign, people who aren't hyped for the candidate at that particular moment are less likely to sit and answer a poll. The rallies/tweets are keeping his base engaged. Total silence wouldn't sway any new voters and would depress the base.
