Trump's Campaigning Strategy....
 |
| Campaign in Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday. |
As election time draws closer, we are all wondering why we haven't seen Trump's Presidential Election ads on television, or anywhere for that matter. According to recent reporters, like Maggie Haderman, and Bill Barrow, Trump has unlimited FREE media-coverage. Compared to his opponents, this is currently working for Trump, because he is leading the Republican Nomination polls with a +6.0 spread. Since the last filing of Campaign finances Trump has only spent "$2 million of his own money on his self-financed bid for office."(Haderman, P.19) However, according to Barrow, Trump claims that he has several television ads, ready to run "if he has to." Barrow writes "He said he'd initially planned to spend $20 million on advertising by this point, but argued there has been no need; he pointed to free media attention."(Barrow, P.5) Many claim Trump will get southern votes, because this is where voters tend to be more conservative, and most "distrustful" of central government. As the election goes on, Trump will have to soon use those ads, and start putting his campaign fund to use, if he's serious about becoming President. Media coverage alone isn't enough to put him in office, and most of it is slander, so why he hasn't put forth more effort towards campaigning is beyond me.
