That's an amazing Ad buy. Brought to you by house democrats and their hoax impeachment which coincidentally netted the campaign $10M in just 2 days. This will be just before the Iowa Caucus. Trump sure knows how to work the media to his favor.



It will be interesting to see what he says.


Trump Campaign Spends $10 Million On 60-Second Super Bowl Ad


Meanwhile, nobody is talking about the hapless Democrat candidates.

Doesn't that seem like a ridiculous amount of money to spend considering the fact that it's not like a 60 second commercial is going to sway anyone who isn't going to vote for Trump?

Seems like he could do something more worthwhile with the 10 million, and no I'm not like one of those people that are like "why don't these rich celebs give their money to the homeless?" I get that this money is Trump's campaign and that's what the money is for, but 10 million on a 60 second commercial seems like a waste.

Who knows what type of message the ad will broadcast but we do know whatever it is it will be denounced by the Left.



Trump could say that he is not running for reelection and the Dems would be critical of him.

30-60 second commercials sway people daily to provide just 5 quarters a day (30 days at a time) to save the lives of animals......

No one goes into those commercials saying "no way am I going to spend 5 quarters a day on animals" cut to 60 second later "SIGN ME UP!"

Sure, there may be some people on the fence about Trump and maybe the commercial will reach them and push them over, but honestly I can't see it. Trump is a polarizing figure. Seems like you either love him (too much?) or hate him (too much?) and I can't see 60 seconds of ad time changing a hater to a voter.



But WTF do I know??

lol - ditto for me, but Trump's campaign folks have done the math, and think its worthwhile $$ spent. They aren't trying to reach the haters, they're after the maybe/maybe nots

That 60 seconds may make them look a little harder...(see my hoarders comment above)
