Maybe he doesn't want to spend the money? It can't be that he's confident, that's ridiculous.
That has me wondering - what happens if there is still campaign money left over after the election? Is Trump able to keep it? Maybe he sees the writing on the wall that he won't win and wants to save as much money for himself as possible?

This is word of mouth information, but H read an article saying the support for Trump in Erie, PA was unprecedented. How unanimous it is throughout the city. I can't remember how exactly he worded it, but it gave me the distinct impressive Erie loves Trump.
So maybe it is because he's confident in those areas?

Stupid Jason Miller says on Twitter:
1/2 A few media buying updates on our increased media spend, which is growing by an extra $1M. State-by-state levels remain roughly same… 2/2 Our data-driven campaign is shifting resources from over-performing markets to new battlegrounds w/in the battlegrounds. Buy is growing.

I think he has "loaned" the campaign a lot of money. Typically, the loan wouldn't be paid back. However, if they have extra funds, his campaign could pay himself back like any creditor.
However, since we know he doesn't pay contractors what he agrees to if they don't meet his standards, should he really pay himself back if he loses?

IDK about the other states but Wilkes-Barre and Erie are a lock for Trump. Granted you have to get your people to the polls regardless of how favorable they're polling so pulling ads in FL and OH seems odd to me. Not that it matters in PA since that is looking pretty good for HRC. I can see not spending the money there.
ETA: I've been thinking about his campaign funds and if, with all the talk about him stiffing creditors and suppliers, the media buyers would insist on money up front. IDK how that works but I wonder if him simply not being able to pay the bills and them not extending credit is a factor.

Yeah, WB is where I grew up. It's always been red. It would really like to go back to the 1950s. When I was in university, I came to work at my local paper for a summer internship. When one of the lead guys found out that I went to said university, he told me it was a shame as I was taking a spot from a guy and walked away. Yeah. There's a reason I left the area and fast.

When does this take effect? I just saw a Trump commercial. I feel like this might be the first one I have seen. I have seen other Republican ads and Hillary ads but not sure I have seen a Trump ad. Full disclosure I often watch things from TiVo and so I skip all th ads.
