Trump campaign off the air in Michigan is a telling indication of where the race is at now

It would seem Trump has abandoned Michigan.

As the story notes, spending patterns change and Trump could certainly return in Michigan. And if the race tightens, I'd sure think they would return. But the race isn't especially close right now, and that's the point

1. He needs those states (mi, pa and wi) to win. Spending more in states that are closer but wont

Make the difference, according to the 538 folks, is easy to think is a good idea, but very much is not.

3. He's been campaigning for four years.

What happened to his war chest?

4. He spent it all on hookers and adderall.

5. I think it got lost in the trump industry coffers

Somewhere

2. I posted about this the other day

I haven't seen a Trump ad in several days, still see Biden ones every day.

6. Prediction.

He will lose MI by 15 points.

MI will go heavily Democratic across the board on November 3rd.

7. Watch them start hoarding all the campaign funds now

They'll stop wasting $ on losing states that he could have hidden in some Argentine bank very soon.

The grifters will pack a bag.

8. I bet you are absolutely right! That will be his "win" in the face of a landslide Biden election

9. I'm old enough to remember how big a deal it was when McCain abandoned Michigan

In something like late September, early October 2008.

For the Trump campaign to pull ads from Michigan in ... ... ... JULY ... ... ... is absolutely beyond belief. Are they pouring it into Minnesota?

11. They know Michigan is gone.

10. Every dollar the campaign doesn't spend is a dollar

that can line the Trump family pockets.

I expect a lot of cutbacks in the next few months...

13. He's pissed through a lot of money

I think money on hand he is about par with Biden despite fundraising for the past 3 years.

Rich people don't donate to losers so the well is getting drier.

14. Not OFF THE AIR

Trump campaign halts new ad buys in Michigan

Ads paid for will run, as well as national ads.
