I Do Not Normally Come To The Politics Board

Why waste money in a state he’s guaranteed to win?

I'm in Texas so Trump is a lock and I don't see much in the way of adverts for the presidential run.

Mostly I see Cruz vs. Allred.

I'm surprised you're seeing Trump ads at all.

There are studies that out of all of the trump ads, the one with Charlamagne tha God about sex change operations and men playing in women sports is the one ad making black people say “aww, hell naw”

In other words, Trump is targeting black voters in Alabama

Interesting!

I don’t know why he would be running ads in Alabama - I guess it’s a national ad which might be cheaper than a local targeted ad that would have been bought by your local abc affiliate

A lot of times, it’s actually more expensive to run Local ads then just doing a nationwide ad (depending on market size)

For example:
Fox5 in Atlanta runs Trump ads that are targeted for Georgia. Those ads get bought through Fox5 Atlanta and they are very expensive where if Trump wanted to run a national ad, then it might actually be cheaper purchasing through the actual FOX Network That would run on all FOX affiliates. This is probably what you are seeing in this GA - TX game - a nationwide ad purchased through ABC

...."Kamala has plans to helps us"

When has anyone every heard her fricking plans?!?!

All she's offered is some bullshite about growing up in a middle class family and MUUUHUH billionaires paying taxes. Total crap

You'll have to elect her to know what her plans are.

The trans thing is moving the needle bigly - the commercial insertions are going nationwide - big spend…

The “Kamala is for they/them, Trump is for you”, one ?

That’s a great fricking ad and a top 5 all time political slogan.

Sort of, it depends on the market (both pricewise and how many stations you are wanting to run your extra ads on). Stations/networks, by FCC regulation, can charge only the "lowest unit charges" for political ads of legally qualified candidates. In other words, they can only charge their cheapest rates for a given package or time slot. LINK

Nationwide network 30-second ads on ABC daytime can go from $50k-$200k (depending on time slot) while a 30-second commercial playing on WBRZ can go for anywhere from hundreds of dollars to a few thousand dollars.

That said, if you're wanting to focus more ads on a specific state, you're going to want to layer in ads purchased to run on local medium and large markets in that state (whether those are for individual stations or regional buys).
