Sooo......what do you make of it?  I have yet to see one Trump anti-Hillary ad here in Texas.  Is he so arrogant that he assumes he has this election in the bag?

I've seen quite a few Hillary ads ... no Trump ads.

Trump don't need no freaking ads.

Remember this is the NYT's..they want you to believe he is pulling out and it is absolutely not the case....Trump is trying to save money on ad buys where he is ahead.
Supposedly the idea of having a "self funding" Billionaire running was that we didn't have to hamstrung by money against the mighty Clinton machine. Instead Trump is so darn (trigger warning) Scotch with his campaign money Clinton is outspending him bigly. This attitude that he is owed the election with its lack of ground game and lack of ads may cost Trump yuge on election day. If he really wants to win he'd be going full throttle.

I saw the first ad here in Ohio that I've seen just last night during the Indians' game (GO TRIBE!!).

Trump ain't working very hard to take this state.

Yes, but if Toledo is on the list and Rush says he's pulling out advertising because he's ahead in rural areas, then Rush is making things up.

Plus........ I grew up in Youngstown.  NO WAY is Trump ahead there.  They're as yellow dog Dem as yellow dogs get.

If the list is accurate, it's more likely that Trump is behind in those areas and conceding.

Everyone is forgetting Trump said he'd be the first guy to run and make money. Thats what he's doing. No sane pol pulls ads in a close election anywhere, especially after the week he had pissing off half his base.

I still say they run Romney. Trump bails, Romney is the only guy that makes sense for them. Been saying it for months now.

Oddly enough, I hope you're right.

Rush saying he is canceling these ad buys because he is way ahead in these rural areas..

Never thought I would say this, but I'm not buying anything Rush says now.  He may go down with the ship along with Hannity.

I don't. He's no better than Trump or Clinton. Unless one likes trading wins for more abortion for him to continue profiting from.

Completely agree.

I turned from FM to AM to see if the Indians' coverage had begun yet and heard Rush for about 30 seconds before I turned him off.

The fact that he has revealed that he doesn't actually believe in Conservative principles makes every single thing he says suspect.

He's jumped the shark this time, and I'll be shocked if he recovers.

Hannity's a sure thing.............. but not nearly as respectable in the first place, so no big deal.

I have trouble believing that.
Not all of these areas are "rural".
These are next weeks ads with 4 weeks to go, right?
Now, with the hurricane, it would make sense for both candidates to pull ads for a week, as their won't be any power on for people to see them.
It would be a waste of money.

While it's weird that Trump is not buying advertising, the fact is that the press gives him free ads every day.  He says something outrageous... they report it.  He is the headline story on Yahoo this morning for example. 

Hillary says nothing (which is just as well for her).  Donald can't shut up.  Donald gets the free pubicity.

I'll never listen to Rush again, nor take anything he ever says about Conservatism as being worth listening to.

He proved himself an apostate to the very things he preached all these decades.

He sold out - to a NYC liberal Democrat he is excusing and passing off as a Conservative hope against Hillary.

May he indeed go down with his ship.

Agree with every word.  Nothing he says henceforth about Conservatism will be believable.

He doesn't believe the words he has said for decades.  Whether or not he ever did, I'm not sure we'll ever find out, but he sure doesn't now.

If, by some strange miracle, Romney is nominated, I will ask you what your issues with Romney are.

Right now, it doesn't matter.

It's "dawning" on little Donny that this entire affair was an exercise in Narcisissm and he basically pissed away tens of millions of dollars on this whole thing for jack squat?
