Hillary is creaming Trump on the radio with 15 times as many ads in the last ten days of October

Inside Radio reports here:

In terms of actual spot numbers, that’s 18,791 for the Democratic candidate and just 1,245 ads for the Republican nominee. The study covers 85 markets across the country.

Through October 28 Hillary has outspent Trump on TV and radio 2.75 to 1

From Advertising Age's 37th installment on campaign spending to date:

But for now Sec. Clinton and pro-Clinton PACs are miles ahead of Mr. Trump and pro-Trump PACs in the TV-and-radio ad game. The tally right now (including primary season and the general election): $436.4 million spent by Clinton and her allies vs. $158.5 million spent by Trump and his allies -- $594.9 million in all.

Through mid-September Clinton had outspent Trump on television 5.85 to 1

Reported here:

According to a Bloomberg analysis, through Sept. 13, Clinton had spent $109.4 million on TV ads, compared to $18.7 million for Trump. Clinton hit the airwaves two months sooner than Trump. 

Steve Gruber was a boor to Nicole Gelinas this morning

They had an argument over Gelinas' thesis that Trump's fiscal policies are stimulative like Obama's and will dramatically widen deficits without spending cuts.

When Gruber gave her the last 20 seconds he talked over her response instead.

Bad form old boy.

Trump hasn't yet run one radio ad in my market in Michigan

I listen to talk radio pretty much non-stop during the election season, and here in western Michigan Trump actually visited today for the first time in a month but I haven't heard one ad on the radio this week for Trump, let alone one ad on the radio in any other week in the last 30 days.

He's not going to win Michigan that way. Not without the western counties that all went for Ted Cruz. By eschewing the radio waves here Trump shows me he's not serious about winning Michigan. He keeps asking for money, but never seems to spend it on the one thing which could spread the enthusiasm present at his rallies to the older Republican base.

I think Trump will lose Michigan and simply wasted his time coming here today, mistakenly continuing to practice what's been appropriate to the primary strategy when the general election requires something more.

Clinton's Real Clear Politics polling average tonight in Michigan is +6.3.

John Kass asks, Is the country more important to Democrats than power?

Here:

The best thing would be for Democrats to ask her to step down now. It would be the most responsible thing to do, if the nation were more important to them than power. And the American news media — fairly or not firmly identified in the public mind as Mrs. Clinton's political action committee — should begin demanding it.

Oh look, a deer: NY Times' Nicholas Kristof tries to change the subject from Hillary's scandals to poverty

Now back to the nefarious reasons not to vote for Hillary.

Weiner laptop contains 650,000 e-mails to examine, thousands of which come from or go to Hillary's private server

Hm, if the Weiner's got 'em, then a lot of people got 'em.

Reported here:

Metadata on the laptop suggests there may be thousands of emails sent to or from the private server Clinton used while she was secretary of state.

FBI is incompetent and late to the game: Trump speculated Weiner was a security risk two months ago

Tens of thousands of e-mails belonging to Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin found on her estranged husband's computer

Oops! That'll take a while to sort out. Expect nothing before the second Tuesday in November.

Meanwhile Hillary's more upset the discovery is interfering with her election chances than she is that it happened in the first place. With Hillary Clinton, national security is always secondary to what really matters.

The situation is not unlike 2008 when a black man just came out of nowhere and stole the nomination from her. Somebody call the cops!

Reported here:

A senior law enforcement official said that tens of thousands of emails belonging to Ms. Abedin were backed up on Mr. Weiner’s computer, which the F.B.I. had obtained as part of its investigation into Mr. Weiner. Mr. Comey said in his letter to Congress that he did not know how long it would take to review the emails. Law enforcement officials said they did not know if and how many were duplicates of emails discovered in the earlier investigation.

Flashback to 2006: Senator Hillary Clinton was upset the US didn't rig the Palestine election so that Fatah had won instead of Hamas

From the newly unearthed audio here:

Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).

“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

I wonder who at the FBI threatened to out Comey unless he did this?

Rod Dreher, popularizer of ideas, accuses Claes Ryn, a bona fide intellectual, of misunderstanding him, and declines to elaborate

Good move, Rod. Run, retreat. Benedict Option!

Here:

"I started to undertake a point by point refutation of Ryn’s specious claims, but then realized that it would be pointless."

Today's advance estimate of GDP for 3Q2016 at 2.9% actually looks pessimistic

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in June reduced their forecast of 2016 GDP from 2.1-2.3% in March to 1.9-2.0%.

Today's estimate means the average report of GDP in 2016 is now 1.7%.

It'll take a lot more than today's 2.9% to get us up to 2.0% for the year.

Boston Globe says Trump travels twice the distance Clinton travels, takes fewer days off, but Hillary criticizes Trump for taking time off to dedicate his new hotel

Here:

He’s racked up more than 276,000 miles since he officially announced he was running for president on June 16, 2015. She’s tallied 256,000-plus miles since April 12, 2015, when she formally announced her candidacy.

In recent weeks, Trump has traveled considerably more miles — about double the distance Clinton has logged.

Trump has also taken fewer days off from traveling, according to the National Journal data. He’s traveled on just over half the days since he announced he was running. She’s traveled on about 39 percent of days since throwing her hat in the ring.

He comes as close as a Catholic can to recommending that conservatives stand and fight.
