PAC Backing Hillary Clinton to Run $10.5 Million in Ads in Pennsylvania

[TexasTowelie]

A “super PAC” supporting Hillary Clinton will begin a $10.5 million advertising blitz in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state that Donald J. Trump is seeking to win by appealing to white working-class voters.

The wave of spending will begin on July 5 and run through Election Day, in the markets around Philadelphia, Scranton and Pittsburgh. The ad campaign brings the full amount that the PAC, Priorities USA, has reserved on television against Mr. Trump to $117.5 million, according to the group’s spokesman, Justin Barasky.

“This morning Donald Trump cheered a potential economic collapse because it would be good for his bottom line and compared running a country to running a golf course,” Mr. Barasky said, adding that the group was “determined” to keep him from becoming president.

With Pennsylvania added to its list, Priorities will be advertising in nine states. Mr. Trump has yet to air a general election ad, and the super PACs supporting him have not been running spots in battleground states.

3. It's good idea to start the ad in July because by then we'll know for sure that Trump is the nominee

7. PA?

We're pretty reliably D in terms of Presidentials, and we also were a pretty strong supporter of Clinton over Sanders.

I don't think we're too much of a risk. Perhaps 10M is worth it, but I'm not sure I'd go much beyond that. North Carolina, on the other hand...

8. I think that the polls have shown that it is a reasonably close race.

It probably doesn't hurt that Trump went to college there either, although I'm at a loss to see what he actually learned other than the art of the scam.

9. Trump lost my mom,

technically a historic Republican with weak party ties. She's voting for Clinton.

When you lose my older, white, well-off mom, you just lost PA.

Not to mention that every cycle, the Republicans make a play for PA and, every cycle, they lose. Philly is very hard to poll.

10. I just posted some news about a big ad buy in North Caroilina.

I give you credit for your clairvoyancy!
