Yeah, the fix is in, our ONE party system clearly wants Hillary.  The Republican Party is worthless.

The establishment democrats and republicans are one in the same. This election is a vote for the people or against the people.

They have focused on other means of spending though. I've been getting a Trump related flyer in the mail almost daily, and internet ad presence has been larger as well in my experience.

They have been keeping themselves in the spotlight despite only receiving half the funding as the democrats though. That's something.

That hardly justifies the massive inequality in TV ad spending.

Is Hillary getting $0 from the Democratic Party for TV ads?  Nope.

What are you getting at? Are you saying it's unfair that Trump hasn't gotten as many TV ads or something? Because I'm sure that was a choice his own campaign has made based on the effectiveness of other advertisement formats for their target demographic with the budget they need to work with.

If Trump had twice the campaign funds, which is more or less exactly how much Clinton has, you'd see him airing ads as well.

Neither has spent through their donations too much. It's been a far cheaper campaign than 2012 for both parties. The DNC might spend under budget and pay off some of its debts rather than merely accruing them.

"What are you getting at?"

The Republican Party is deliberating sabotaging their own candidate.

They gave Romney $42 million for TV ads in 2012 and they gave McCain $53 million in 2008.  They want Hillary to win, that's their candidate.

I'm pretty sure the Republican Party has money to spend, they just refuse to do so.

They have indeed already accepted his loss (they accepted it as soon as he took the nomination), is really a matter of statistics this far in. A better investment is in house and senatorial seats, which many law makers are preparing for a loss in Republican strength of as well.

50 million will not reverse his chances of (not) becoming president. But it can aid many in winning a house seat, a governorship, other positions.

Of course they haven't.  You don't think they want the gravy train to stop do you?

I think you're going to see a lot of Trump voters not voting for their Republican Congressmen.

It's going to be the ultimate kick in the ass for the Republican Party.

Hillary is running a conventional campaign like she has done many times in her life.

I feel like there is way waaaaay more republicans than trump supporters. There's a few extra that sat in the gray area that came for Trump but there's plenty more republicans that aren't voting this year because of him. If I were the republican party I'd just take the hit too.

I'd be utterly shocked if Trump won the electoral college even if he did win the popular vote.


Being said Trump is still campaigning. And the republican party has given him money. Not that he really needs it. The entire world is talking about that man running for the US president and the shit he has promised.

I think we are going to see that as well, the Republican party is ultimately going to be damaged from this election.

I don't think that's a bad thing though. It was surely needed. During the primary, you had 12 or 13 try hards willing to suck anyone's cock for several years to get the republican nomination and funding. They would literally say anything politically convenient with 0 regard for the words coming out of their mouths or the jizz going in them. People like that were the people guiding the conversation of the republican party for 4 years. The party as we knew it was long dead before the election really began.

It had no moral ground to stand on, no new policy ideas, zero willingness to open up to new demographics of any kind. I don't know what was worse for the republicans - Obama's presidency or the rise of "Tea Party" republicanism.

I saw a couple Trump ads on Sun. morning TV,
which was curious because there's no way he'll win in NY/NJ.

"more Republicans than Trump supporters"

The primary results show otherwise, he had the highest amount of votes as a Republican in primary history.

Everyone I know hates the Republican Party but is going to vote for Trump.

It's essentially like the Democratic Party, every Bernie supporter realizes that fact.
