The Trump campaign is paying $400,000 to run ads in the DC area, an area that Trump stands no chance of winning. But the ads are running on channels Trump watches.

The campaign has become Trump's emotional support animal.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Isn't that what John Oliver did? Running ads on FOX in the DC area to make sure the president got his message? :D

Lots of people have.  The article mentions ads run by the NeverTrump ex-Republicans Lincoln Project, which has drawn a few angry tweets from Trump himself.

Ah the Lincoln Project. You should check out their youtube channel sometime if you want to see what they regularly subject the President to.

Yeah. And that's how pathetic Trump has become: both his supporters and his detractors have realized that they can directly target him by running ads in a very precise location.

Stephen Miller is reportedly writing Donald's speech on race relations.  :lol:

Please God let this be true.

Say Trump's polls go into full meltdown over the next few weeks, trailing 20 points or so behind Biden. Is there anything the Republicans could do to hand the nomination to someone else by the end of August?

Short of persuading the Donald to refuse the nomiination, I think it's impossible.

Slightly different from when Obama was president.

I don't know, for some reason each put a tall geeky white guy in the middle front row.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
