Obviously can go 1 of 2 ways. Ahead in internals that doesn't need to spend money any more or its out of reach
Can anyone provide insight? What happens historically with this?
I always paid attention to where he is campaigning but not ads

he's up big
I think it is beginning to be more clear that money and ads do not have as much impact as it used to. Look at how little Trump spent to get elected versus Clinton. Look at how much money was spent by Steyer and Bloomberg to get zero support. It is just so much easier now for candidates to reach out to people than it was in days before the internet or when there were only three broadcasting networks. A while back you needed tons of money just to get any name recognition, those days are largely gone. As to Trump cutting ads, I would lean towards internal polling suggesting that they have gotten their message out and are either way up or as far up as they think is possible. In the real world, Trump is rich and probably could raise what he needed if he wanted to spend more or thought it would help.
Where is your source for claiming he has been cancelling these ads?
This, before discussion can be turned from blind speculation toward fact based debate/allusion.
2nd hand vs 3rd hand source is not necessarily reliable information, especially when the information originates from a suspected compromised source.
E.t.a. misread, you witnessed the potentially compromised source yourself. My bad.

Yeah sure its Newsweek but if Trump did it, does matter the reason.
LOL, FAKE NEWS!
Dude, just cause its Newsweek doesn't mean its Fake news. Others are reporting it too. Its not like they cant just fucking verify it instantly, this is something hard to fake
The whole headline is fake. Bring a legit source. End of conversation.

Is this a better source for you little faggot?
Well first of all, I reported you because name calling and homophobic slurs aren't acceptable here. Also, since you can't read, I'm a female. AND if you'd used a real news source you wouldn't have had to ask WHY because the REAL NEWS told you why. Maybe you learned something but I doubt it.
I'd say the first thing you suggested. Possibly using the budget to try to flip some blue/purple states.
My guess is that he is far enough ahead in these states.
Probably moving money to AZ, NV, WI, and MN.
It's a good question. He's still campaigning in NC though and he's doing better there than he was in Michigan for instance. Rumor is he has Ohio and Iowa locked up though. Who the hell knows.
The polls meant for public consumption are largely crap-bought by leftists to shape opinion, not to accurately report on it.
The internal campaign polls are the real deal.
Look at the behavior of the Biden campaign and democrat party and ask yourself if it comes across like a party that will win next month.
Likewise when has Trump been one to cut and run?
The last few weeks before the election in 2016 Trump was on fire-the hardest campaigning candidate I have seen. Hillary phoned it in.
I tend to look at things the opposite way. According to the polls, Biden is up eleventy hundred percent in MI, and James doesn’t stand a chance. But every commercial break, I see at least one commercial for Biden and one for Peters. That seems like desperation to me.
