Arizona is supposed to be an important state to Trump's re-election, but the campaign isn't spending any money there. In fact, they canceled their ads in Phoenix, and may not make another buy until October.
See the whole story at Daily Kos.
No ads during convention week. Going dark in Arizona. Tell you anything?
Have a nice weekend. Rest up. And on Tuesday, let's get cracking! Eight weeks to go.

(25,383 posts)I don't know if he's "short of cash". I don't think many campaigns have unlimited resources.
He apparently hasn't been spending much in Texas either, citing the fact that he thinks he's got TX wrapped up.
I do know, the local flag company can't keep up with Trump flag demands. And this flag company sells expensive flags, not the cheap stuff that you see on Amazon.

If he's losing in Texas, it's already over for him, because that would mean he's losing in many of his must win states.

(25,383 posts)I think he's putting most of his resources in the upper mid-west.

(32,778 posts)Hell take TX and probably FL unfortunately, but that wont give him 270 without WI& PA

(54,408 posts)Adelson, the Kochs, Mercers, Pickens, they have enough billions behind them to make up any shortfall. If they are pulling out of Arizona temporarily, it is probably because they are (wisely) writing off McSilly in the Senate, and will return to concentrate on winning the state's electoral votes later on.

President Lawsuit as a Business Model is raiding the campaign kitty for his personal legal bills. Apparently his supporters and other repubs are just fine with that.
