I REMEMBER WHEN THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WAS THAT TRUMP WAS DOOMED BECAUSE HE WASN’T SPENDING BIG: Hillary Clinton plowed 68 percent of her campaign money into ads last month.
One of the things that Trump’s candidacy has done is shown that the political consultant/advertising business is largely a racket, and I suspect that this accounts for much of the visceral hostility that so many people in that business display toward him.
