DETROIT (WKZO-AM) — Hillary Clinton is returning to Michigan one more time before next Tuesday, penciled in for a get out the vote rally in Detroit on Friday.
Her campaign has also resurrected her TV ad buys in Michigan using part of the windfall of cash that poured in following the latest E-mail flap to fund new ads in three other states as well.
They had pulled their TV money out of Michigan when she was ahead by double digits in the polls.
They are letting Donald Trump do their commercials. In one spot you see the faces of children watching Trump be Trump. The other features some of his more memorable quotes, with a narrator questioning whether it was presidential.
. Soon after the Clinton ad-buy was announced, the Trump campaign announced it would also be stepping up its broadcast schedule in Michigan and 10 other states.
Pollsters say Michigan appears to be solidly among Clinton’s collection of blue states, but polls show it getting tighter in the last week.
Do the polls have it all wrong about who is going to win the presidential race in Michigan next week? Many republicans think so.
A number of party officials say Trump supporters have never been on the radar or never voted before are going to emerge and push Donald Trump over the top next Tuesday.
They point at Bernie Sander’s poll defying win over Clinton in the spring primary as proof it can happen. But Pollster Bernie Porn says that election was tossed off kilter by a surge of millenials voting for Sanders.
Porn, with EPIC MRA says the fall vote will have a much more predictable turnout and they have since adjusted their formula to account for any surprises.
The Clinton campaign isn’t the only Democratic campaign using Donald Trump in their ads.
A similar strategy is being used against Congressman Fred Upton has been working hard to avoid any linkage between himself and Donald Trump, saying he planned to focus on his own campaign instead.
A new ad hitting the airwaves sponsored by Democratic opponent Paul Clements would have you believe that Upton is a Trump clone and has been for years.
