Here we are in the general election, and it still doesn’t really feel like the general election — at least when it comes to the presidential campaign advertising landscape. Or maybe, more accurately, it halfway does, with Team Clinton doing the overwhelming amount of spending.
Donald Trump’s campaign got a lot of media attention in mid-August when it released its first TV ad of the general election — a 30-second spot on immigration contrasting “Hillary Clinton’s America” and “Donald Trump’s America” — and then a bit more buzz when a similarly templated ad focusing on the economy was released a couple weeks later.
