nra just started one, but Hillary has many ads attacking Trump with his own words. I have seen one or two positive ads though.

And I see anti Trump ads dozens of times every day. I'm in Florida. I stream CNNgo, through Frontier Fios, though. I've gotten 3 phone polls in under 2 weeks, too.

The ones I have seen most often are negative, using trump's words against him. I have seen that one about his mocking the disabled reporter over and over. I put them on mute because I don't want to hear his voice!

I think some positive, upbeat ads would be a good idea.

7. I don't live in a swing state

99% of the people here don't even know what a "swing state" is (I live in NRW).

Back home, we can't--YET!!--be considered a swing state (Texas) either, but we're working on it!!!

I'd guess she's been running two negative ads for every positive one. The specific ads have changed over time, but at any time that's been about the ratio of ads in rotation. She seems to be running the negative ads more often though, so in terms of air time the ratio is more like 3 to 1.

12. I finally heard one of her radio ads on the #1 Arbitron station here in Philly this morning

which is the CBS-affiliate all-news KYW. It was the "Amanda" one about CHIP.

The rest of her ads have been a variety on tv although she may be running some on the music stations but I have mostly listened to my own playlists and SiriusXM vs local stations.
