I follow several teams on MLB Extra Innings, so I have the privilege of watching political commercials from a variety of states–some of them swing states. What I have noticed thus far is that, while the election has to be a referendum on Trump, the commercials aren’t playing that way. I haven’t seen a single ad talking about immigration, threats to liberal democracy, or the war.
Why is this? Maybe the candidates are just holding back for now. Maybe they think the issues are so obvious they don’t require further discussion. Maybe the Democrats don’t want to annoy Trump voters, and the Republicans aren’t proud of their record. I’m not really sure. We’ll see.
Data center ads are starting to pop up, however. More on one of those in my next post.
