re: #70 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

You could be right, but at this stage of the game, who do they make commercials against? This isn’t like selling toothpaste—in politics you have to advertise against somebody. So do you make a commercial that takes them all on: “Trump said this, and Cruz said that, and Rubio said something else….and so on and so on…they’re all idiots, and here’s why”?

Or do you make sixteen different commercials debunking all of them? Or do you make some inspiring statement of vague general principles? That would start to sound like those first Infiniti commercials that never mentioned the car.

I think they’re just waiting for things to settle out a little bit until there are only a few candidates to take on. Remember the Democrats are always going to have a small fraction of the money the Republicans do, that’s just a fact of life. Still, getting towards an election, it seems like total saturation on both sides, so maybe it doesn’t make as big a difference as the Kochs think it does. I hope….

I think they’re waiting for some kind of front runner to emerge. There really isn’t a true “Next in line” like there was with Mitt in 2012 and McCain in 2008 here.
