Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has unveiled the first television ad of his 2016 campaign.

The real estate mogul said in a statement that he now plans to spend roughly $2 million per week on television advertising. The video will start airing in the pivotal early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire Tuesday, the campaign says.

"The politicians can pretend it's something else, but Donald Trump calls it radical Islamic terrorism," a voice reads over pictures of President Obama and Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, as well as the San Bernandino, California, shooters.

"That's why he's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until we can figure out what's going on. He'll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."

Trump is leading national polls by a wide margin, but is locked in a tight battle with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa.

"I am very proud of this ad," Trump said in the statement. "I don't know if I need it, but I don't want to take any chances because if I win we are going to Make America Great Again."

Trump had already released radio ads in the first three voting states. Other major campaigns and super PACs have already spent millions of dollars on television ads in early states.

Gary Johnson vows to keep fighting, sets sight on second debate"

# data[].attributes.body
Since Gary Johnson was excluded for not having 15% national support requirement to be part of the debate, he is looking at the next debate and has high hopes of being able to be part of it. But, many people think that he has no chance being nationally supported only 9% and think he should dropout with his running mate, William Weld. They both say that they both don't feel the pressure to drop out. They do both think that all the independent parties have been excluded in everything and the two-party structure needs to be ruined for everyone to actually have a fair shot.

Now that he's been excluded from the first presidential debate, Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson is campaigning for a spot at the second one.

"You know, the clock does keep on ticking," Johnson said on CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday.

Johnson is still talking about becoming president even though political experts say there is no viable path.

And Johnson denied that he and his running mate William Weld are feeling pressure to drop out.

CNN commentator Carl Bernstein said on "Reliable Sources" that his sources indicate Weld is "thinking about dropping out of this race if it looks like he and Johnson might get Trump elected."

Specifically, Weld could "renounce his candidacy and go out and help Hillary Clinton," Bernstein said.

In a statement on Sunday afternoon, Weld responded: "Gary Johnson and I will campaign with all our strength to make that case to the American people from now until November 8th. Under no circumstances will our energies be diverted from our goal of winning the election and serving our country."

Weld attributed Bernstein's reporting to "wishful thinking on the part of the two-party duopoly."

The Libertarian party ticket is receiving 9% support nationally, according to CNN's latest Poll of Polls.

While this is far more support than the party has received in past presidential elections, it is not enough to meet the 15% threshold set by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

"We have got to establish criteria well in advance... We did that last fall," commission co-chair Mike McCurry said on CNN's "Smerconish" on Saturday.

The commission is a bipartisan group that organizes the general election debates every four years.

"For a year now, the campaigns have known that they have to reach that 15% threshold. Some members of our commission thought that was too low. Some thought it was too high. We had a long debate about it," McCurry said.

The criteria are applied before each debate, which means Johnson could conceivably be invited to the second and third debates if his poll numbers improve.

Johnson said on "Reliable Sources" that "70% of America right now doesn't even know I'm in the race."

Johnson and Weld will receive a close-up on the most-watched news program in the country, CBS's "60 Minutes," on Sunday night.

He said on CNN that the two-party structure in the United States "needs to be ruined."

"They have done this to themselves. They have become so polarized. Their only agenda is to kill each other."

Donald Trump said that he would spend $100 million on his campaign but with only 11 days left until the election, he's only spent $66 million compared to Hilary Clinton who has spent $62 million plus another $15 million from super PAC Priorities USA. Also, there are the online donors that have kept Donald Trump alive through his campaign. There are only a few ways that he could possibly spend that much money on a "lost cause" according to many experts. He could either hire last-minute organizers or, spend money to "beef up data capabilities" which, could take months to do . Trump could buy many TV ad slots in more expensive channels and invest in many radio slots, too.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
And even then, Republicans warn, it would not do much good.

Trump, the billionaire businessman whose outsider appeal was bolstered by his seeming ability and desire to self-fund his campaign, only gave $31,000 to his effort over the first three weeks of October. And on Friday, he wired another$10 million to his presidential bid, but declined when asked by Fox News to guarantee a $100 million total.

"I'm going to meet what I have to meet," he would only say.

As recently as Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee was insisting he wouldcross the $100 million threshold by the end of the election, something GOP allies have urged him to do for months to resuscitate his stumbling campaign and augment their capabilities on the air and the ground.

But even if Trump cut the massive check to hit the magic number -- and that's an enormous if -- it may be too late. He is essentially left with two bad options, observers say. He could try in vain to hire last-minute organizers or beef up data capabilities, but those fixed operations take months to develop.

Or he could write a check to fund a last-minute advertising barrage and come closer to parity with Hillary Clinton and her associated super PACs on the air -- a likelier scenario, but one with tremendous diminishing returns given the cost and availability of advertising slots with less than two weeks to go.

"It's much harder to scale up the turnout stuff because a lot of that is human capital. Can you find more people?" said Mike DuHaime, who has guided general election budgets at the Republican National Committee and for John McCain. "Putting a lot into the ground game at this stage is smart, but it's hard to do."

Trump's campaign has only $16 million on hand, largely thanks to his poor performance with the party's most elite donors, who only loaded $11 million into the high-dollar Trump Victory fund in the first part of October.

Clinton, meanwhile, has $62 million as of October 20, and her super PAC Priorities USA has an additional $15 million.

For Trump, this adds up to trouble for a candidate trailing or neck-and-neck in the swing states he needs to win in order to capture the White House, such as Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Given that Trump's path to 270 electoral votes is much narrower than Clinton's, the money deficit could easily prove fatal.

Trump has long been under pressure, both from donors and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, to write a sizable check to his campaign.

It's been a struggle to convince Trump to contribute more, though, and one source says there were a number of previous instances where Trump appeared poised to offer a cash influx but ultimately didn't write the check -- much to the frustration of his allies.

While Friday's contribution is a large sum, one fundraiser was expecting an even larger donation, in the range of $20 million. This person says it was becoming increasingly difficult to convince donors to give sizable contributions to the campaign, in part, because they pointed to the fact that Trump was barely funding his own campaign effort.

Small donors helping Trump

Yet Trump has been kept alive by online donors -- plus his willingness, no matter how elusive it seemed at points, to dig into his billions of net worth and independently finance a bid.

Trump in fundraising emails Thursday promised to triple-match his supporters' most recent contributions received through Monday -- and he notably did not include a $2 million cap on that match as he has on solicitations throughout the year.

"With Hillary Clinton dominating the airwaves thanks to her huge contributions from liberal elites, and all her media friends lying about me on TV all day, our final ad blitz needs to be huge," Trump wrote. "If you wait to contribute tomorrow, it will be too late, Friend. We need to buy more 30-second ad slots now."

And he repeatedly told CNN's Dana Bash on Wednesday that the $100 million total was still accurate, flatly dismissing any skepticism and even suggesting he could give "much more."

"I will have over $100 million in the campaign, and I'm prepared to go much more than that," Trump said.

Why didn't he give more? And spend it earlier?

Experienced Republican budgeters have for months stressed that cash that arrived too late in the campaign would have limited utility, and that guidance has been especially sharp for Trump given that he started the general election with no fundraising or data infrastructure.

GOP operatives have fretted since the summer about states where Trump can afford just a half-dozen aides in a swing-state; or where second-tier media markets in battlegrounds do not see any television advertising; or where the infrastructure for tracking early voting is dilapidated and under-funded.

The date long circles on Republicans' calendar: Labor Day, after which, they argued, Trump would begin to see diminishing returns to his money.

Trump did not begin television advertising until late into the summer -- ceding the airwaves to Clinton until the nominating conventions wrapped -- and still maintains a skeletal staff compared to the Clinton behemoth in Brooklyn.

Yet Trump has steadily donated $2 million a month to his campaign for virtually the entire race, smaller chunks than he gave to the campaign during the primary, when he was self-funding nearly entirely. And Republicans now stress that his ability to self fund -- widely celebrated and popular during the primary -- is now largely worthless with two weeks to go, if he even does so.

How to spend $44 million in 11 days?

Jim Bognet, a Republican strategist who bought ads for Mitt Romney in 2012 and has experience with self-funding candidates like David Dewhurst in Texas, said Trump could easily find a way to spend $44 million in a tiny timeframe -- but that money would be spent carelessly.

"If you don't care about price and efficiency, you could definitely spend tens of millions of incremental dollars in a presidential race in the last 10 days of campaign," he said. "In crowded swing state airwaves, it's hard to get incremental space on broadcast TV at this time in true battlegrounds."

Bognet had a few ideas for the Trump campaign. It could air television ads in second-tier states like Arizona or Utah -- red states where he's facing strong challenges from Clinton or independent candidate Evan McMullin -- or do massive national cable buys on pricey channels like ESPN. It could invest big in radio, a relatively available medium where Bognet recalls making reservations in 2012 just 24 hours before Election Day. Or Trump could pay for turnout calls in every particular language -- even up to on Election Day.

"The problem with all of this is it is super expensive," Bognet said. "So the closer you get to Election Day, the more crowded with other campaign and super PAC ads are, and often the harder it is to either get bang for your buck or placement."

Trump during the primaries touted his ability to win on the cheap, especially compared to candidates like Jeb Bush who went nowhere despite spending tens of millions of dollars. He seemingly lamented the political spending game Wednesday in the interview with Bash.

"In the old days, you'd get credit: If you would spend less money and have victory, that would be a good thing," Trump said. "Today, they want you to spend money."

Trump has also struggled to steer his donors to a viable super PAC behind his bid, like Clinton has with her Priorities USA. The National Rifle Association has been Trump's biggest defender on television, and a second PAC funded by the powerful Adelson and Ricketts families showed initial signs of progress earlier this fall, but neither has matched the Clinton juggernaut.

One new donor to Trump's super PACs: Silicon Valley titan Peter Thiel, who gave $1 million to the super PAC Make America Number One -- run by the powerful Mercer family -- after the filing deadline, according to a Thiel spokesman.

Many Republicans, at this point, don't expect the major injection of cash to happen. And in fact, a rich irony was thrust Thursday upon Trump, a candidate who has attacked Clinton for not investing more of her own money in his campaign.

It was Clinton -- with her $50,000 donation -- who was the biggest self-funder in October.

"Hilary Clinton wins third presidential debate, according to CNN/ ORC poll"

# data[].attributes.body
After the third presidential debate, CNN/ ORC had a survey of 547 registered voters about the debate regarding to who won. Hilary won when it came to the overall best job, better understanding of the issues, and was better prepared. Also, those surveyed people most of them thought that Hilary Clinton would handle the economy, federal policies, and federal budget better.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But Wednesday's debate watchers were closely divided on which candidate they trusted more on the issues most important to them.

Overall, 52% who watched tonight's matchup thought Clinton did the best job, to the 39% that thought Trump did. That's a tighter margin than in the first two debates. After the first debate, 62% of those who watched said Clinton won, 27% Trump, followed by a 57% Clinton to 34% Trump margin for the town hall debate held October 9.

Half of voters (50%) who watched Wednesday's debate said Clinton agreed with them more on the important issues, while 47% thought Trump did, but by wide margins, they thought Clinton had the better understanding of the issues, 61% to 31%, and was better prepared to handle the presidency, 59% to 35%.

Still, most said their minds weren't changed by tonight's debate, 54% of those who watched said it would have no effect on their vote, and those who did feel swayed were about evenly split between Trump (23%) and Clinton (22%).

Voters who watched were divided on who would better handle the economy (50% said Clinton, 48% Trump), immigration (50% Trump to 48% Clinton), or nominations to the Supreme Court (49% said Trump, 48% Clinton). Clinton held a narrow edge on handling the federal budget (50% to 46%) while she held a wide advantage as better able to handle foreign policy (55% to 41%).

Trump was again seen as spending more time on the attack, by a 60% to 23% margin, and more said his attacks were unfair (43%) than said so of Clinton's jabs at Trump (34%). Even among Republicans, 41% said they considered Clinton's attacks on Trump's fair, but Democrats were not nearly as accepting of Trump's attacks on their nominee (19% said his attacks against Clinton were fair).

Watchers were split on who was more sincere and authentic during the debate, with 47% saying Trump was and 46% seeing Clinton that way. Clinton had a clear edge on this question after the first debate, 53% to 40%.

Aside from partisanship, the poll suggests one of the sharpest demographic divides among debate-watchers is education among whites. White voters who hold college degrees said Clinton won by a 58% to 33% margin, while those who do not have a four-year degree say Trump won by a 48% to 41% margin. And the gap between these voters on which candidate agreed with you on the issues that matter most to you is even larger, with 59% of white college debate-watchers saying Clinton does while 61% of whites without degrees say it's Trump.

The CNN/ORC post-debate poll includes interviews with 547 registered voters who watched Wednesday's debate. Results among debate-watchers have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Respondents were originally interviewed as part of an October 15-18 telephone survey of a random sample of Americans, and indicated they planned to watch the debate and would be willing to be re-interviewed when it was over.

This cartoon is mocking the fact that the libertarian party doesn't get many votes and how they make up a very small amount of the votes. It mocks this my saying "we're the 1%" meaning that they make up one percent of the votes.

This cartoon is showing how not many people actually take Donald Trump seriously. The cartoon says that Donald Trump has "thrown his hat and nose into the ring" signalling the clown nose and hat. This means that the people think Donald Trump is just a clown and he couldn't possibly be taken seriously. This could hurt Donald Trump because people want a president that will think ahead and be a strong figure not a clown.

This cartoon is explaining how secretive Hilary is about her email scandal. She tries to avoid the questions about this scandal and apparently destroyed and/or hid the evidence of the email server hence all the chains and glass box along with the words "encrypted" and "top secret". This was a huge thing in the election because this scandal makes Hilary seem untrustworthy which would change many people's votes.
