Interesting that the Smartphones we hold in our hands nowadays are about the same size (slimmer, of course) as those 50s 60s Transistor Radios we carried around back in the day. TuneIn radio is a cool free app. Also, iheart radio. Of course, Apple itunes are some popular radio apps.

In Search of...

Why Is

Donald Trump's Official 2016 Presidential Campaign

Not Running

Election Campaign

TV Ads

in Michigan?
(Update: Donald Trump Campaign as of Thursday, September 1st Is Now Running Election Campaign TV ads in Michigan).


We Have 16 Electoral Votes.
We are a Battleground,
Swing-State in
Presidential Contest.
One of 3 or 4 possible and probable key swing states that could...
Decide
Whom the next President of US is.

Plus...

The Republican Party was

Born...
In Michigan...July 1854, Jackson, Michigan at Under The Oaks on Morgan's Forty.
First Official Convention.
First Official Platform.
First Official Republican Candidates Nominated.
The Big Three.
Oh,
Did
I
Mention...
Abraham Lincoln...
I Rest My Case.

Donald Trump Won Michigan's 2016 Republican Presidential Primary and

Is the

Nominee of the 2016 Republican Party.
What Gives?

Where are the Campaign TV ads?

Don't Get It.

It Don't compute.

What in Sam's Hill is Goin' On?

On the Other Hand...

Hillary Clinton's Official 2016 Presidential Campaign Has Been Running Election Campaign TV Ads for...

Weeks and Weeks in Michigan.

Also, Haven't heard Trump or Clinton on  A.M. Radio Ad Buys, either.
Possible they are on Michigan A.M. or F.M, XM Sirius Radio stations that I don't listen to.
Local AM and FM radio are very cost-effective solutions for Michigan political campaigns.

Heard one of the Michigan Presidential Primary Candidates on the Radio constantly in the weeks preceeding the March 2016 Michigan Presidential Primary.
Didn't win Michigan's Presidential Primary, but did pretty darn good.
Wonder if local radio played a role in that?

While driving in their vehicles, Michigan citizens listen to something and alot of times its the raydidio (funny expression for radio from back in the day).
Radio plays in waiting rooms if TV isn't possible.
TV plays, too, in certain customer waiting environments.

Still...Today, in a Wi-Fi, Smartphone world...
In 2016...
Television is still...
The Big Kahuna (an old time saying).

T.V.

is still

the Most

Popular

Form of Media in

2016...along with Radio, of course.

The "Picture Show"(as they called it in the Golden Years of The Silver Screen)...the
Movie Theatre.
Still fun...

They even have Ads and Commercials running before the Main feature at the movie theaters. Saw some local businesses...auto dealers, restaurants...etc. advertise on the theater screen.

Television travels...
Across all Demographics.
All.
That's Huge!

For Example,

Nowadays, Lots of People have 1, 2, 3 or more TVs in different areas of their households. Bedrooms, kitchens...heck, probably garages, too!

TV is Extremely User Friendly...Fancy Pants Word for

Easy to Use!

The Remote Control is the Original Computer mouse, if you get my drift.

Heck, the 1st Remote Control I remember using had a long chord attached at the bottom of the Remote Control, the chord ran many feet across the floor, to the TV across the Room. TVs were in Nice Wood enclosures, looked like furniture, and had glass tubes for Screens. 25 inch Screens. Some TVs were "color" tvs which meant you could watch TV programs in color if they were filmed that way.
First shows I remember in color were Bonanza and The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights.
That was Awesome for us Sixties kids (cartoons)...and parents, too!
Seem to remember everything else on Tv in those days past was viewed in black and white.

Back to Remote Controls...ease of use...
Batteries goin' bad (easily replacable) and lost remote syndrome (you, too?)

...how did the remote get over there? You know what I'm talkin' about.

Push Remote's On button, start surfing the Television channels.

It don't get no simpler than that.

Heck, these remote controls withstand almost any form of punishment, nowadays.
Still can't figure out why dogs like to chew on them!

If the Remote Control breaks, we can always get up off the couch (oh, no...not that!) and Push Buttons on the Tv...like the 1950's and Sixties.

Anyhoo, Back to importance of TV.

A Majority of us still rely on our Great Local News stations for locally flavored news, weather, sports...etc. Those local stations and reporters are wonderful and positive.

Hillary Clinton has been running ads on some of the local news stations for weeks.

Also, alot watch the Sunday Morning Political shows on the original 3 Tv networks ABC, CBS, NBC in Michigan.

Hillary Clinton has been running ads on some of these shows.

Also, as local news segues into 6:30 evening news programs on ABC, CBS, NBC Hillary Clinton has been running ads for weeks.

Traditionally...

A Presidential Candidates Ad buy on TV is Responded to By the Other Party Candidate for President.

That's our Experience.

Not everyone See's the rallys by Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton.

Eveyone sees the Political Commercials.
Does get tiresome after awhile, doesn't it?
Like everyone, can't wait till the election is over.
You, too?

Wonder what the Cable TV Views/News talking heads will talk endlessly about then?

Sure they will give their opinions, talk over and interupt the opposing view(if they even have an "opposing viewpoint" opposite theirs.)
Gotta get that commercial in the time alotted, probably.
It does pay the networks bills...and salaries.
Makin' the big bucks, as they used to say.
Must be nice...
to have a job that can't be outsourced.
They ought to walk a mile in our Michigan shoes...
then
give their opinion.
Just sayin'!

Anyhoo...

Some TV Commercials are Memorable...
and Some...
Extremely Memorable from Sixties and Seventies.
Maytag Man.(My Generation)
It's Not Nice to Fool With Mother Nature.(heck, 50 yrs ago...can't remember the product.)
Palmolive Dish Liquid (Madge says, You're soaking in it (manicure).

Consumer Purchasing Habits are Influenced because they learn about the advertised product(s) in Tv Ads.
Yupper!
Commercials Make a Difference.
Ask Darren Stevens (Ad Guy) on Bewitched Tv Show (My Generation. Elizabeth Montgomery was Awesome!)
Ask any Grocery Shopper.
Ask any buyer, purchaser of goods and services in Our Great USA.
Ask Madison Avenue.

Marketing and Advertising.
Quick, to the point.
Audio and Visual.
Best points of product.
Nowadays with a little humor added.
Something that makes the goods, services or product "stick to the brain"...memorable...
Why the product is different than all the rest.
Healthier, economical, safer, luxurious...etc.
All done in 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds.

Somehow this helps us remember

What to Choose...

When We Decide.

Promotes Consumer Spending.

Makes the Wheels of the American Economy Rock and Roll Forward.
Fueled by...Good Payin' Jobs.
...and the Big Wheel keeps on Turning.
What a Great Combo.

In Michigan, the Motor Vehicle Capital of the World...
Where...
Ford Motor
General Motors
Chrysler were Born.
Blue-Collar, White-Collar...whatever collar.
We Like those darn Car and Truck commercials.
Know Why?
Because We Build Them...And...
Buy Them.

And We Want Our
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs to
come
Back Home to
Michigan.
Who Can Renegotiate / Negotiate the Greatest Trade Deals for Michigan and The U.S.

Michigan.

Been Ramblin' On...
Back to The Importance of Michigan Presidential Campaign Ads.


Michigan Presidential Campaign Tv Ads and Other Michigan Political Position Campaign TV ads are Viewed by Most Everyone in the Great State of Michigan.

They are an extremely important facet of any Presidential campaign.

Most people have limited time, if they're working raising a family, in a shop, factory, office, various working environments, running a small or even large business...etc.

You get the drift.

Plopping down in front of the tube at the end of a hard day and relaxing is an enjoyable (usually, if something is good on tv that night...Thank you, DVR.)
TV is part of the American Popular Cultural Experience.

Always has been,
always will.


Bernie Sanders Won Michigan's Presidential Primary.
Hillary Clinton Won The Democrat Nomination For President 2016.
She Has Visited Michigan Many Times.

Hillary Clinton is Running Campaign Ads on Michigan Tv Stations.

Donald Trump Won Michigan's Presidential Primary.
Donald Trump Won The Republican Nomination For President 2016.

Too easy to listen to the opinion makers on cable news.

We were taught that in school, college, at home.
We decide.
One great place is (drum roll, please...)
the Official Presidential 2016 Campaign Websites! Gotta love the internet!
Official Donald Trump Issues Website

Official Donald Trump Positions Website

Official Hillary Clinton Issues Website

The candidates websites are the "Horse's Mouth" (old school term).
The correct information
Not parsed by opinion on Cable news TV.
They're making the big bucks speaking their opinions.
Their jobs didn't get outsourced.
Ours did.
We are the voters and we form our own opinions.
Our opinions are equally important.
Start at Square One...
The Candidates Websites.
Watch the candidates official videos of their rallies, speeches...etc. Visit their Twitter, Facebook and other social media pages.

Your town, city, state.
Our great Country.
Then...US Manufacturing was over one-third of GDP.... Gross Domestic Product... with
Plentiful Good payin' jobs, Smooth roads, Social Security, Medicare and other citizen's  Federal, State, Local, services financial foundations beautifully funded because of the Number and Quality of Good Paying Manufacturing Jobs and the 7 or 8 other great jobs created upstream or downstream in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and all of our States.
Now...Manufacturing is barely over One-Tenth of GDP.
That's a huge drop.
Huge.

These trade deals have decimated some of our communities thanks to over 25 years of trade deficits with some major trading partners. Free trade is fine. If it's fair. And everyone plays by the rules...
and the rules are...
enforced.
Common sense:
Surplus good
Deficit bad.
We hear it all the time.
Our states have to balance their budgets.
The Federal gov't talks about balancing the budget.
Why hasn't the ever-lovin' Trade Deficit over the past decades been prioritized and resolved?
Not an economist,
however...
Common Sensically...
It's highly probable and possible
A Balanced Trade with all of our trading partners could manifest itself into the
Greatest Good-Payin' American Job Creator!
Everyone Wins...
Especially, the Good Old U.S.A.
That means Us, the citizens and future generations!
Finally, finally, finally there has been discussion in 2015 and 2016 Presidential Election about remedies to our Trade Imbalances.
Specific, Specific, Specific
Solutions.
Renegotiation, a better deal, new deal, strength at bargaining table, one by one country negotiation, tariffs, taxes, penalties, company incentives...etc.

Trade is one of the most important election campaign issues in Michigan (if not the most important). Who can get the J.O.B done quickly will Win the Hearts and Minds of Michigan voters...and will win Michigan's 16 electoral votes in 2016.
Count on it.
Where would a President Trump or President Clinton be on trade? What are Dem GOP nominees Trump Clinton fixes and solutions on Nafta, TTP, TTIP trade deals?

Hey you Heavy Cats...Can You Dig it?

The Number One Song and Album On
The Politics Hit Parade in the
United States
and
Number One
For over a Year and Sales are still increasing...Soaring...never seen this before...this suckers gots some legs, man in Michigan,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Virginian, Florida...more states are being added to the list as this is written.
...the envelope please...
Number One...
"Oh, Who Will Give US...a New Deal...in Trade Deals...'cause It's a Big Deal" (and We'll Vote For Them!) People relate to the title since 6 Million jobs and 55,000 Manufacturing Plants have been lost since the Turn of the Century in America.

Number One hit is by...
The Everybody's Voting In The USA 2016
Big League Band Medicine Show.

The Everbody's have always realized, understood, the importance of Bringing Back Our Jobs Now, not later.
It's The Number One Issue in the US.
There is finally Music and Lyrics to it.
Dig it!

New song is from The Everybody's Gold and Platinum Number One Selling Album
titled:
"The Ballad of The Outsider vs. The Establishment"
on
Made in USA Records.
(The record labels had some rough times over the last 25 years...but you can't keep a Great Record Label Down!)

Tracks on the Album include:

2.Where or Where (Did My Factory Go?) segues into
a. GreenSpace Blues

3.(I got them old) Pothole Blues (and so does my wheels!)

4. It Was Cheap (But it Didn't Last!)

5. One Good Payin' Job Brought Home (creates 7 or 8, so don't be late!).
Very Interesting.
Playing the Song Backwards, the Reverse Happens!

6. Baby, Where Did My Job and Trade Surplus Go?
B side of single is "Truth Deficit"

7. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! (Bringing Them Back Home To Mama and Papa) The Everybody's  Amazing lyrical ability is displayed in the song as it mentions 6 million jobs and 55,000 Manufacturing Plants lost since the Turn of the Century! Wow!


8. The Ballad of The Outsider vs. The Establishment (Rolling Stones meets Fleetwood Mac Vibe). Put on your headphones and read behind the lines, baby. Heavy lyrics. Best song on the LP! DVD of The Everybody's live concerts is unbelievable.
In key, and hittin' the right notes...
The harmony is amazin'.
Beatlesque!

The Everybody's Band is back, big time.
They're Gettin' in Tune. Not missing a beat.
On top of America's issues lyrically.
They Won't Get Fooled Again.
No more Young Man Blues.
It's about time.

The Everybody's drifted apart over the years.
Became apathetic to the music.
There were more important things in their everyday lives.
The music changed on them while they were away.
Music Jobs slowly drifted away...
and away.
They took other jobs. Had to move away.
It was hard on them and their families.

But vacations renew, re-inspire the human spirit.
The Everybody's had
time to ponder.
Contemplate.
Think.
About
What is really important.
For themselves.
But more importanty,
For their country.
It's future.
They became re-inspired.
To write.
To play.
The Everybody's got back on the music scene...
Like a Rock!
Writin' topically important song lyrics...songs that make you think, along with foot tappin' rhythms.

The Everybody's have created their own "Sgt. Peppers" pinnacle of success with "The Outsider vs. The Establishment" Lp.

The albums songs connect the dots on the American political scene 2016.

Common sense
Meets music.
Simply logical.
Easily understandable.
Perfect sense.

Whatever School they choose to attend...
For whatever career they want to pursue.
Plus, there is a larger array of Summer Jobs to choose from when School is out for the summer.
Get Married and Raise a Family.
Live Their Dreams.
Middle Aged and Senior Americans Feel better about Their Future Security, also.
Overtime picks up. Sales are increasing.
Time for a new car or truck, perhaps?
New Home.
New Appliances...thus creating jobs for more workers in those industries.
There's that good old economic Snowball Effect, again.
Consumers are spending money again.
People feel good about the economy.
The new paychecks pay into Social Security, Medicare...etc. Strengthening them.
Roads are smoother.
New businesses are popping up all over.
Property values rise.
Citizens educated in their home state decide to stay in their home state to work because jobs are growing in their home state.
And as we all know...
There's No Place Like Home!
Everybody Benefits when Jobs are brought
back, back, back home...
to Mama and Papa.

That's what America's about.

It's 2 plus 2.

The Everybody's woke up from their slumber.
Started writing, singing and playin' again.

The Everybody's get it.

No more Young Men and Women Blues for Americans.

Millions and Millions are going to buy the Album.

A Big, Big, Big Welcome Back to
The Everybody's!
We Missed You!

President Gerald Ford, a Republican from Michigan, who was a football player (that's cool) from University of Michigan, a Michigan Wolverine, who confidently,  successfully with a steady Michigan hand, steered our Nation through turbulent political times that us baby boomers never, ever saw before.
Remember?
As a college student circa 1974,  attending Central Michigan University, Go Chips!, around 20 years of age,
listening to President Ford's reassuring voice, watching him speak on TV with Confidence and Leadership, with that
Look
on his face.
A Look
We have all seen in
Our
Great
Presidents
When they are called upon by their Country
to
lead through crisis.

Can't describe it in words.
You've seen it, too.

You know what I'm talkin' about.

They
Mean
Business!

President Gerald Ford
Delivered.
Our Nation would be
OK.
Thanks to
President Gerald Ford
Elected
From
Michigan.

Also, President Ford signed into law the PBGC,
Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation which protected workers with a Defined Benefit Agreement...in other words, their pension.
Remember the picture of the signing ceremony?
President Ford Signing ERISA into Law 1974 on Labor Day Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. On Labor Day, President Gerald Ford from Michigan signing ERISA into law photo.
Both Democrats and Republicans standing behind him as he signed it into law.
Awesome!

What if
Gerald Ford had never won those Michigan elections in those past years?
The years before alot of us born?
What if people hadn't voted?
Well, thankfully they did.
Our Nation and Michigan is grateful for President Gerald Ford. A great man and a great President. Republican From Michigan.

Michigan has a very Independent spirit.
Alot of us vote independently.
We don't follow the crowd.
We like "outsider" candidates.
We split ticket vote a lot of times: One party candidate(s) and another party candidate(s) at top and bottom of ticket.

Around 42% of voters identify as Independents and vote accordingly in the USA.

Nafta and the whole gamut of trade deals over roughly the last 25, 30 or more years has had a major impact on Michigan. If one worked for an auto manufacturer or supplier I'm preaching to the choir. You know what I'm talking about. Jobs downstream and upstream affected in other various areas of our local economy, also.
No matter what party our Michigan elected officials belonged to, they tried to keep and grow jobs in this state. They are still keeping at it.
Not an easy task.
Thanks for your hard work. Both political parties in Michigan.


Blue Collar Michigan Scholar "Please Don't Call Michigan and our neighbor states Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey and other states in this Great Union the rust belt" rap:
We are the Manufacturing Belt.
We make things.
We work hard.
We are proud of that.
Ok, done complaining...I mean constructive criticizing.
On second thought...
Not yet.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.


Always wondered, if the trade deals were so good, why did merchandise trade deficits with major trading partners constantly get larger and larger. The Ross Perot campaign talked about the giant sucking sound of jobs leaving the USA due to Nafta back in 1992.
The 3 contenders in 2016 Presidential Campaign Sweepstakes have shined a light on all the trade deals and offered their solutions to them.
Who's most believable on doing what they said they will do during their respective election campaign speeches will increase probability of winning in Michigan and other manufacturing belt swing state, battleground, purple states.
Getting the job done.

Believability Poll.
Haven't seen a Belivability Poll done yet.
Presidential candidate that is
Most Believable on their Solutions on Priority Issues and
Can Get the job done
should do well in election '16

A Better Deal for American Workers, Trade Dealwise
Increases their probability of
Winning.
Especially in Manufacturing belt states.
Especially in Michigan.

Priorities that transcend party labels:
Security for America
Strong Military
Better Trade Deals leading to more good paying
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.
Protects and Enriches our Country.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an overall trade surplus for once? When's the last time we had one?
