In AP Gov we have learned a lot about the different ways of campaigning and the impacts they have on the peoples final voting decision. TV commercials have for a while been a very popular, but expensive way of campaigning. TV has always been one of the greatest effects of campaigning but because of a rise in technology and social media things could be changing.
      In this article it is talking about how in this years election, candidates are taking ad campaigns to the next level. Donald trump is not only appearing on tv but is tweeting his thoughts. Even People who are unfamiliar with social media somehow end up hearing what he's saying. trump didn't spend anything on ads in the first couple of months but he has gotten better at it and is now appearing on talkshows, radios, television ads, etc. Many think that standard political campaigning has become too limited and that it's time for a change.
     I agree, I think that the way Donald Trump puts himself out there in other ways that aren't costing him a penny is the way to go. Not that TV isn't another good way of campaigning but social media is a much faster and effective way of getting his thoughts out and point across. While commercials do explain what the candidate is trying to say, it just takes longer and could also appeal to different crowds of people.
