Team Clinton knows a lot of people will be tuning in to the Weather Channel as a category 4 hurricane moves toward Florida and makes its way up the East Coast.
“Over the past few days, our campaign made millions of dollars of adjustments and refinements to our TV buys on dozens of different cable stations in markets all across the battleground states,” said Clinton campaign spokesman Jesse Ferguson.
“The Weather Channel represented less than 1 percent of that spending. These shifts were part of our regular updates to maximize efficiency, effectiveness and reach of our ad buy.”
The ads will run for five days.
In the past political campaigns usually avoided exploiting human suffering to court votes but Clinton who is in a tight race with Donald Trump is apparently oblivious.
“You need to strike a balance between looking presidential but not looking like you’re a politically crass politician who’s parachuting in for a photo-op,” a former advisor the to 2012 Mitt Romney campaign, Ryan Williams, told Newsmax.
“The two candidates are going to have to be very careful because there’s a tremendous risk if it looks like they’re politicizing it in the least,” added Brett Doster, who advised Bush’s reelection campaign in Florida.

Deckard had to have already known this. The story of the delay has been in all news media. But that didn’t matter to him since he has no desire to ever post any truth, as long as he can in some way have an emotional stake to intentionally stir people up by exciting them to promote anger and hate. He has constantly shown that his goal on LF is to stir up passions and prejudices for his own hate agenda driven interests. Deckard gives a new meaning to someone being called a rabble- rouser.

Hillary Clinton's campaign has decided to delay a $63,000 ad buy on the Weather Channel after facing backlash for being insensitive to the millions of people in the path of Hurricane Matthew Fox News reported.
In other words, the ads were scheduled, and being the psychopath that she is, didn't decide to pull them until it was pointed out what a callous move that would be.

Why do you have such a problem keeping up with things?

Probably way before they knew there'd be a hurricane.

Deckard does not know anything until it makes its way to wingnut news.
