Advertisers usually buy up time in week increments, up to like an entire quarter at a time. What happened a couple weeks ago is they cancelled Ohio and Iowa for the next two weeks (likely wo 9/21 and wo 9/28, depending on week-start date.). Now this story is reporting that he's cancelling another week for ohio and iowa.

As someone who doesn't quite get this idea, is this likely? Is it possible?
Some people would say it's not likely, and that it would cause an unprecedented crisis and tear the country apart, but it's entirely possible and the Trump campaign is discussing it as a strategy to win.
Trump might be broke/funneling the money for himself but the GOP is going to do some truly nefarious shit:
Trump campaign discussing plans to appoint its own state electors, no matter the results: report
A real nightmare scenario: The eight closest battleground states might send competing sets of electors to Congressnews.yahoo.com
They're discussing it and if the election comes down to a single state, like Florida, they'll probably seriously consider it.
That article mentions that if Dems win the Senate then it wouldn't matter what the GOP tries, Biden would win. So we'd better get a Senate majority...Trump might be broke/funneling the money for himself but the GOP is going to do some truly nefarious shit:

29 states (including many of the Republican governed ones) have laws binding the electors to the popular vote. I think this bullshit works in a few specific battleground states, but not that many.Just fyi if every state with a republican legislature directly appoints electors for Trump and ignores the popular vote, he has over 300 EVs. I'm assuming dem governors won't be able to do anything to stop it because we live in hell.

If this is the kind of banana republic bullcrap they are going to pull, why have an election at all? Just declare Trump godking for life and be done with it.Just fyi if every state with a republican legislature directly appoints electors for Trump and ignores the popular vote, he has over 300 EVs.

For the record, we were all hoping for faithless electors in late 2016. Institutionally it's still bullshit and should have never even been a thing.
At this point it wouldn't surprise me if his endgame was to target "BlUe StAtEs" with nuclear warheads.
Electors being able to do whatever the fuck they want. Though, I suppose the NaNoVoInterCo (plan to legally subvert the electoral college) relies on it, so.
I see. I'm not American so I'm not intimately familiar with the electoral college process but reading things like "pro-trump electors" makes my hair stand on end. Seems like a lot of this headache could be avoided if the states simply picked the winner of the popular vote.
There were several defectors for Trump in the 2016 election in spite of his victory. I think it's certainly possible there could be more this time, but it won't be enough to put a dent in the coming landslide.
