A handful of Republican big-money groups on Friday launched hard-hitting ad campaigns targeting Donald Trump that echoed Marco Rubio's Thursday night debate smack-down of the GOP presidential front-runner.
The group behind what's expected to be the most expensive and sustained assault - a super PAC dedicated to Rubio called Conservative Solutions PAC - has raised about $20 million in the past week alone, sources tell POLITICO. They say the cash will power a full-frontal assault on Trump in the delegate-rich states that vote in March, starting with Tuesday's 14 Super Tuesday contests.
Taken together, the wave of big-money attack ads, which could total in the eight-figures, suggests that deep-pocketed conservative groups and their donors see the March contests as their last chance to stop the billionaire real-estate showman from winning the GOP nomination and taking over the party.

Good luck with it.
F***rube. Got to be the GOPe boy, so HELL NO!
Yup... because it worked great for Jeb!
The Republican electorate knows Rubio is bought and paid for by the establishment. He’ll get a few second places next Tuesday which will set up his and the GOPe’s “Last Stand” in Florida on March 15th. Win or lose in Texas Cruz is already done. He’ll be a distant third in Florida and Ohio.
‘BIG MONEY’ buying Rubio ... and people want to vote for this Gang of Eight Traitors guy???
Yup... too little, too late.
If they had launched this six months ago, might be different.
GOP establishment has learned nothing from the Jeb debacle.
I think their ‘frontal assault’ will backfire bigtime and cause support for Trump to go uppity-uppity-up.
Can’t imagine what these fools are thinking. Donald has had everything and them some, thrown at him nonstop.
"Yeah! Let's just change our mind on letting in millions of unskilled foreigners who will both take our jobs and mooch off of us by social programs which employ Democrats!"
The TV networks need to thank Trump for all the money they are receiving from these “candidates” trying to hit Trump...It’s laughable....
My fast forward button on my remote is ready to skip those ads. Its already been pretty busy.
Uh huh - and people tend to tune TV ads out.
Ask Mitt Romney how his blanketing the airwaves non-stop from the summer onwards to Election Day worked.
Its just so much political spam. I think the $20 million will be a wash.
But Cruz said he would be good
It’s fascinating to me that they don’t appreciate what he’s doing
One needs to listen to Rubio at 1/4 speed to even catch what he’s saying.
He’s the standing champ in Lies Per Minute.
Yes! Camacho may be the only person around (possible exception Bernie the Red) with a chance of beating Mr. Trump...?????
/s .....(but point still serious)
