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.

The ‘Trump University’ issue is one that could sing and one of the groups is going to run ads focused on it
The GOPe never dreamed we hayseed rubes in the base could take them down. Now it’s outright panic on their part. They can spend all they want because it won’t help Rubio. Both he and Cruz will be effectively eliminated after the Ohio and Florida primaries.
$20 million ain’t gonna take out Mr. Trump. “Jeb?” pis*ed away $120 million trying to do that....
$20 million at this stage is like chump change
GOP-E is dead, like a DoDo
I agree about TrumpU. It just doesn’t look good for him...
(If he asked me for advice, ha ha, I’d recommend he clean that one up ASAP and be done with it)
“Iâd recommend he clean that one up ASAP and be done with it”
Odds are he will. Things are a bit different now than when he decided to fight it. Has more important things on his mind.
Republican big-donors better not defy the party’s loyal voters any more. They have defied the voters in the past by not allowing follow-through on Republican promises. The big donors yield way too much influence.
This is what happens when fascists are surrounded.
What does that tell you. How can they turn such a big lead around in such a short time. Besides, at this point Trump folks are very loyal.
Another waste of a paltry $20 million by the GOPe. They stand to lose billions in government largesse if Trump is elected.
The election is effectively over. Like a chess match it is in the end game and the major pieces,all belong to Trump except Texas.
The Cheap Labor Express will not give up until all of their candidates are out.
Where did Rubio get 20 million dollars?
Read his books. Trump has a policy of never settling a lawsuit where he believes he hasn’t done anything wrong. He spells it out in The Art of the Deal.
'But if we was master, then we could help ourselfs, yes, and still keep promises.' -- Gollum Marco Rubio
D, where is that pic?
I’m sure it is a Trump rally. But where and when?
Big money failed Jeb. Likewise with the twins.
These next four days are going to be a bloodbath.
you can do that in business (if you can afford it)
but now that Mr. Trump is entering politics, he may wish to change that policy... politics isn’t measured entirely in profits (tho much of it is these days, ask Hillary)....
politics (at least campaigns) are measured in voter support
different ballgame with different way of measuring success
anyway, Mr. Trump has not asked me for any advice, so I will shut up. If he reads this and wishes more advice, he is perfectly welcome to offer to pay me for it
“But where and when?”
Can I complain a little? Why do people post pictures and not identify who/what they are about.
I thought he was the establishment’s choice?
