Just ask Jeb how well his ad blitzes worked for him.

Jeb's Super PAC never spent big going after Trump, mostly they did pro-Jeb ads and some anti-Rubio and anti-Christie ads. Kasich's Super PAC has also dabbled in anti-Trump ads as has the Club for Growth, but nothing of this size. That being said, spends have to be larger because they are in multiple states now.   

As many have noted, the time to spend big to go after Trump was before any voting started.  That is what happened to Gingrich in IA back in late 2007 which took him down and then when he came back the outside groups again took him down in Florida.

Regardless, do you think these ads will damage Trump whatsoever?

I was a firm believer that the establishment should have thrown the kitchen sink at Trump in NH back in the fall. Lots of endorsements for the mainstreamers. Super PAC attack ads, surrogates fanning out to conservative talk radio.  Oppo leaks to the MSM. Basically what they did to Gingrich, but bigger. Instead they did almost nothing because they were paralyzed, both fearing Trump's wrath and fearing helping Cruz, who they hate even more.   

Now, I think it may be too late.  But they have to try.
