OMG (GOSH) The Super PAC ads are out in Florida! They started appearing about two days ago. The Super PAC ads are anti-Trump, and are put out for the Rubio campaign. Based on the ones we have seen, they are not from the Rubio campaign, because they do not have any of the old "I am Marco Rubio and I support this ad" at the end of them. Cruz must have given up on Florida- nothing from him, or they are so unforgettable to not even get measured on any scale
I cannot imagine ten days of this. It is hideous. I am wintering in Florida, but from Indiana. Indiana is always so late in primary season, both party races are pretty much over, so my wife and I are not used to this. How do Florida residents put up with this every four years? Trump does not seem to be advertising much here as of today.
And no, it does not matter to me the attack ads are against the Donald. It is the so super negative goal of the ads that gets to us. Makes us almost want to vote for Trump, the downtrodden populist candidate!
Mods, please do not move to politics thread just yet. I need eyeballs to comment on this, especially Floridians and other voters from the early primary states. After a few comments (hopefully we get them) then move, if necessary. TY

We drink. A lot. You should have a phone, mailbox, doorbell... to get the full joy of politics in Florida. Especially when you have a Democrat and Republican in one household. SO much fun getting tons of phone calls, junk mail, people stumping at all hours ringing your doorbell at 8:00 a.m. I'm going to start saying to any that are unlucky enough to get me: You all are batshit crazy and I'm not voting for any of you losers! I'm kidding. We vote for who we feel is less loserish at the time.

They even ran some of the attack ads at the end of the last debate. I do not think it was connecting with the choir, but we shall see. It will help with gaining Hillary fence sitters in the fall. No one is sitting on the fence getting splinters wondering if they should go with Trump.

i live in IL w/a 3/15 primary. We have had Rubio ads about 7-10 days now. Same (bad) ad time, and time, and time again. Wish they would do at least a couple & rotate them.
I hang up on political calls.
I do NOT answer the door for unknown, unexpected 'visitors.'

Well, since Trump looked weak this weekend, it looks like the ad attack backers are doubling down against Trump this weekend. Believe it or not, saw a Trump ad yesterday on television, and it was a positive themed ad. Go figure.....
