Report: Dems to Hit Trump With $20 Million in Negative Ads Before Convention

A Democrat super PAC plans to hit Republican front-runner Donald Trump with $20 million worth of negative advertising before he even secures his party's nomination, National Journal reports.

Priorities USA, the same PAC that went after Mitt Romney in 2012, plans to start airing anti-Trump ads on June 8, one day after the final primaries. Trump is expected by many to sew up the nomination at that point.

But neither Trump himself nor the Republican Party has plans to air counter-attacks against presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton until after the Republican National Convention, National Journal notes, and that could put Trump in a similar position to Romney, whose strength as business leader was turned against him by Priorities USA.

The series of anti-Trump ads will paint him as "an unserious, unready, and unscrupulous businessman who also happens to disparage women and minorities," National Journal writes.

The ads will air for five weeks in seven swing states.

"Mitt Romney was a fundamentally likable guy," GOP strategist and "Never Trump" advocate Rick Wilson told National Journal. "They turned him into history’s greatest monster."
Special:
Wilson said Priorities USA will have a far easier time demonizing Trump, who already has low approval ratings – including among Republicans.

Red State, writing about the National Journal story, said to "get used to every horrible thing – horrible true thing – that we have been trying to tell you about Donald Trump get[ting] plastered all over the airwaves in June and July."

It's not the first wave of attacks ads against Trump, and, like every other method used against the unconventional candidate, they didn't work.

Politico reported on series of attack ads against Trump in late February, and The New York Times reported a month ago that more than half of the negative ads this election season have been against Trump.

This is all you need to know. The $20 million would be better spent trying to polish Hillary, than give Trump any press, even negative press.

Meanwhile the media will interview Trump to respond to every attack ad, and he'll probably spend $20,000 to fight back.

Romney was a weird hedge fund manager.

Trump is likable and builds real things.

Trump is also a "loser" according to keyboard CEO's who should have tied all his wealth up in a hedge fund.

Saying a Republican won't kiss the ring of minorities has never added inches to the dicks of Democrats; & for Al Gore & John Kerry; it came with a life sentence.


Ayotte deserves to lose.

Blum, Poliquin & Guinta are the only redeeming ones in the house there in different ways. They all want a strong charismatic guy like a Trump or Paul Lepage or shirtless Scott Brown.

Kirk & Ayotte are scum. Ayotte will be beaten by a Democrat who opposes Syrian refugees and hates Sheldon Adelson.

Johnson already said it will be "Ronald & Donald" up north.

Toomey has a far left nobody running against him. I thought Toomey was going to sign on to Trump's gun ban? Why so worried?

GOP wont win colorado senate; may win CO prez race; because they stole from Trump
