Barrage of Attack Ads Threatens to Undermine Donald Trump
New York Times ^ | APRIL 11, 2016 | NICK CORASANITI and MAGGIE HABERMAN

More than half of the record spending on negative advertising during the 2016 presidential primary has been directed at a single candidate, Donald J. Trump, a barrage that threatens to undermine his candidacy even as he continues to march toward the Republican nomination.

Of the more than $132 million spent on negative ads by candidates and the groups supporting them, nearly $70 million has gone to commercials assailing Mr. Trump, according to a New York Times analysis of data provided by Kantar Media/CMAG. The sharp focus on a single candidate is especially surprising given the exceptional size of the initial Republican field.

When have attack ads been detrimental to Trump? How can they even be termed “attack” ads when they only add to his totals?

I did read this a couple of weeks ago, and it is a lot of wishful thinking on the part of the NYT and the neo-con artists.

Just the other day I saw Bill Kristol still desperately clinging to the idea of a 3rd party if Trump gets the nomination.

The greatest thing that could happen is if all the neo-con artists and their open borders toadies all went back to the democrat party from whence they came. They never should have been welcomed into the republican party, they have done nothing by great damage to the party. Now that they have been exposed as to what they really are, it is time to give them the boot.

WLS is running lots of Trump ads. WLS covers nw Indiana. Funny to hear them while listening to Rush & Levin bash Trump.

Trump - We should not pay for Germany’s defense. Time for Germany to pay.
Germany - Trump is wrong on foreign policy.
Hillary - I agree with Germany.

Trump “Deal” with Germany: “OK, next time you get to KEEP France!”
