The Club for Growth, a conservative group that has routinely criticized Donald Trump, plans to unveil a "major television ad campaign in an early presidential primary state" on Tuesday on the heels of asking top Republican donors to give the organization money to fund a multimillion-dollar campaign against the Republican front-runner.
A public relations representative for the anti-tax group sent out a news release Monday morning announcing its super PAC arm, Club for Growth Action, would debut the ad on Tuesday morning at the National Press Club in Washington. Asked what the ad is about, Club for Growth spokesman Doug Sachtleben declined to comment.

My in-laws are Hispanic and they are WILDLY for Trump. My normally apolitical wife who is originally from Venezuela is also wild for Trump. Yes, something is happening!!!
Trump is reaching out to the silent majority of minorities, who have been beaten into submission by the Democrats, and ignored by the Republicans.
But remember that 8 years ago, McCain was down and out in the primaries, out of money, and no support, and then suddenly somehow he was the nominee! Bush is not gone.
I also wonder where bears do their business.

I know several people who had given up on voting who are chomping at the bit to vote for Trump. I know conservatives who are excited about him, I know moderates who are excited about him, and I know liberal Democrats who are excited about voting for Trump.
There is an epic shift happening in the electorate. The last time the outcome of an election was this blindingly obvious was when Reagan was still around. Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the United States and it isn’t even going to be close.
Wrong. This time it’s the GOPe that’s playing musical chairs. Perry is gone. Walker is just about done. Bush, Rubio and Christie have all been duds. Their latest is Kasich. It isn’t working.
Wasn’t this the same group that tried shaking down Trump for a million dollars just a few weeks ago?
Without lengthy comment.....IMHO.....The present day Democrat & Republican Establishment RINO political parties will take devastating political losses on election day, November, 2016!!! The news media will change drastically along with major, lasting, positive political changes. Obama has killed the Democrat Party....and the fools that run it...have nary a clue!!! And....ditto for the Republican Establishment RINOs that jumped in bed with Obama, backing & supporting the would be destroyer of our American Republic!!!
There are three legs to conservatism. This group checks one box.
What these people fail to understand is that, for the first time in history, the American people will be able to vote —by proxy— on illegal immigration. Not just the remedy and prevention, but the costs we have to bear. And the benefit package that our overlords intend to put on the taxpayers to make their profits.
In my lifetime, we have never been allowed to have a “say” on the invasion, wildly profitable and convenient for our Central American neighbors. They provide no education, safety net, yet maintain amazingly low wages for their citizens, and when the peeps can’t take it any more, they move north. I don’t blame the people; I blame these corrupt, feckless governments. What a racket! Dump off your poor and uneducated, take the US foreign aid $$$, and take the billions of remittances. All while driving wages down in the US.
You couldn’t make up this kind of crap if you tried.
The best thing I’ve read recently. It’s a bit long, but there are no wasted words. It matters:

Hicks: It just doesn't make any goddamn sense.
Ripley: He figured that he could get a GOPe back through quarantine, if one of us was... impregnated... whatever you call it, and then frozen for the trip home. Nobody would know about the embryos we were carrying... me and Newt.
Hicks: Wait a minute, now... we'd all know.
Ripley: Yes. The only way he could do it is if he sabotaged certain freezers on the way home... namely, yours. Then he could jettison the bodies and make up any story he liked.
Hudson: #$%@. He's dead. You're dog-meat, pal!
Club for Growth: This is so nuts. I mean, listen - listen to what you're saying. It's paranoid delusion. How - It's really sad. It's pathetic.
Ripley: You know, Club for Growth, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them #$%@ing each other over for a goddamn percentage.
Hicks: All right, we waste him. No offense.
Ripley: No. He's gotta go back.
This is nearly the exact same wishful-thinking “article” WaPo published 10 days ago. Not a shred of actual evidence that any of these unsubstantiated rumors WaPo is publishing as “news” has any truth whatsoever to them.
I’ll believe this when I see it.
What the hey, Trump can always stand to go up a few more points.
The more they attack him, the more he grows.
When Harry Reid spent the last decade railing against the Koch brothers, we thought he was a crazy old fool.
But now that Donald Trump is also attacking the Koch brothers, we’re supposed to think Donald Trump is brilliant?
In order to support Donald Trump, one must hate women, hate minorities, hate immigrants, hate Mexico, and now also must hate the venerable pro-capitalism, anti-tax organization the Club for Growth. And why, for what reason?
Because Donald Trump has promised to build a wall that will keep out immigrants? As if a wall will keep out immigrants who are determined to come here. As if, during the years the wall is being built, floods of immigrants won’t overwhelm our country as never before in order to take up residence here before the last brick is put into the wall that will seal out the world once and for all.
This is all madness.
I agree. I’m seeing the same thing. Trump is a crossover candidate who appeals to every demographic. Getting 25% of blacks is unheard of in this day and age. That alone can guarantee Trump a huge landslide victory in 2016.
It’s an backhanded admission that RINOs are correct; Republicans can’t win by being straightforward conservatives. It’s just an appeal to a gimmick or some appeal to the envy of populism instead of appealing to the GPO-E’s lite Democrats.
At least there should be an admission that support for Trump is based on a single issue. After Romney - Boehner - McConnell, I admit that might be enough for me.
Your comments are madness Jeb.
Bush is saving his 100 million war chest until closer to the primary date. He’ll kill Trump in Iowa just to help Carson win, which won’t take much effort where the polls are today. Then he’ll take Trump on directly in NH. Suddenly in SC the voters will be torn between a damaged Trump, a victorious Carson or Southern favorite son Cruz.
So many RINOs will have dropped out by then, while Trump, Carson and Cruz will be cannibalizing each other, giving Bush his opening to dump millions into ads and win by default.
