Last night was a devastating defeat for Marco Rubio, whose big losses in the Super Tuesday II primaries caused him to drop out of the Republican race. But the scale of the disaster is even bigger when we look at the amount of money Rubio and the Republican establishment spent in the past weeks to try to stop Trump.
It shows that Trump is winning while spending incredibly little on any sort of advertising. Other candidates, like Rubio, went aggressive on advertising, only to have their efforts rebuffed by voters.
According to ad-buying data from SMG Delta, posted by Mark Murray of NBC News, Rubio's Super PAC and campaign spent a massive amount of money in several of the March 15 primary states.
For instance, in his home state of Florida Rubio spent $8.2 million, far more than the rest of candidates combined. But he only received 636,450 votes. That means he spent nearly $13 per vote.
Compare that with Donald Trump, who barely spent anything on advertising on the path to his Florida victory.

I’ve also heard that some people don’t care to much for money because money can’t buy them love. At least it seems that everyone tells me so.
Shoot, $13.05 might buy a couple meals at Taco Bell.
At Chipotle, one meal, maybe a soda, too.
The ridiculous overspending against him is probably helping him.
He’s essentially getting his enemies to pay for some of his votes.
BUILD. THE. WALL.
Trump’s use of the media must confound them.
This is also an argument for why Trump can actually beat the PIAPS.
He hasn’t even started with campaign adds yet.
For the most part their cash is trash.
Consider the overwhelming support for Trump, who has a welded bond with tens of millions of his supporters. Those capable of critical thought saw this money dilemma facing the disciples of deceit in D.C. long ago.
Apparently they never saw it coming. Another reason why these folks in D.C. have no damn business being at the controls.
.............I think the lesson the Republican E boys need to learn is that their base is on to them ergo they have to learn to live with the fact that .23 cents per vote CAN Trump $13.05.
In other words, they’ve grown use to saying to and among themselves “well, F the base, we will just throw some money at our chosen chump candidate (Jeb and Little Marco this cycle) and veer right in election year and elect our next puppet and the “good times and caviar will roll another 4 years!”
That line is a keeper!
Nice take......
By being so aggressive, his opponents are throwing disgusted voters into the Trump camp.
Beautiful.
NYT article this week said Trump got 2 billion in “earned media” (free).
Winning!
Excellent point!
Just think Trump has successfully have other people pay for his campaign without the them knowing. Mexico will pay for the wall without them knowing too when it’s all done. Lol
Barky has been practicing golf nonstop for 8 years. After Trump tears up all of Barky’s lame executive orders Trump should take him out for a friendly round of golf to further the humiliation. Trump should have a side bet, and televise the whole game on live national TV, proceeds to wounded vets of course.
In a nut shell, we just are not buying what they are selling!!
GO TRUMP GO!!!
Those who work for him now or in the past are full of praise.
The Missouri chart is interesting because BusTed really spent a lot of ad money there. That, in part, explains the closeness. But also BusTed’s Chicago comments probably handed MO to Trump.
