发帖数: 61690 | 1 The long-threatened effort to destroy Donald Trump is arriving in force.
Senior-level people in conservative organizations across Washington are
firing with both barrels in an attempt to stop Trump’s march to the GOP
presidential nomination, multiple sources tell The Hill.
One conservative nonprofit is launching a multimillion-dollar campaign of
raw attack ads against the front-running candidate ahead of next week’s
Super Tuesday contests.
The group, American Future Fund, is buying ads that feature people who claim
to be victims of "fraud" it says is perpetrated by one of the real estate
mogul's business ventures, Trump University.
The ad campaign is among several anti-Trump attacks announced over the past
24 hours, as mainstream Republicans make a desperate attempt to stop his
rise.
In addition, a pro-Marco Rubio super-PAC has launched attack ads against
Trump, funded by a new cash injection of more than $10 million. And late on
Friday afternoon, The Hill learned that another anti-Trump super-PAC — Our
Principles PAC, which is run by Katie Packer, a former senior adviser to
Mitt Romney, who was the party's 2012 nominee — would be putting into
national rotation an attack ad hitting the billionaire for hiring illegal
immigrants.
"There's a lot of people recognizing that Donald Trump is a fraud and there'
s lots of interest in shining a spotlight on it," Packer told The Hill in a
telephone interview on Friday.
"I think different groups have different issues that they're interested in
highlighting," she added. "There's plenty of fodder. It's a very target-rich
environment."
The barrage against appears to be in sync with the attacks that Marco Rubio
levied against Trump in Thursday night’s CNN debate. Rubio escalated these
attacks in his public appearances on Friday, describing Trump as a “con
artist.”
But the AFF ads are perhaps the most forceful assault yet.
In one of the ads, a man identified as “Kevin” stares into the camera and
describes what he alleges was a scam by Trump University that ruined his
life.
“Trump is just a fraud, a misrepresentation, a B.S. artist,” he says. “
America, don’t make the same mistake I made with Donald Trump.”
Another ad in the series focuses on a retiree named “Bob” who claims he
paid $35,000 at Trump University and all he got was a picture of himself
with a cutout of Donald Trump. And a third ad identifies another alleged
victim, single mom “Sherri,” who says she made a mistake by trusting Trump.
“All of it was just a fake,” she says. “I got hurt badly and I would hate
to see this country get hurt by Donald Trump.”
Trump University, which was reportedly launched in 2005 on the promise to
teach students Trump’s real estate investment techniques, has since been
the subject of lawsuits, with former students claiming they were scammed.
Trump and his representatives have described the charges as baseless. His
campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The AFF anti-Trump campaign, according to the group’s spokesman, Stuart Roy
, has been "in the planning for quite a while" but the group only determined
this week to “pull the trigger.”
The AFF’s anti-Trump ads will run in a nationwide television and digital
buy, which will cost “multiple millions,” Roy said in a telephone
interview with The Hill on Friday. The spots are being purchased Friday and
Roy hopes the first TV ads will air on March 1: Super Tuesday.
Roy foreshadowed other anti-Trump ads that would focus on more of the
billionaire’s business dealings. When asked if he would be airing
testimonies related to Trump’s bankruptcies in Atlantic City or his
controversial use of eminent domain, Roy said he wouldn’t be giving that
away, as “politics is a lot like poker.”
Focus group research commissioned by various Republican-aligned outfits has
found that when voters are shown that Trump's business dealings have hurt
rather than helped workers, it can undermine his image as a man of the
people. | S******4
