GOP anti-Trump group plans multimillion-dollar ad blitz in Florida

[RandySF]

A Republican anti-Trump organization is reportedly preparing to spend millions running ads in Florida aimed at swaying moderates in the pivotal swing state.

The group, Republican Voters Against Trump, has assembled several veterans of ex-Gov. Jeb Bush’s (R) presidential campaign, including director Mike Murphy. Murphy told The New York Times that the group’s research indicates numerous retired voters and suburbanites could be persuaded to vote for Democratic nominee Joe Biden despite their histories of voting Republican.

“There are cracks in the wall, but they need a few good sledgehammer blows,” Murphy told the Times.

The group’s strategists said they are focusing their attention on Florida as, unlike other swing states, a loss there would likely put an Electoral College victory out of Trump’s reach.

They also pointed to Florida’s diversity compared to Midwestern states, saying Trump appeals to racial grievances would be less effective there.

3. Great news that Mike Murphy is involved

He is sharp. One of the few GOP strategists who is worth a listen.

This topic has received lots of attention elsewhere today when the name Jeb Bush is touted in the header. I think the lack of that name caused many here to devalue the significance. Democratic operations in Florida are not as sophisticated as they need to be. A boost like this really helps. They'll know who to target.
