Political advertising isn’t working very well so far in the 2016 GOP presidential race. According to SMG Delta, the two largest buyers of political advertising in the presidential race so far — Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio — have spent a combined $91 million via their campaigns and outside groups. When you add in money spent by Chris Christie and John Kasich, the total amount spent by establishment-friendly Republicans is $112 million.
