Democratic-affiliated organizations have spent millions on political ad contracts to boost pro-Donald Trump candidates in the contest. History shows such tactics can have success. In 2010, the Democratic Governors Association nicknamed several GOP gubernatorial candidates, including Republican nominee Dan Maes "And Christine O'Donnell Republicans" to try to persuade voters to reject their electability. Maes ultimately lost his general election to the then-Denver mayor -- and now Senator -- John Hickenlooper.
