Marco Is A Risky Bet

No accomplishments, negaJng hit against Hillary Clinton.

Marcos tomorrow versus yesterday argument will be widely ridiculed by media while
running against rst woman president.

Misuse of state party credit cards, taxpayer funds and Jes to scandal-tarred former
Congressman David Rivera takes away line of a=ack on Hillary Clinton.

Closeness with Norman Braman, who doubles as personal benefactor raises major
ethical quesJons.

Outside of lobbying and legal consulJng, no credible experience beyond government.

Never been in charge of anything larger than two dozen people.

Those who have looked into the Marcos background in the past have been concerned
with what they have found.
19

Those Closest To Marco Choose


Jeb

Rubio has only one endorser from Floridas Congressional delegaJon,


Governor Bush has 11.

Governor Bush has received the backing of eight former Speakers of the
Florida House.
Top Congressional Hispanic Floridians Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Curbelo and
Ileana Ros-LehJnen have endorsed Governor Bush.
Twenty out of 26 GOP Senators in Tallahassee have endorsed Governor Bush;
only two have endorsed Marco.
Marcos former Senate campaign manager and others close to him have also
joined Governor Bush team.
Marco hasnt received a single endorsement from a fellow U.S. Senator.
Governor Bush has been endorsed by three, as well as 20 House members.
20

Experience Ma=ers
We need to oer a contrast to the current President.
Hillary will pitch competence and experience. Marco
is a GOP Obama.

Rubio and President Obama have strikingly similar


proles: rst-term senators, lawyers and university
lecturers, served in part-Jme state legislatures for
eight years, had few legislaJve accomplishments,
and havent shown much interest in the process of
advancing legislaJon and gedng results.

Digital AdverJsing
Ads:

We have matched our voter targets into


cookie pools so that our digital eorts are
perfectly synced with our eld and television
eorts.
We have a truly cross channel, cross browser
eort that allows us to serve an ad to a target
of ours on their desktop at work, and then to
their iPad as they watch TV at night.
We are constantly targeJng the person, not
the site, not the device.
We are tracking and adapJng our digital
adverJsing in real Jme, reallocaJng our reach
and frequencies constantly.

97

Digital Fundraising
Fundraising tools:

We have a one-click donaJon


system built on the same
technology as apple-pay.
Weve built a dynamic and
personalized website, that
allows us to customize the
not only what we ask for but
the amount you see on the
forms on our site, customized
to you as a donor and your
ability to give.
We are tesJng and opJmizing
the website by audience type,
allowing us to customize the
site experience by audience.
So for example, visitors from
a mobile device see the site
that be=er yields outcomes
for mobile visitors, and
desktop visitors see the site
that yields the best outcome
from them.
