There are also a few outside wingnut group ads too.
So why these groups are bothering with this decidedly blue area, I don’t know?

If he really goes and then stays black in Florida that means it is over and they know it. The only "strategy" I can come up with to explain these moves is that trump's teams knows that it has to show him catching up and/or pulling away somewhere, and they are putting their chips on GA and AZ to make that point. They are in a very weak position with polling running away from them across the nation and their coffers going dry. They are left with simply praying that the recently right leaning voters of Florida will return to form if they can find enough encouragement from a hoped for Trump rebound in states like AZ and GA. Trump can't win without Florida, and Florida reports almost all of their votes on Election Day night, so there could be no hiding from that outcome.

Obvious internal polls by trump/gop in states like Mn, Ohio, Wi, NH, NV, Iowa indicates major hurdles to trump AND same internals in Az,GA, PA, Fl shows its a dogfight

nothing here indicates trump has any advantages

Trump is simply trying to hold onto states the Republican candidate hasn't lost in years, even though those won't be enough to get him to 270.
