Yes, they are spending millions, and they started more than a year ago:

Crossroads is eager to establish itself as the leading attack dog against Mrs. Clinton, but it is a crowded field, especially as other super PACs are emerging as bigger players in the Republican money world.Photo

Right to Rise, a super PAC supporting former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, recently held its own briefing for Republican groups to highlight data it gathered from its own focus groups and polling of women, information that can be used in attacks against Mrs. Clinton. It stressed that Mrs. Clinton’s “dead broke” comments were particularly devastating, as were her deleted emails, though they required more explanation. Though the Clintons were in fact dealing with debt and legal fees when they left the White House, Mrs. Clinton later called her comments “inartful.”

In addition, America Rising PAC, an opposition research group that focuses heavily on attacking Mrs. Clinton, began its effort with Twitter and other online posts more than a year ago before moving to paid digital ads.

And the fruit of their labors gets posted here every single day.
