Gov. Mitt Romney, GOP nominee in 2012, has said that Jeb Bush’s problems this cycle have to do with his brother’s troubled presidency and general aversion to the Bush dynasty.

Politico went through a slew of political ads (both federal and statewide) that appeared in 2015 and picked the 10 most notable. presidential spots that made the list. They included Ted Cruz’s Christmas stories with his family and Donald Trump’s Instagram video ad attacking Jeb Bush for being low energy. Ads in support of Ben Carson and Rand Paul, as well as one attacking Hillary Clinton, also made it onto the list.
