Yesterday, alone, a Clinton SuperPac reported spending nearly another $500,000

[amborin]

One of the ways you can get a sense of our momentum and the nervousness within the Clinton campaign is by seeing that they are now using massive amounts of super PAC money, funded largely by Wall Street, against our campaign.

One of those super PACs raised $15 million from Wall Street and the financial industry in the last half of 2015, and is now spending millions of dollars to try and tip the balance of a number of upcoming primaries and caucuses in Hillary Clinton’s favor. And just yesterday alone they reported spending nearly another $500,000.

1. money, money, money Hilary loves money.

2. Every time I see a Hillary ad I think corporations, banks and

money.

Every time I see a Bernie ad I think finally he is using my money to tell us the truth.

3. So a PAC SHOULDN'T spend the money it's raised?

4. Glad Bernie's SuperPac isn't outspending hers again, like IA

Or are they? Anyone know?

6. Are you referring to the group of nurses

Who raise their money through member donations? You know, it's actually kind of funny that they were able to outspend one of Clinton's Wall St Super PACs in Iowa. On the other hand, it's a little sad that one guy (Soros) was able to donate more money than all of the nurse members combined. Says a lot about today's campaign finance system.

7. Hillary's super pac bad, Bernie's super pac good

Yes, yes, we know. But if his is so good why does he keep claiming it doesn't exist?

[HerbChestnut]

8. Probably because he's not working directly with it

And they're completely autonomous. The same cannot be said for several SuperPACs that support Clinton. For example, (and you know this as well as I, but for those at home...) one of her supporting SuperPACs is run by David Brock, a notorious political figure known for destroying the character of whomever he's paid to. That PAC works directly with the Clinton campaign.

9. They are at his campaign events

And no, Clinton doesn't work directly with any SuperPac to coordinate spending. Neither does Bernie. That is illegal. No candidate does that.

Correct the Record is a blog for dog sake. And PACs donate to candidates - they don't coordinate with them. Please learn the difference between a PAC and a SuperPac.

10. You didn't read the article I posted, did you?

[MaggieD]

12. Dude, I read 6 newspapers a day

And you guys have posted that same damn story about 350 times. The problem is not that I did not read it, it's that you don't understand it.

[HerbChestnut]

13. It's pretty clear.

The point of the article is in the damn title.

[MaggieD]

15. I posted some material below that should help you understand it

You're welcome.

[Fearless]

11. Oh stop it you're killing me!!

So in the same breath you said that Bernie is actually doing what you're insisting that Hillary isn't doing despite a plethora of evidence to the contrary?

14. Here is some info on what SuperPacs can and can't do

So yes, they can talk to each other. But he acts like he doesn't even know his superpac when they are right at his campaign events. Doesn't it bother you that he is being disingenuous about that?

A bit of info you are apparently unaware of. You're welcome:

"One main reason: Under Federal Election Commission rules, there is no wall dividing candidates and independent groups. In practice, it’s more like a one-way mirror — with a telephone on each side for occasional calls.

“The rules of affiliation are just about as porous as they can be, and it amounts to a joke that there’s no coordination between these individual super PACs and the candidates,” said Rep. David E. Price (D-N.C.), who has sponsored legislation that would put stricter limits in place.

A close reading of FEC regulations reveals that campaigns can do more than just publicly signal their needs to independent groups, a practice that flourished in the 2014 midterms.

Operatives on both sides can talk to one another directly, as long as they do not discuss candidate strategy. According to an FEC rule, an independent group also can confer with a campaign until this fall about “issue ads” featuring a candidate. Some election-law lawyers think that a super PAC could share its entire paid media plan, as long as the candidate’s team does not respond."

16. OMG stop I'm dying!

You do realize that they break the law right?!??!

And Hillary has been caught doing this several times this time around, never mind last time.
