In reply to the discussion: Special report: Sanders campaign millions go to mystery firm. (Tax returns must include spouses) [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)318. The DLC was disbanded way back in 2010, about eight years ago.
The mission of the DCCC is to support Democratic House candidates, just as the DSCC is devoted to electing Democratic Senatorial candidates.
That's what they do, that's what they're supposed to do, and I fully support both in their missions to get Democrats elected.
