Ironically, she's proving SuperPACs aren't even needed... JaneyVee Nov 2015 #3
But she will need the SuperPACs to combat the gop SuperPACs. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #13
And it's reasonable to know who is behind the SuperPACs Armstead Nov 2015 #31
Okay ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #40

I disagree. but even so, it doesn't preclude what the OP requests. n/t marym625 Nov 2015 #29
Except insofar as you belief a complete accounting of who is giving Money to Clinton el_bryanto Nov 2015 #42
