If the super PAC money was the last straw, you may need to reconsider your current choice as well: beastie boy Feb 2020 #5

Especially when her website says she rejects SuperPACs. DanTex Feb 2020 #6

It's rather the last straw ProfessorPlum Feb 2020 #23

Bernie has 6 dark money PACs supporting him AGeddy Feb 2020 #35

ProfessorPlum Welcome to the Bloomberg Camp Moderateguy Feb 2020 #39

I'm not allowed to say what I think of Bloomberg here ProfessorPlum Feb 2020 #41

Yet you refuse to support the one Liberal candidate in the race who actually has a history Moderateguy Feb 2020 #43

And Sanders did the same with the Super delegates... Moderateguy Feb 2020 #48

Right, I guess Super PACs are bad until you are desperate to turn around a failing campaign tritsofme Feb 2020 #42

Sanders had them before Warren. LizBeth Feb 2020 #45

Sanders has about a half dozen Super PACs working for him and a couple of "dark money" groups. George II Feb 2020 #47
