Super PAC makes big play to lift Hillary Clinton in primary states

I'm very excited about this play. I know that Bernie and his group try to use the super pac argument against Clinton, but in SC and the south it won't work. They will definitely be helpful in getting out the AA and Latino/a vote. This is great news.


The main super PAC supporting Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is making its first significant foray into the 2016 primary, launching a radio campaign in South Carolina and spearheading a $4.5 million effort to drive early turnout of African American, Latino and female voters in states that hold primary contests in March.

The early engagement by Priorities USA Action — which originally planned to hold its fire for the general election — marks the first major infusion of super-PAC money on Clinton’s behalf and underscores how crucial South Carolina has become in her battle with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

The Priorities group is rolling out the early voter campaign Friday in partnership with the League of Conservation Voters, an environmental advocacy organization, and EMILY’s List, which works to elect Democratic women.

Molly Ivins used to say about lobbyists and campaign contributions:

"If you can’t take their money, drink their whiskey, screw their women, and vote against ‘em anyway, you don’t belong in the Legislature”!

You won't hear Hillary say that - but EFFING GROW UP!

And he welcomes it, uses it and his campaign benefits from those PACS also. No matter what he claims.
Yet in a wave of his arm & a pointed finger, he condems Hillary's PAC influence, while he is also doing the same as her campaign is.

This campaign of Hillary's is directed on the GE & building a base to defeat the GOP.
Bernie is merely an annoyance at this point..The Clinton campaign is focused on defeating the GOP.
Something I rarely hear Sanders mention but as a second thought.
That's the difference between the two campaigns.
Sanders is focused on defeating Hillary (which he will never do), while Hillary is already building to defeat the stranglehold of the GOP in our US & Global governance.
