Hillary Clintons campaign plans to work in tight conjunction with an independent rapid-response group financed by unlimited donations, another novel form of political outsourcing that has emerged as a dominant practice in the 2016 presidential race.
On Tuesday, Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton rapid-response operation, announced it was splitting off from its parent American Bridge and will work in coordination with the Clinton campaign as a stand-alone super PAC. The groups move was first reported by the New York Times.
That befuddled many campaign finance experts, who noted that super PACs, by definition, are political committees that solely do independent expenditures, which cannot be coordinated with a candidate or political party. Several said the relationship between the campaign and the super PAC would test the legal limits...

(8,166 posts)I don't spend time searching to dig up dirt on either of our Democratic candidates. You will notice that I never attack either one of them but I defend both of them.

(1,000 posts)It implies that they operate somewhere near "within the law" when the truth is that they are so extreme in their criminality that there are few precedents for the scale of what they do.
The Clinton Foundation never even operated close to the law and was never intended to, nor were the bribe-speeches, nor were her operations at State. These were all intended for personal enrichment in exchange for abuse of political power and influence to further their patrons' desires.
Or to make all that shorter, selling you out is their business model.

The goal is to bring on The Hillarian Era.
Caesarism is a form of political rule that emulates the rule of Roman dictator Julius Caesar over the Roman Republic, in that it is led by a charismatic strongman whose rule is based upon a cult of personality, whose rationale is the need to rule by force, establishing a violent social order, and being a regime involving prominence of the military in the government. It has been used by proponents of it, but it has also been commonly used in a pejorative manner.

(146,254 posts)in cahoots with the Clinton campaign. I read about their being a Clinton house organ this morning on DU, so it must be true. You just can't trust that lying media outlet, I understand.
Maybe a year ago, when this was written, they weren't just shilling for Hillary, though, as they are now according to those DUers who are in the know.

(1,377 posts)These are "Startups" That are made to be like SuperPacs but are playing at being a company. So they can take in unlimited amount of "investors" and then use money in coordination with the Clinton campaign to help spread word.
