WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- The Latino-focused super PAC "Vamos for Jeb 2016" is shutting down after raising no money in the 2016 election cycle.
The group was formed by Claire Hardwick, founder of the conservative news site Elephant News. Andrea Wong, the super PAC's treasurer sent a letter to the Federal Elections Commission on Tuesday requesting that the group be terminated.
"When Jeb Bush first announced he was going to run we thought he was really going to be the president to go for it and unite Hispanics with Americans, but then obviously Donald Trump came in the picture and completely changed everything," Hardwick told Politico on Wednesday. "We got a lot of followers. I still do think he will be the candidate to appeal to the Hispanics."

(11,785 posts)Me: "Can you even call it a super PAC if it doesn't raise money? Isn't that the sound of one hand clapping?"
Mr. Winter: "It's not even the sound of one hand clapping. It's the sound of one hand failing to snap its fingers."
