Clinton Reluctantly Begins to Rely on Super PACs

[DonViejo]

New York Times: “Mrs. Clinton’s allied super PACs, mindful that to resist the tide is to drown, are soliciting giant donations in earnest now, with her blessing. But the disparity, which has worried many Democrats, also has to do with the ambivalence, or outright disdain, that Mrs. Clinton’s donors say they feel, and that some say they have picked up from her, about the role that super PACs should play… That early discomfort points to the adjustment the Clintons and their vast circles of donors are having to make to the sharply altered fund-raising environment since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010.”

2. I believe it. Citizens United changed the playing field. The Republicans are going to have beaucoup

bucks to spend on the presidential election. How can Democrats fight back without enough money to counter the GOP's attacks?
