Super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton raises $25 million since July 1

With the latest commitments, Priorities USA's fundraising take amounts to just over $40 million.

Clinton, who now lags behind Bernie Sanders in two key state polls, has made campaign finance reform a significant part of her presidential platform. Earlier this month, the Democratic hopeful rolled out several proposals to curb the influence of money in politics, including one that supported a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the landmark Supreme Court case that paved the way for unlimited donations to political campaigns.

Still, Clinton has not disavowed super PAC money to support her campaign. In April, Clinton campaign manager Jennifer Palmieri told CBS News that the presidential candidate doesn't intend to "unilaterally disarm."

1. Let's see, Jeb has $150M

which means HRC must NOT raise money to run a race (sarcasm), a race that will affect downticket Dems and not just herself.

This is the world we live in NOW, not some utopia....

IF we win and can control both Houses, then we must push to pass legislation to overrule the Supreme Fart...

2. Bush is about to crash and burn ala Ghouliani

The interesting part will be how he funnels that money to whomever the candidate is.

3. abosolute power corrupts absolutely. You can't allow them to play dirty now and then just

expect them to give up the game when they are in control. That is utopian thinking.

4. They're going to spend most of it on buying more loopholes.

They're the "in" thing now with Super PACs.

6. I take it this comment is directed at me

How perfect you must be...
I am just being realistic about where we are..... utopia is not quite achievable yet...

There is Congress to deal with.
My "ideal" and that's not really that ideal, is still a Parliamentary system, not the crap system we have.
