ABikerSailor What people want and what they can be convinced they want at any given moment are two entirely different things. And 'If' the Super PACs have any power? Just you wait. They have power, but they do not have votes. Last election cycle they changed little in the way of who was in and who was out, but they changed the nature of campaigning. They are now doing the ground work and other stuff campaigns historically have done. Except, they are beholden to no candidate they support. They are pseudo-campaigns or is it the other way around?
Please, you suspect? Suspect what? What PACs are already doing? Traditional political ads are coming. Just you wait and see.Yeah, great question.It doesn't seem money is buying much by way of influence with voters.

I suspect they've finally learned that traditional advertising is no longer effective (Jeb? Hello?). Seems to me they might start pouring money into more organizational/infrastructure stuff, including a shitload of social media types.

and stop pretending you are smarter than you are. Stating what is already happening as if it is something you think might happen in the future is downright nutty sounding
I suspect the experiment will continue. It is new territory. Nothing tried nothing gained. They will influence and change things as surely as the sun rises in the east, because money has a funny way of doing just that, changing thingsABikerSailor What people want and what they can be convinced they want at any given moment are two entirely different things.

I think the pseudo campaign is the right answer. And, if the PACs don't perform as they think they should, they might end up being a failed political experiment that every one agrees was bad.

Ah, so they're way ahead of me.Mac1958 Your statement "Seems to me they might start pouring money into more organizational/infrastructure stuff..." has been in the news for months now. Maybe like many of the candidates you mistake what you think you know for reality?
???CU and McCutcheon have their greatest influence on members of Congress and State Legislators.
Spending lots of money on POTUS candidates is wasteful, the bulk of the money will be spent once each party has adopted a standard bearer.
It's then that the bulk of the money is spent, mostly by Super PACS and mostly on negative campaigns and character assassination.
Upset? Is this a projection? Can I safely assume when you catch an untruth or bullshitter you are upset when you respond? Can you consider any other motive, emotion, angle I would be coming from? I suspect like Trump with the videos and Hillary with the airport danger, you are misremembering things you may have already read or heardAh, so they're way ahead of me.Mac1958 Your statement "Seems to me they might start pouring money into more organizational/infrastructure stuff..." has been in the news for months now.

Well, I wasn't exactly in front on that one.
Why are you so upset about this?

So again, what is it you think you are asking people to discuss? Could you be a bit more clear?It doesn't seem money is buying much by way of influence with voters.

I suspect like Trum
The OP sees that a celebrity who gets unlimited free TV time doesn't express a need for super pacs......and makes the false connection that CU isn't the clusterfuck that everyone knows it is.
Great stuff.
