If you look at your links, it says American Crossroads is planning to to run against her and I am sure it will be a negative. They are testing various attacks now.

However, that iss different than what Hillary claimed which was the Republicans are running Ads now and the claim was that they are running these ads to manipulate the primaries because they do not want to run against Hillary. However, it does not prove this at all. It does not even suggest it or hint at this. All it proves is that everyone has and still does think Hillary will be the candidate and the republican machine is gearing up for who they think will be the ultimate nominee..

Is any group (including american crossroads) running current ads to somehow influence the primaries or are they just stretching the truth about republicans preparing for the general?

Crossroads ran ads in Iowa days before their caucus. ucrdem Feb 2016 #4

This is an online ad. The article itself said they are preparing for the General not the Primary Rilgin Feb 2016 #5

The NYT article is from July, and we're both online right now. ucrdem Feb 2016 #6

I also see Videos of Established Politicians putting down Bernie's chances Rilgin Feb 2016 #7

Targeting means targeting. In any case you saw the ad so mission accomplished eh? ucrdem Feb 2016 #8

You are just being inauthentic now. I am hoping that someone will answer yes or no on ads. Rilgin Feb 2016 #9

Did you read the NYT article? ucrdem Feb 2016 #10

People most certainly do question HRC on her economic ties and her foreign policy and on war. delrem Feb 2016 #11

You apparently didnt read the Article. They are preparing for who they THINK will be the nominee Rilgin Feb 2016 #12

Its a really easy question Rilgin Feb 2016 #14

Good question, and I believe she knew the amount, or mentioned it at least, 6 million dollar figure. Jefferson23 Feb 2016 #15

My answer... asuhornets Feb 2016 #16

Why does everything she says... asuhornets Feb 2016 #17

It is suspect because its early in the Primary Season and Republicans are running against each other Rilgin Feb 2016 #18

If you have to ask, then you'll never know. frylock Feb 2016 #19
