2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Simple solution Skinner, a POLL, should Skinner "Call It"??? [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)66. You weren't talking about the HVF--you were talking about the DNC agreed-upon fundraisers.
Nice attempt to flip, change the subject, and play gotcha, though. Thanks for showing those true colors, so we all know.
Super PACS are a different animal than the DNC fundraisers--which are detailed in that link but are distinct from them.
From YOUR link:
DNC LIMITS
In addition to donating to specific candidates, a donor can give up to $66,800 per election cycle to the Democratic National Committee.
As your very own link notes, the STATE parties (which affiliate with the HVF) are a different animal entirely:
STATE PARTY COMMITTEES
Beyond the candidate and the DNC, a donor can give up to $20,000 per election cycle to the party committees in states that have agreed to sign on to the Hillary Victory Fund. With 32 eligible states and Puerto Rico, the state party committee limits total $660,000.
By maxing out each of these limits, a single donor can effectively contribute $732,200 per election cycle thats 135 times the individual candidate limit.
Nice game of apples and oranges you're playing--and NPR did not say what you insinuated at all. You should read your own sources and stop trying to change the subject.
There's no difference between this effort and HILLPAC which HRC created when she was in the Senate. You remember HILLPAC, don't you? Bernie sure does--he took money from it at least twice.

No, it isn't. The bulk of the dough raised at those shindigs go to the PARTY, not the headliner.

The Party. The headliner gets a cut, the headliner does not control the cash at all. nt

Why are you so afraid of Bernie's continued candidacy? Of letting all the Democrats have their say?

DWS probably goes by the handle "RepublicanInDisguise" if she is honest in her self-naming.

Continuing the charade of the Sanders Campaign at this point just helps Republicans.
