2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Clinton, Sanders & O'Malley should pledge to reject/return Super PAC funds during primary [View all]
For purposes of this poll only, I'm assuming that the Democratic nominee will use super PAC funds in the General Election (recognizing Sanders' pledge to the contrary).
6 votes, 0 passes | Time left: Unlimited | |
Yes: All Democratic candidates should reject AND RETURN super PAC funds (spent/unspent) until primary is completed (that means reimbursing super PACs that have already run ads) | |
5 (83%) |

Yes: All Democratic candidates should reject AND RETURN super PAC funds (unspent) until primary is completed (that means HRC isn't on hook to reimburse advertisers for prior super PAC expenses) | |
0 (0%) |
|
No: Participating in oligarchic, corrupt political system at any point in the primary is acceptable, even if you "support financial reform" | |

It's a moot point, zazen. SuperPACs are prohibited to coodinate *directly* with the candidates
