even listess transparent than the super superpacs. they re seeing the law is not being enforced. lowest penalty since any year despite the money being raised is going up and up and unp. they re tempted in the same way before there was a speed cam on my street, people used to speed routinely because they thought nobody would notice. as soon as they put the speed camera in people suddenly started obeying the speed limit. it wasn t that they didn t know what they were doing was against the law, they thought they were going to get away with it, nobody would notice, there wouldn t be a penalty. i m afraid that s the dynamic we re seeing in politics today where everyone looks around and see one person taking an aggressive view about the law, not talking about anybody in particular, but somebody every cycle comes up with a new, aggressive way of pushing the limits on the law. everybody else looks around and they say, i didn t get in trouble. and if i don t do the same thing, then i m going to
superpac. kbt . hillary clinton is regularly meeting with people of her superpac, raises money for them. the deal with superpacs, sure they can raise the money they want in unlimited amounts, spend as much as they want no limits. many donors remain secret and anonymous. they re not supposed to be coordinating at all with candidates and their actual campaigns. that s the supposed arrangement. this election is pushing the boundaries of those laws. it s pushing the boundaries in lots of ways. strategically you can t raise all the money because apparently the money is infyiinfinite. even though you can only put that money in superpacs and not in your actual campaign, run your campaign out of your superpac. strategic ways you might push somebody out of the race, strategic ways you might have to actually sing for your supper ins terms of getting from here to the campaign days that s drifting away.

why would he drop out? and even jeb bush who has been raising money hand over fist he has been raising the bulk of that money for not his campaign but his superpac. jeb bush and his superbapac on track to raise $100 million by the end of this month. say you re not doing that great in the polls but have tens of millions of maybe hundreds of millions of dollars, why would you drop out? the money is being raised in unexpected ways during this election. it s contributing to the way the entire republican field is shaping up and it s not just that perspective candidates are raising unprecedented amounts of money from outside group, superpacs. candidates are pushing the bounds of how they re going to use superpacs as arms of their campaigns. jeb bush s superpac has taken over the traditional work of the campaign, advertising, direct mail, data gathering, phone banking. they re going to do that all through the pac. not through the campaign. can they do that? on the other side hillary clinton i
