Hillary Clinton Apparently Following Jeb Bush Super PAC Outsourcing Model

WaPo:

The shake-up is being driven by concerns among Clinton advisers that the group needs to be led by a close ally who has been embedded in the former secretary of state’s political world and will be able to anticipate the needs of the campaign.

While super PACs are not allowed to coordinate strategy with candidates, the independent big-money groups are increasingly functioning asextensions of the official campaign operations. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has devoted the last several months to raising tens of millions for his super PAC, Right to Rise, which is expected to be run by Mike Murphy, one of his top political advisers.

“When you look at what Jeb Bush is doing, everybody knew super PACs were going to be important, but that took it to a whole new level,” said the person familiar with the Priorities discussions.

This is a bad development.
