I personally congratulate Hillary, and the Pacs associated with her for helping other democrats with their elections. We need a strong champion of the party who is concerned about a greater message than herself.
However, this is really just odd. Hillary, her superpac’s, her donations, it is all the root of all that is evil in the world and with the Democratic party. That’s what I keep hearing.
So Imagine my surprise when I saw this looking at Hillpac donations:

So it is never okay to accept donations from any type of bank of financial institution?
But if those donations come through the DNC, DSCC, and now HillPac, it is then okay?
I am sure some Bernie supporter will be along any moment to tell my how this is in fact not hypocritical.
