Question in a safe forum:

Does anyone know whether AIPAC is contributing
to HRC and if so why?
Seems to me that that group should be happy
to give support to a first jewish candidate for
the US presidency. The fact that it has been
reported that HRC sent a "love letter" to Bibi
makes me wonder.

I have no idea, though that "love letter" might have some merit. Good question, sadoldgirl! n/t CaliforniaPeggy Nov 2015 #1

I think AIPAC tends to do the most conservative or most likely to be able to be influenced candidate LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #2

They can't contribute directly to her campaign. jeff47 Nov 2015 #3

And superPACs generally don't have to report donors.

So there isn't going to be an answer to this that can be backed up.

Bernie Sander's does not accept donations from PACs, this would include AIPAC.
