In reply to the discussion: Clinton blesses Bloomberg as a back-up if she loses to Sanders. [View all]Gothmog
(145,839 posts)155. You are wrong-the Karl Rove super pac has been running negative ads to help Sanders
Sanders was assisted by the nurses super pac and now Karl Rove's super pac is running attack ads on Sanders behalf attacking Clinton http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-karl-rove-attack
The Hillary Clinton campaign on Tuesday said that recent attacks from conservatives show that Republicans are hoping Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will win the Democratic nomination because they believe he would be easier to beat in the general election.
In a Tuesday evening statement, the Clinton campaign's communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, mentioned an ad from the Rove-aligned super PAC American Crossroads, which accused Clinton of being in Wall Street's pocket. Palmieri said the ad suggests that Republicans want to face Sanders in the general election.
"While Senator Sanders tries to make a case on electability based on meaningless polls, Republicans and their super PACs have made clear the candidate theyre actually afraid to face. The Sanders argument falls apart when the GOP spokesman is trying to help him and the Republicans run ads trying to stop Hillary Clinton in the primary," she said in the statement.

Karl Rove's super pack is running an attack ad against Clinton in the Iowa primary. Sanders is benefiting right now from the expenditures of a super pac.
