Super PACs Spend Campaign Cash -- Even If Candidates Don't Want It

Even for presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders who have denounced the political groups, the super PACs are planning big spends on their behalf. In more campaign news, after questioning other candidates but not releasing his own medical records, Trump says he will do so.

Unlike formal campaigns for president, super PACs are allowed by law to accept donations of any size. That fact makes them a juicy political target for populist candidates such as Trump and Sanders. Yet already, a super PAC allied with a nurses' union that endorsed Sanders over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in August has put more than $600,000 into pro-Sanders digital and print ads in the important early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. Billboards put up by the super PAC, National Nurses United for Patient Protection, proclaim: "Politics As Usual Won't Guarantee Healthcare For All. Bernie Will." (12/2)

Donald Trump said Thursday he will release a doctor's report of his health within two weeks and it will show "perfection." ... Earlier in the morning Trump touted his health after a Politico report Thursday morning pointed out that he had called on other candidates to release their medical reports but had not released his own. (LoBianco, 12/3)

Donald Trump says he is in good health, but voters up to now have had to take his word for it. Trump once said that all presidential candidates should release their medical records. But so far in the 2016 race, he had declined to release his, and a campaign spokeswoman had not responded to multiple requests for comment about the candidate鈥檚 health records stretching back to October. (Schreckinger, 12/3)
