Look who has signed onto the Trump SuperPac as chief strategist...

[scrosnoe]

A pro-Donald Trump super PAC has tapped Jesse Benton, a veteran Republican operative with ties to Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, to serve as its chief strategist.
The move is the latest indication that the super PAC, dubbed Great America PAC, is developing into a serious organization — one looking to buttress Trump in the final stretch of the Republican primary and, potentially, the general election.

From another thread:

A newly formed political action committee is using Donald Trump's name and trademarked slogan—"Make America Great Again"—in an unusual fundraising ploy. The group, the Great America PAC, has no connection to the Trump campaign, but it has been blasting out emails soliciting donations that it claims will be channeled directly to Team Trump. In a recent email, the PAC implored donors to help "build a grassroots wall of support around Donald Trump by chipping in at least $5 to have your name placed on his official FEC report by signing the 'I Support Donald Trump' petition." On the PAC's website, donors are asked to donate between $5 and $1,000.

The website notes that the first $5 of each donation will be sent to the Trump campaign. And Dan Backer, the group's treasurer, tells Mother Jones that this money is indeed "earmarked" for Trump. What happens to the rest of the money, for any donations greater than $5, is not clear. The email does promise to use money the group raises to build a vaguely described grassroots operation that will help support Trump. But there's no telling how much of the money gathered by this Trumpy PAC will directly fund pro-Trump activities.

The fundraising email is signed by Amy Kremer, a former chairman of the Tea Party Express. Kremer did not respond to a request for comment.

never ceases to amaze me that people give money to these vehicles that they don't know who runs or how the money will ultimately be spent; must have more disposable income than they know what to do with...
