While hitting the campaign trail in Iowa earlier this month, former Florida governor and current Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush said in a radio interview, “We just started to advertise — actually the Right to Rise PAC started to advertise, not our campaign.” His confusion is understandable. The line between Bush’s official campaign and nominally independent super PAC have found many ways — some of them of questionable legality — to work in concert in the 2016 race, safe in the knowledge that a gridlocked Federal Election Commission (FEC) has publicly declared they are unable to enforce campaign finance law.
