Who the hell is 45Committee? I just saw a TV commercial calling out my senator, Sherrod Brown
Telling Trumpbots to call Brown's office to demand that he confirm Dr. Tom Price, "physician and Budget Expert," so that repukes can save Medicare and get rid of the evil Obamacare.
Leaving for work but I'm sure somebody here has the lowdown on 45committee.

An ad set to debut nationwide on Wednesday morning calls it "a new bombshell" that the FBI disclosed it is again looking at Clinton's email practices. The 30-second commercial opens with Richard Nixon saying "people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook." It concludes with the question: "How can we elect someone who is under FBI investigation?"
That should have been jumped on by the Clinton campaign - Nixon was talking about the IRS audit of his tax returns, and audit which proved that Nixon had back dated donations of his papers so that he could try to get a deduction. He was eventually found liable for that amount and had to pay significant penalties for that attempt.
If the Clinton campaign had been sharp, they could have linked Trump's tax audit to Nixon's and linked Nixon's crook status to Trump. Yet another point that could have changed the election results.
