New York Times: Mrs. Clintons allied super PACs, mindful that to resist the tide is to drown, are soliciting giant donations in earnest now, with her blessing. But the disparity, which has worried many Democrats, also has to do with the ambivalence, or outright disdain, that Mrs. Clintons donors say they feel, and that some say they have picked up from her, about the role that super PACs should play That early discomfort points to the adjustment the Clintons and their vast circles of donors are having to make to the sharply altered fund-raising environment since the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision in 2010.
