Jimmy Mcmillan, There were a lot of (justified) laments this election cycle the anonymity of donor’s pour millions of dollars into advertising campaigns that target more often than Democrats.

But if more and more rare when the curtain is raised, we find that the usual suspects – the interests of companies with medium and super-rich conservative ideologues – are funding outside groups attacking the Democrats and Republicans strengthened across the country.

As a watchdog campaign finance told the Washington Post Sunday, “Obviously what you see with some of these reports is the tip of the iceberg. But even when you see the tip of the iceberg, you have a pretty good idea of what the rest of the iceberg is likely to resemble. ”
