Well the candidates aren’t supposed to know anything about it. They’re incommunicado. That said, Carly clearly would know about it, because everywhere she goes she has her PAC. They’re at her events, organizing, doing the recruitment for volunteers. The only difference between them and Carly’s actual campaign is that they have a small sticker on their literature that says “We’re a Super PAC!”. They’re basically running her campaign.
If you’re asking “does no one know who is doing the funding?” Well, we know who is funding these PACs. They publish the names of them every so often I believe. Fiorina’s, for example, receives its largest donations from a Univision goon. That oughta tell you all you need to know about Carly.
I see.
Hypothetically, so a political insider PAC that takes say, $3,200,000 from pro-X candidate and gives it to pro-Y candidate, the X candidate has no clue how much money their pro insider PACs are getting, or if they're even broke?
If the Super Pac supporting Cruz sees a tactical advantage in supporting Carly, as an attack dog or vote splitter, this makes sense.
Only this time, the Mob walked the loot over to the other stooge in broad daylight, instead of doing it on the sly. That’s how confident they are that the little chess game to nominate Bush would go unnoticed.
That is, until Trump comes along and spoils the little splitter strategy devised to elect Jeb. They had to promote Carly the Splitter to Carly the Hitter, so her role became more visible as it shifted from divide votes to putting the heat on Trump.
Is Cruz in on this? I dunno, but he isn’t allowed to tell the Super Pac what to do. I think it’s possible Cruz has left the GOPe reservation, and the money guys are playing their own games.
This election is interesting, if nothing else.
