6. They can defer the reckoning on AIPAC all they want

In the real-world of primaries this year D candidates who run against AIPAC are more often than not eating the lunch of those who take their money.

The daft thing, to use the mildest term I can come up with, is AIPAC isn’t even spending its money on ads directly promoting their cause. Because they know fealty to Israel, that thing they demand, is a big fat political loser with most Denocratic voters. So they hide behind generically-named groups formed to take down candidates who don’t espouse unconditional aid to Israel with any negative ads they can come up with.
