This pro-Clinton super PAC teaches regular people to use talking points

In a story published last night, the Washington Post details the activities of Correct the Record, a new super PAC dedicated to prepping Hillary Clinton supporters to speak to the press. The PAC is hosting training sessions in early primary states to drill the grassroots on talking points and polish supporters' personal stories of why they like Clinton.

It's common for campaigns to train staff and other candidate surrogates to speak on message, but the Post notes that "the effort to script and train local supporters is unusually ambitious," demonstrating the lengths to which the Clinton camp will go to create a surprise-free echo chamber of support.

For a taste of the talking points Clinton backers are learning, check out Correct the Record's website, which addresses everything from Clinton's travel habits to Vice President Joe Biden's record. Or, if social gatherings are more your style, take a look at the Clinton campaign's eight-page guide to hosting a house party, which includes helpful tips like inviting your friends and charging your cell phone.
