Hillary Clinton has turned up the rhetorical temperature on Donald Trump lately...
Ugly currents that lurked just the below the surface of our politics have burst into the open. And everyone sees this bigotry for what it is, therefore it is up to all of us to repudiate it, Clinton said during a speech on race at the annual National Action Network convention...
You would think that means she thinks Trump is so bad he should be radioactive to others in politics, and sure enough, the Democratic message machine has gone to great lengths to paint even Trumps most determined adversaries within the GOP as the Party of Trump.
And one of the time-honored political rituals when a political figure is cast as beyond the pale is to demand that the politician give back campaign contributions. Trump himself has pledged to return money from a prominent white supremacist, while Hillary has pledged to refuse donations from the private prison industry, and is under pressure from Greenpeace to return donations from the fossil fuel industry, as well as facing questions about accepting a six-figure donation from Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton ....
But what about taking money from Trump and his family? Trump, of course, has been a long-time major donor to Democrats, including Hillary, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer, and donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation....
Even in the hotly-contested Democratic primary, in which Bernie Sanders has made a very big issue of Secretary Clintons fundraising, theres been hardly a peep about the Clintons taking Trumps money. A petition at Change.org to have her return the money has, at this writing, just 13 signatures. Maybe the Clintons, and Democrats, dont really see Trump as so far outside the mainstream of their party after all.

When National Review Fires all of their executive leadership, and most of it’s NEOCON writers.
Oh my, looky, looky, some flunky at National Repuke is angling to get yet another hit piece in on Donald Trump as a builder before the NY primary.
No conscience what so evah.
Zip.
Why would they?
Trump has tons of RAT friends, voters, supporters, beneficiaries. Cruz hasn’t any of the above. You are also known by the company that keeps YOU.

By most accounts Cruz doesn’t have any friends.
When Will Democrats Return Trumps Donations?

On Tuesday, November 8, 2016 General Election day —
I certainly do. Hillary and Rev. Al are bigots.
What has any of that to do with the article?
Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.
Roger Stone brought up an interesting piece of information awhile back.
He said since Trump has given to the Clinton Foundation as a businessman, Trump would have standing to sue the Clinton Foundation and expose this nation’s largest laundering scheme.
That would be some powerful ammo if the presidential election came down to Trump and Hillary, which is most likely unless the FBI gets their way or the GOPe steals it for their establishment candidate.
I thought that was very interesting and probably one of the things the left and GOPe (well, the Uniparty) fears if Trump were President.

If Trump is so bad, why hasn’t Ted also returned the money?
Pretty obvious.....it’s called payola, even bribery money. So if the democrats should return the “donations” does that mean Trump should disclose whatever he got in return for his generous contributions to these democrats, like maybe special zoning, overlooking building inspections, eminent domain, inferior building materials, etc?
I used to think I had a lot of like minded friends on FR. Recent events indicate I was wrong.
When the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.
National Review has become the ENEMY of conservatism.
Absolute NEOCON SCUM.
