“I hear the Rickets family who own the Chicago Cubs are secretlty spending $’s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide”

Sounds like an extortion threat....

Just sayin

If it was extortion, he wouldn’t have mentioned it publicly.

That’s not extortion, it’s an ultimatum.

Unrelated, there was this in the article:

“It does stir it up and he sucks all the oxygen in the room and other candidates can’t get out there, but I don’t think it’s going to work very well here,”... said the next in a long line of people in denial.

Nope. Simple quid pro quo.

Extortion is such a dirty word. Advise sounds much more better.

Just sayin

Why would Ricketts extort Trump?

That’s what you meant, right?

Usually the Extortionist makes the first move as Ricketts did going after Trump.

She should use that Money to bolster the Cubs Bench.

Disclaimer-1 : I'm a Ted Cruz Florida Campaigner

Disclaimer-2 : I've posted "many" complimentary photos and posts at Free Republic admiring Donald Trump's great ideas and courage



If it quacks & walks like a Duck ... it must be a Duck" ...

Isn't that a New York proverb ?


Donald Trump "occasionally" sounds like Putin, Mussolini, or Hillary chatting with Vince Foster ...

It's a damn frightening thing ...



I hope that all those Trump-supporting "Conservative Evangelical Christians" are praying their butts off ...

that The LORD will save Donald from appearing like The Godfather ... (see Disclaimer-2 above) ...
