They are pulling out all the stops and they can’t come up with anything with any meat. His worst faux pas doesn’t come close to Hillary’s best day.

Not even that.
They're accusing him of donating to "right-leaning policy groups" to get their support for a future presidential run as far back as 2011. -->
Real Clear Politics tracked a series of donations Trump made through his foundation between 2011 and 2014 totaling at least $286,000 to right-leaning policy groups. The analysis found that timing of the donations lined up with endorsements from such groups or speaking invitations at conferences and events. These engagements gave him a stage and access to the voters he would later hope to court during his unconventional presidential campaign.
Using Trump Foundation dollars to bolster his own political career would violate self-dealing rules, which prevents use of charitable dollars for personal use or benefit. The candidate himself has not given to his own foundation since 2008, reports show, meaning those funds given to the conservative groups were donated by others who thought their money would be used for charity.

Meanwhile, the journobloggers in The Media contnue to avert their eyes to the multiple felonies committed by Hillary.
They'd have a lot more credibility if they were screaming about her, too.
As it is, they appear to be no more than Democrat Party operatives. And it's their own fault.

But Trump has not donated to the foundation that bears his name since 2008, CNN reported last month, which means other donors bore the cost of his giving. No, it doesn't. Depending on the funding Trump already provided, it could run on that endowment for perpetuity, if annual expenditures are managed properly.
I don't have any problem with the scrutiny being applied to the Trump Foundation. But, if the same scrutiny isn't applied to the Clinton Foundation, they are being hypocrites.

Good. I hope he stocked his apartment at Mar a Lago with vintage Bordeaux and bought French Maid uniforms for his personal staff.

Amazing how the journalists can suddenly dig up information -— WHEN THEY APPROVE OF THE TARGET!
To: ColdOne
Think it was Rush today that hinted that ALL these Trump critics would have given an ‘eye tooth’ to have been invited to ONE Trump function in the past. (I embellished Rush remarks)
I think his acceptance speech should be short, to the point and end up with his standard ‘YOU’RE FIRED’ AND remind ALL that ‘paybacks are hell’ and remind the so called 25% of Fed Workers that supposedly claimed they would quit before working under Pres Trump that they may as well as a good house cleaning was coming.
Have to teach these cretins that WORDS MEAN SOMETHING.
AND on FIRST day or as part of the Inaugural Speech, ‘Fire’ FBI, CIA, IRS Directors and tell their ‘right hands’ to not get very comfortable.
On DAY 2 call in JCS members, SecNav, Army, AF, and have a heart to heart with all of them together & individually.
To ‘save his voice’, just record “YOU’RE FIRED” and play it loud & often.
That should be a VERY INTERESTING couple of months between election & inauguration ....when these clowns on the inside try and steal everything that isn’t nailed down etc...
