I don’t believe this one was orchestrated by Trump, but I wish it was.

Mind you, enough people were going to either stay home or vote Perot anyway.
It’s not just what Lawrence Walsh did to a very good man, Caspar Weinberger.
It’s the reprehensible treatment of Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan during the Reagan administration. It’s the indictment of Tom DeLay. It’s the FBI ignoring the true leak of the Valerie Plame nothingburger and setting up Scooter Libby.

I hope this event in history is all over Twitter so people can see the typical DOUBLE STANDARD.
1992. Uniparty candidate 1, or uniparty candidate 2. Outcome: Lets go with the prettier one.
prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a “culture of corruption”... I like the term “culture of corruption”. Trump could use that slogan, oh man!
War hero loses to Draft Dodger. :(
War hero now backs wife of draft dodger to show his open-mindedness.
