Trump has the additional drawback of being the Republican candidate least able to exploit the Clinton Foundation, as he was a donor.

I think the Foundation is potentially a bigger scandal than the e-mails. Fact is, she took money from foreign countries and businesses doing business with the USA while she was Sec of State. Were she anyone else, this conflict of interest would bar her from holding the position. The Foundation is a sham - 84+% of the “contributions” goes to “overhead”. It’s money paid for influence, simple.

And Trump paid it.

Libs are the first to decry (conservative) money in politics. Much of the Trump/Sanders revolt is that the system is fixed by big money. The Clintons are the poster children for this. The other Republican candidates can drive this home; Trump can not, without admitting to soliciting a bribe.

Nonsense. Cruz has accepted multi million dollar “donations” from individuals. He’s in a far worse position than Trump on the Politican-Donor Complex issue.

I disagree. Trump has standing to claim that he was a victim of fraud.
