Ok, that was bad.

Man, I'm sure you were retroactively PISSED!

I was pissed learning about what horrible things he did, and very relieved that he never met my son. He also wasn't that impressed with the photo of the sandwich guy and me. Haha.
Anybody who has been a parent gets very angry at people who hurt or exploits children.

Yup. Have 3 myself; feel the same way. Hell, I get mad at even the hint of someone dissing my 15 year old, and he can handle himself better than me at this point, probably. The other two are still youngish, at 12 and 6. It really is the worst sort of scumbag that takes advantage of children.

This.

I'd pay a dollar to see him say that to Trump

Is this alone enough reason to hope he makes the candidates' debate?

I've been saying - I'm probably not gonna watch the debates unless Johnson is in them. He'd be epic for both main party candidates. I'd love to see him and Hillary go at each other on policy while Trump makes farting noises in the background.

Now trumps just being greedy

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/24/donald-trump-used-campaign-donations-to-buy-55-000-of-his-own-book.html

At least try to be more subtle about it.

The only thing more outrageous would be somebody trying to explain how Trump is not a totally, corrupt sleazebag. I love how Clinton gets the crap kicked out of her, but this putz quintuples the rent for space IN HIS OWN DAMN BUILDING and then lines his pockets like this by buying books with donor money.

This is a new level of brazen crookedness. Dude is insane. And people really trust this POS to be president?

And I love how they bought the books at full price from B & N. They can certainly get them in bulk at wholesale. At least then they could argue they were watching the campaign's expenses. It makes absolutely no sense. I'd like to find out what Trump's book royalty is based on how the book is purchased to see if there is any difference.

Also, from the article:

Previous FEC filings have revealed the Trump campaign spends millions utilizing Tag Air Inc., of which Trump is CEO, to travel by private jet. He also uses Trump buildings to house members of his staff and to host official events, and frequents the Trump Grill in the lobby of Trump Tower.

No other presidential candidate in history has had access to such a vast universe of self-titled business to frequent during their campaign.

I'm telling you this pig would gut the country for anything he can get his hands on and what he wouldn't keep for himself he'd hand out to those who praise Caesar.

The end of that article is precious:

Still, Trump has continued on the offensive this week, calling for a special investigation against his opponent, Hillary Clinton, and her family’s foundation, which he claims is “crooked.”

On a Monday morning edition of Fox & Friends, Trump called Bill and Hillary Clinton “grifters” and said that “the whole thing with them is a scam.”

Even though I realize this isn't the thing to be correcting but it messes with my OCD. Jared was into teenage girls not little boys so those inappropriate jokes don't really work

I actually think that's a good strategy on his part. Her false health problems and the foundation is pretty much all he has to attack her on. He should probably magnify it even more. It's his only chance.

So he's meeting with people who are already likely his supporters? How does that help him with his minority outreach?

I think the idea is to get young republicans of color to go out into the hood and recruit. They'll be wearing pin stripe suits and :football:

Federal/Supreme Court judges would be much much worse under Trump. I see that as the big difference if we had to chose between the two.

No, I don't think so. Hillary is just such a flawed candidate to me on so many other issues I find important. But if I lived in a swing state, I'd probably be voting for her. Trump is just plain crazy and incompetent and a sociopath.

Donald Trump now supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

Wasn't the wall and mass deportation essentially the only concrete thing about his campaign?

Yep, and his white male working class base is none too happy about it, to say the least.

According to him, his voters told him to do it

“When I go through and meet thousands and thousands of people on this subject, and they’ve said, ‘Mr. Trump, I love you, but to take a person who’s been here for 15 or 20 years and throw them and their family out, it’s so tough, Mr. Trump,’” he told Hannity. “I have it all the time! It’s a very, very hard thing.”

Depends on your feelings.
I think we are.

I don't doubt that you feel that way, but you also stated that you think Hillary will nominate conservative Justices, which is a virtual impossibility.

So I'm not sure what your feelings are based on in reference to what Wingo brought up.
