Just when you think the bar is set as low as it can go...

...someone finds another level.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...p-dirt-n648591

Hillary Clinton ally David Brock wants your Donald Trump dirt, and he's willing to pay top dollar for it.

Correct the Record, one of the well-funded super PACs Brock founded, is creating a WikiLeaks-style project to pay anonymous tipsters for scoops, which they're calling Trump Leaks.

Posting a bounty for dirt on a political opponent is highly unusual in modern politics and seems to cross a new line in the rules of war. "We're going to extraordinary lengths because this is an extraordinary situation," Brock said.

Why not, sounds like something Karl Rove would do.
Then again why fret, the dump on Trump is mostly backfiring.

Why bother, he's the gift that just keeps giving and giving all by himself.

How nice. Tacit approval for lowering the bar.

...and we wonder why things are so screwed up in politics?

I take it you are speaking of Trump.
And if you do decide to vote for Trump, let me know afterwards how low you had to stoop.

Brock learned from the best, Republicans.

And so Hillary hired him. A sleaze is still a sleaze, even when they change teams.

What happened to your mantra, "By any means necessary", Boreas? Now you're astonished that there is gambling in the casino?

I'll give you this, you never miss a chance to display your distaste for all things Clinton. Seriously, it's like you want Trump to win. It boggles the mind, brother.

Seems selfish and more than a little childish. I hope President Clinton brings back the kiddie table for the far left from her basement in Chappaqua. She assured a place at the table for our 'more leftier than thou' cousins in the Democratic Party but she didn't say which table.
