Hillary For President

In 2000 Donald Trump told Fortune magazine, “It’s very possible that I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it.”

During this primary season, Donald Trump made a point of not taking outside donations, but now he is. Some of Trump’s campaign money is making its way back to the candidate himself, because unlike any other candidate in modern history, Trump is using his businesses for his campaign.
-----------------------------------------------
Throughout the campaign, he’s paid his own aviation company $5.6 million to fly his multiple planes like his luxury 757.

He also spent more than $423,000 to rent out his private Mar-a-Lago club. And in July, Trump’s campaign paid $48,239 to rent the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County. By comparison, holding an event for thousands of people at the nearby Westchester County Center costs about $10,000.

On rent, the campaign has spent over $830,000 for office space at Trump Tower. In July, it paid over $169,000, up 133 percent from May. Trump officials reportedly said they expanded into more office space in anticipation of additional staff.

“So as much as it looks like he is putting money into the campaign, he is filling space in his building that otherwise, there would be no revenue off of, so it absolutely is circular,” Spies said.

Cute, I bet Willard approves.

Every poll showed Bernie beating Trump more handily in the General than Hillary and, unlike Clinton, none showed Bernie losing to Trump. It's now beginning to emerge that Hillary is becoming a drag on the down ticket races, so we don't get the Senate back and we make no dent in the Republican House majority.

But don't worry, Bob. I'm going to be much too depressed and frightened to say "I told you so".

Neither will work very well.

Where the Clinton campaign has miscalculated is that the whole world knows that Trump is devil incarnate and continuing to drive home the same talking points over and over has little to no effect. His supporters do not care, GOP mostly is looking the other way and the independents are saying 'what's new?'.

But if you live in a glass house and all you can see is reflections of yourself, very little can be accomplished. And this shows.

But I am sure there is a poll somewhere that shows Clinton leading by 10 points that lets her team slap each other in the back and remain complacent. They need a reality check but heck, any criticism of Hillary will be dealt with a strong push back. So the larger electorate really does not care anymore and are mostly disengaged.

And this is just my opinion, of course it's negative, take it or leave it. I just don't give a shit anymore.

Except there isn't. Hillary's campaign doesn't know whether to shit or go blind.

Meanwhile, it looks like Comey is trying to tamp down an insurrection within the FBI as a result of his cowardice with respect to prosecuting Hillary.

Washington (CNN)FBI Director James Comey is defending the bureau's Friday afternoon release of documents from the Hillary Clinton email investigation, saying "we don't play games" and that the documents were put out when ready.
In a memo to employees Wednesday, Comey said the decision to not recommend charges against the now-Democratic nominee wasn't a close call.

"At the end of the day, the case itself was not a cliff-hanger; despite all the chest-beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn't a prosecutable case," he said in the memo.

All is not lost, Boreas, no matter how much you enjoy taking that spin.

I repeat, the campaign hasn't really started yet. Timing, gentlemen. The 'dirt stupid' voters will vote on November 8th.

What a steaming pantsload, John.

St. Birdie, the Prophet of Lake Champlain was never even vetted by the MSM. He would've been left blinking owlishly and gesticulating like a wild man at the oppo shitstorm headed his way if he'd won the primary.

The chest beaters he was referencing were the RWNJ's in and out of congress, John.

Oh, well, since you repeated it, it must be true.

Neverthess, every word in my post is factual. Every word in yours, on the other hand, is conjecture unsupported by the facts we do know. Is this what you guys are down to now? Pretty "weak tea", Bob. Pretty thin gruel.

If you said it, it must be true.
