About the only person that would run against Trump I wouldn't vote for is Ted Cruz, tho he is the Giant Douche from the South Park 'Douche and Turd Sandwich mascot' episode, with Trump as the Turd sandwich.

You know better than that. The evidence has been discussed here and will continue to be as the rest of the wikileaks emails are revealed.

From Hillary's own mouth.

"I am grateful to Debbie for getting the Democratic Party to this year's historic convention in Philadelphia, and I know that this week's events will be a success thanks to her hard work and leadership," she said.

"There's simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie--which is why I am glad that she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign's 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and in other key states."
oops!

Perhaps you've forgotten this. It makes sense that you'd try.

In January 2005, USA Today reported that documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that Williams had been paid $240,000 to promote the controversial No Child Left Behind Act. USA Today claimed Williams was hired "to promote the law on his nationally syndicated television show and to urge other black journalists to do the same".[17]

As part of the agreement, Williams was required "to regularly comment on NCLB during the course of his broadcasts," and to interview Education Secretary Rod Paige for TV and radio spots that aired during the show in 2004".[18] The contract with Williams was part of a $1 million contract between the U.S. Department of Education and the public relations company Ketchum Inc.

Melanie Sloan from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington told USA Today that the contract may be illegal "because Congress has prohibited propaganda ... [A]nd it's propaganda." United States Representative George Miller (D-CA), a member of the House Education Committee, called the contract "a very questionable use of taxpayers' money" that is "probably illegal."[19]

How is she doing what, continuing to act as a Hillary surrogate? I don't know. I guess you'll have to ask Hillary. She said it.
