At least 2 things. He's not as rich as he claims and that he pays a very low level of income taxes. A possible third is an income stream out of Russia.

Poor Reince Priebus.
As Wallace said, there's not a dime's difference between the two parties.

I don't have any politician heroes. Wallace was a blind squirrel that got lucky on this particular acorn.

Few months ago during my daily playtime in my self built playground I got an alert on my iPhone telling me that Trump was live. So I unlocked my phone and clicked "Listen Live" and I put it on speaker and set the phone down and listened while pushing the twins in the swings. They asked him how much he paid in taxes and he said "as little as I can legally get away with BECAUSE I Don't Agree With How Tax Dollars Are Spent."

I see nothing wrong with that. I agree with what he said 100%

The GOP nominated a racist birther for the Presidency. That is pretty different from the Democrats.

At least $10.00 difference, on the Wallace scale, I'd say.

Here's an interesting article from an upcoming book on Trump from a couple of WashPost writers who were given significant access to Trump for months.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...3a2_story.html

Here's an interesting excerpt:

In one of his books, “Trump: Think Like a Billionaire,” he had asserted that visionary business leaders succeed “because they are narcissists who devote their talent with unrelenting focus to achieving their dreams, even if it’s sometimes at the expense of those around them.” He approvingly quoted a writer who said, “Successful alpha personalities display a single-minded determination to impose their vision on the world.”

The media, which is totally in the tank for Hillary, carefully combs through every word Trump says, then cherry picks bits and pieces out of context and blows them out of proportion in order to demonize Trump as much as possible. They have to do this because there is no way to present a case for voting for Hillary other than to make Trump into a Boogeyman. There is no way she can run on her own dismal, corrupt, and self serving record.
