Don't be ridiculous, rich people use their own money in politics all of the time. Have you never heard of Koch, Soros, or Adelson? Trump ran on exactly that narrative, "I'm a rich guy. I'm self funding. I'm beholden to none. I'll be fixing the system from the inside." Do you remember?

You're twisting yourself in knots to defend your nominee and that's okay. There's no law against voting against your own interests.


It's not a class thingy. Sigh. He's a huckster and America is his potential customer. He's not wealthy enough to self fund. He's having trouble raising money because the 'money' people can't hold their noses quite tight enough yet. Perhaps you'll get lucky and they'll go ahead and cut their noses off completely. Otherwise, you better get ready to max out your credit cards because Trump is going to need somebody to pay for this mess he's made.

Leslie, Trump hasn't made any mess. He hasn't been in power unlike the Clintons. The current mess was made by GHW Bush, Clinton, GW Bush and now Obama. And we're going to vote for another Clinton? Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? Your candidate is politically tone deaf, if she gets in get prepared for a very tumultuous four years. More abortion bills, gun control bills, bathroom bills, open borders, more HB-1 Visas, and most importantly more geo politics. And she'll keep ignoring our infrastructure, under employment, outsourcing our manufacturing to third world slave shops.

BTW leslie. so far Hillary has raised over 200 million. Average donation? 65k. She's the corporate candidate.

Yes, Hillary is the more corporate candidate because Trump has no money. He lied to you about having money. What else has he lied to you about?

Lewandowski has gone from Trump's campaign. It was only a matter of time after Trump brought in Manafort. Maybe Manafort can actually do something to make this a contest.

By telling Trump not to say one more word and removing Twitter from his phone?

Now I'm imagining Manafort slapping Trump in the same way as Tyrion slapping Joffrey in Game of Thrones.

Do you have Joffrey or Ramsey pegged as Trump? :)

Manafort doesn't give a fart about Donald Trump.

Of course not, but he did work with Ferdinand Marcos, so he has good experience with crazy bastards.

I'd like to know, if anybody has access to this information, out of all of the crazy ****ers that Manafort has worked with ... did he actually turn any of their situations around?

He was a success in the Ukraine but not so much with Marcos and a few others. Interesting article here though.
Safe bet that his more than shady past will become part of the attack on Trump.
Paul Manafort isn’t a GOP retread. He’s made a career of reinventing tyrants and despots.

Come on, own up which one of you was it?

A man believed to be British is expected to appear in a Nevada court later on Monday.

A 19 year old.
"Sandford had a United Kingdom driver's license with him at the time, according to the complaint. He told a special agent that he was in the U.S. for about a year and a half and lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, then drove to the San Bernardino, California area in his car before coming to Las Vegas on June 16."
Maybe he will get done for driving without a valid license too.

We should be on the look out for new members on BE trying to avoid deportation.

Probably just another time traveler trying to go back in time to stop the apocalypse.
