It's not really a surprise, but Trump is a grifter who is currently nickel-and-diming the Republicans to enrich himself.

The big question is how much ransom does he want to release the GOP who is currently holding hostage.

Thinking about the VP pick, I just had a thought.

Trump's remaining demographic is white men. Hillary doesn't need to pick hispanic or latino or black, she already has a lot of support there. A double woman ticket would be very risky. Put in a solid boring white man at VP and I bet a lot of average Joes would think "Well now there's a good man looking after things".

Some sort of Biden clone.

I don't agree with this tbh. If someone isn't going to vote for Clinton because she is a woman, I don't see how putting a man as VP will help.

I had mentioned previously how he was raking in money for his businesses via the campaign. Happy you posted that link to prove it. I have little doubt that was his plan to begin with and he had no expectation of winning..just making money. I find it disturbing that feeding his businesses with campaign money is actually legal.

Are you saying that politics is all about money? I'll consider myself enlightened. Because Hillary isn't ashamed of a few bucks? And then look at Tony Blair ...

Are you expecting me to disagree? Trump is just more blatant about it.
