    There is no solution. What is done is done. We live with it and hope to survive. Yes, I do think Bernie would have been a better choice. But Hillary was chosen the Democratic nominee way back prior to the 2012 election in a meeting between Bill, Hillary and Obama. Heck, before the year turned 2013 she already had 30 super delegates pledged to her. From that point on the Democratic race was one just for show. Preordained. My first preference was Jim Webb, but I definitely would have voted for Bernie over Trump. I think Bernie has the good of this country in his heart even though we are 180 degrees apart on political philosophy.

    I would have taken just about any other Republican candidate and voted for him against Clinton. But regardless of political ideology or philosophy, I just can't vote for either one of these two very corrupt candidates who are on an ego trip and thrust for power. Neither has the good of the country in their heart, just dollar signs and the power to utilize the office of the presidency to make more dollars.

    Not on this thread, which is about Trump's corruption. Go start a Hillary thread.

    There is already a thread on this, but no matter, we know that those in the tank for Hilary (the most corrupt and dishonest person ever) will repeat the same tired old claims in an attempt to make Trump seem as dishonest as Hilary (an impossible task).

    You are worried about Trump's 1,000's and ignore Hilary's 100,000,000's. Even if Trump has done everything the Hilary sycophants claim, he is a piker compared the greed, dishonesty and corruption of Hilary.

    I was in a discussion about this matter on another site. While it is getting much attention in Florida, the biased right wing national media has largely disregarded it. Clearly this shows the extent of Trump's corruption and his ability to control politicians who kiss up to him. Just imagine how corrupt his regime would be if he ever landed at the White House.

    Right wingers hate it when someone bursts their endless bubbles of hate and distortions. That is why they try to distract from the issue. But, as usual, such distractions are merely an affirmation that what you have posted is the truth.

    See what I mean?



    And, of course, he conveniently ignores all the anti-Hillary hate threads on this forum.


    Thank you for validating what I wrote.

    No, just a "remarkable coincidence"....Trump donates to Bondi, gives her a fundraiser at his hotel...

    and she "oddly" decides NOT to pursue charges against Trump University.



    ((BTW, here's where the average Trump supporter tries to change the subject to Hillary. Helpful tip. :) ))

    So what? Hilary is by far the biggest crook, and a liar and traitor.

    You claim even posting FACTS that make Trump look bad are "Trump hate"....while Hi-5'ing every wacko conspiracy theory post about Clinton.

    You really think you have any credibility on "partisanship"????

    mebbe if you looked here:




    Pay to Play, Mr. Trump? By the Editorial Board of the NYT

    In light of the suspicions hanging over Donald Trump and Pam Bondi, the Florida attorney general, this opening quote from her Republican National Convention speech is particularly rich. “Nov. 8 is a day of reckoning for all those who have abused their power,” she said. “Winning this election means reclaiming something to which I’ve dedicated my entire career: the rule of law.”

    While it hasn’t been proved that Mr. Trump or Ms. Bondi violated bribery law, there’s little doubt that they abused the public trust in 2013, when Ms. Bondi received a $25,000 campaign contribution from Mr. Trump four days after her office announced that Florida was “reviewing the allegations” in a lawsuit filed in New York against his Trump University. Attorneys general in New York and California are pursuing separate class-action suits alleging that Trump University bilked consumers of tens of thousands of dollars they each paid for a worthless real-estate investment course. In the end, Ms. Bondi’s office did not take any action against Trump University.

    Mr. Trump’s contribution from his family foundation to Ms. Bondi violated federal tax law barring tax-exempt charities from engaging in political activity. The Washington Post reported last week that Mr. Trump paid a $2,500 penalty to the Internal Revenue Service for the violation.

    News of the fine came as Mr. Trump has spent days accusing Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation of similar pay-to-play schemes. Confronted on Monday, Mr. Trump said oddly that he hadn’t spoken to Ms. Bondi. The Associated Press reported in June that an adviser to Ms. Bondi confirmed that Ms. Bondi had spoken to Mr. Trump and asked for the contribution.

    Trump Held Fundraiser For Pam Bondi At Mar-a-Lago After She Dropped Investigation

    Trump Held Fundraiser For Pam Bondi At Mar-a-Lago After She Dropped Investigation

    The Republican Party of Florida paid much less for the venue than Trump’s own campaign has paid.


    09/06/2016 10:30 pm ET | Updated 5 minutes ago



    WASHINGTON ― In March 2014, Donald Trump opened his 126-room Palm Beach resort, Mar-a-Lago, for a $3,000-per-person fundraiser for Pam Bondi, the Florida attorney general who had recently decided not to investigate Trump University and was facing a tough re-election campaign.

    Trump, whose personal foundation had given $25,000 to a pro-Bondi group the previous fall, did not write a check to the attorney general that night. But by hosting her at Mar-a-Lago and bringing in some of his own high-profile Florida contacts, he provided her campaign with a nice financial boost.

    Trump has claimed that Bondi was merely a candidate he knew well and supported politically. But his fundraising efforts were extensive: In addition to the $25,000 donation, Trump and his daughter Ivanka gave $500 each to Bondi in the fall of 2013. The following year, Ivanka and her father donated a total of $125,000 to the Republican Party of Florida.


    All this monetary effort could suggest that Donald Trump was thanking Bondi for not probing his failed seminar program. His efforts to boost her politically came during and after a period when she was being publicly pressed to investigate claims that get-rich-quick seminars bearing his name were defrauding participants.

    Of course someone who loves honesty and integrity and supports the principles of the Constitution, is going to hate Hilary.

    It does not matter who is running against Hilary, she is a despicable person just on her own personal history. The real question is why do people support Hilary? Is it the "birds of a feather flock together" syndrome?

    Looks like a winning strategy!

    Polls show that more and more of the Independents are coming along!

    See? OverDrive took my advice....


    You guys are as predictable as a sunrise.
    :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Polls show Hillary beating Trump in the Electoral College. Even Rightwing Rasmussen can't create on that has Trump ahead in the EC vote.


    Of course THOSE polls....you dismiss. Right?


    BTW, thanks for admitting the truth.....I guess nobody actually "supports Trump"...they just hate Hillary. :)

    Didn't read thread. If Trump is "extremely corrupt" based on the shoddy projection attempt of this latest "false equivalence" story crafted to deflect from very real, obvious Clinton corruption, then Hillary is the corruption equivalent of Beelzebub, Sauron and Darth Vader rolled into one and personified.

    Hyperbolic? Yes, about as much as the OP claims are based on a bookkeeping error.
