report: Trump refused to be vetted

[mnmoderatedem]

Trump apparently insisted on not being internally vetted at the start of his campaign.

And he did not think this would come back to bite him in the butt?

Good gravy how stupid IS this guy?

1. Trump's likely reply

Trump: "I don't need to be vetted. I've never even owned a pet."

[malaise]

4. LOL

Groper Don the Con knew he could not pass a smell test, let alone a vetting.

[mythology]

6. Well that thing thing on his head used to be a pet

[Wounded Bear]

8. Not a pet...

a service animal.

[Avalux]

2. Better yet - how stupid is the GOP for agreeing to it?

That's why they didn't have any dirt on him during the primary. Dumbasses. They own the atrocity that is Donald.

5. The GOP would promote Hitler if running! With the GOP it's power and control at any cost

to the nation.

3. It's the height of privilege and entitlement

He's gotten away with so much stuff, why would this be any different.

Additionally, I think that goes to show he never thought he'd get this far, never wanted to get this far, just wanted to put himself back in the public eye to help his profit margin.

Now he wants to be president because he can't be a "loser", his ultimate insult to anyone who isn't nice to him.

7. He is a dumbass but I bet he and the GOP thought that Hillary was going to be indicted

So the GOP probably thought he didn't need to be vetted because they thought it was going to be an easy victory for them.

9. Crooks don't like sunlight, yet it still found a way into the filth that is Trump Tower.

I hope this run is what brings him down, Nov 28th seems to be on his mind a lot...gee wonder why?

[Quantess]

10. Wow.

It all plays right into Hillary Clinton's hands.

[True Dough]

11. His sordid past was bound to catch up with him eventually

Imagine if he made it into the White House and then the video came out. And then allegations of sexual assault came out. And then his taxes, and whatever nasty surprises they might reveal, finally became public.

How did he think he could avoid that forever? Maybe he figured if he had the power of the highest office he could silence his detractors, Putin-style.

12. That's amazing.

Everyone does opp research on their own candidate now.



You want to know what the other side is going to hit you with.

[killbotfactory]

13. He thinks if acts confidant enough he can BS his way out of anything

so far it's still working with republicans.

[Mendocino]

14. Little or no vetting worked so well

for McCain/Palin.

[rug]

15. He has been in the cocoon of his father's organization since birth.

He genuinely does not think he has to answer to anyone as long as that organization exists.

[Gothmog]

16. Trump is an idiot

[Runningdawg]

17. This sounds right

No vetting for Trump, extreme vetting for everyone else.

[erpowers]

18. Vet Him Anyway

It seems some in his staff are making excuses. They could have vetted him without him knowing. All they had to do was google him. A series of videos and interviews would have surfaced. In addition, they could have dug up every recording of every one of his appearances on The Howard Stern Show. There were so many things the could have done without him knowing about their actions.

19. SO stupid, and the GOPers who went along are just as stupid

good riddance to those motherfuckers

[Stinky The Clown]

20. He would have been found to be what he is: A pedestal with road kill on top.
