Trump to Press: Why don't they look into the Clinton foundation, you want to see dishonesty.

Last edited Tue May 24, 2016, 05:58 PM - Edit history (1)

He must have gotten this from Bernie. I mean where else could he have came up with the idea?
As the stupid twit on Morning Joe said, Trump will run out of material once Bernie is out of the race.

I am sure this will have young voters who still strongly believe in concepts like fairness and integrity running to the polls for Clinton.

One of the most idiotic false equivalencies I've ever seen here.

But apparently that's quite fashionable for a handful of posters the last few days.

He will use his power to take any social payments away or lessen them. Food stamps? Cut them. Medicade? Cut it. Increase in minimum wage? Up yours.

The youth vote will turn out for Clinton. It won't be huge numbers but they will turn out. They are more sold on Trump being the monster in the race than you are.

You directly linked finding Trumps name on there with the youth vote. Look at the op. Linking it to the youth vote is a main theme. I'm telling you they are deeper than what you and the op give them credit for.

Directly on point.

But thanks for smearing, erm, playing.

And I bet as a result of my occupation I know a lot more youth than you, and it took no prompting from me to discover they all despise Trump and feel little for Clinton, and that the only voters among them were for Sanders. I give them a lot of credit for depth, of course.

The Clinton Foundation is a public charity. Implying nefarious activities is just par-for-the-course for Conservatives and Haters. Sanders didn't need to be involved.

and who ever is the Dem Nom WILL go after them.

But there are several articles regarding the Foundation that need further investigation. Defend it here all you want. THe rReich WILL be drilling into this, and a few other little nuggets she has lying around

I don't even particularly like Clinton. But since the CF is a public charity, there needs to be more than vague mutterings of improprieties to make a case. Let the chips fall where they may but someone needs to file a suit or initiate an investigation, otherwise it's all just hot air.
