Report: Trump spends $1M on 2016 research

"Donald Trump has spent $1 million on "electoral research," according to a report.

Trump told a GOP county dinner in Michigan last week that "everybody" tells him to "run for president." And just like he did before the 2000 and 2012 elections, Trump is musing about running for president.

“The electoral research was commissioned. We did not spend $1 million on this research for it just to sit on my bookshelf,” Trump's executive vice president and counsel Michael Cohen told The New York Post.

“At this point Mr. Trump has not made any decision on a political run, but what I would say is that he is exactly what this country needs. The turnout at these political speeches indicates his following remains very strong and is growing."

The $1 million went to examining Trump's "standing in each state," according to the Post."

Whom we all believe, of course....

Seriously. The scam that the Trump is running would have been over years ago if it weren't for suckers like politico and the like. Why is this man even in the news? Simply because he wants to be?

Trump is the ultimate perversion of the american dream - do nothing, get everything - and have other people fawning over it. Never mind that Trump has been losing money ever since his inheritance and that there is no indication at all that he is a clever, or evern marginally uscessful businesman. Trumped up, so to speak. No substance.

Those states will vote Rethug if the party dug up Osama bin Laden and nominated him.
