Presidential Race Narrows as Donald Trump Closes in on Hillary
Breitbart News-6 hours ago

edit for clarification: So far, all three respondent's have missed the point. The story is, of course, complete nonsense. For Breitbart News to pretend to be a "news" source is preposterously absurd at this point!

Eric Trump: It would be 'foolish' for my dad to release tax returns

source: The Hill

" Eric Trump on Wednesday dismissed arguments that his father, Donald Trump, should release his tax returns, saying doing so would be "foolish."

"You would have a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about," Eric Trump said Wednesday on CNBC.

"It would be foolish to do. I'm actually the biggest proponent of not doing it."

Eric Trump will decide what people need to know in determining who to vote for. Could this possibly be more insane?

Sorry for your loss, but no one else is responsible.

Lawsuit filed by family of Arizona shooting instructor accidentally killed by girl with Uzi

" His death at the hands of a 9-year-old girl holding a Uzi set off a powerful discussion about young children and guns.

In the video, firearms instructor Charles Vacca of Lake Havasu City is standing next to the girl as her parents stand by recording what would be the final moments of his life.

The girl braces the Uzi submachine gun and opens fire at a black-silhouette target off in the distance. The recoil wrenches the full automatic weapon upward and to the left, and Vacca is shot in the head.

Trump Ally Roger Stone Says GOP Nominee Should Release Tax Returns ‘Immediately’

source: The Huffington Post

" Roger Stone, a longtime Republican political operative and current ally of Donald Trump, on Monday said the GOP nominee should release his tax returns right away.

“Yes, I think he should release his tax returns immediately,” Stone said in a radio interview with the “Fernand Amandi Show,” according to BuzzFeed News, when asked if Trump was making a mistake by not doing so.

Trump and his campaign have offered myriad excuses for not making the records available to the public ― a tradition followed by major party nominees for decades.

New bio 'Trump Revealed' offers troubling portrait

source: USA Today

" For Donald Trump, real estate magnate, casino mogul and reality TV star, it's clear there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Even so, it's hard to imagine he will embrace Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power (Scribner, 347 pp., ***½ out of four stars), The Washington Post's dive into the Republican presidential nominee's life and business record.

Any voter who is not already devoted to Trump's cause will find plenty of reason to think long and hard about whether to support him after reading this book. It's crammed with court records, financial data, anecdotes and interviews about Trump's unscrupulous business practices, his liberal use of "truthful hyperbole" and false promises to make himself rich, usually at the expense of others.

Donald Trump: America's one-night stand

source: CNN

" (CNN) On Thursday night, Donald Trump did the unthinkable. Sometimes, he admitted, I say "the wrong thing." But Trump wants you to know he "regrets it ... particularly where it may have caused too much personal pain." At the end of the day, though, his apology doesn't matter. Not just because Donald Trump hasn't given us any reason to believe he means it, but because he's not the one who has to seek forgiveness. We the people do.

For an apology to be accepted, it's got to be clear what you're apologizing for. Trump never clarified. For an apology to be meaningful, we've got to know that the mistake you made doesn't disqualify you from the position you seek. But no adult should have to apologize for the kinds of things Donald Trump has said while seeking high office, because no adult should say those things.

Throwing racist shade at a sitting judge? Lying about Muslims in Jersey City celebrating the September 11 terrorist attacks? Mocking a disabled reporter?
