1. Don't people get tired of the fake craigslist ad thing?

It would be much more interesting for someone to respond to the ad and document receiving the $100, but there's a reason why that NEVER happens with these "here's a craigslist ad paying people to show up" thing that gets re-posted over and over like Groundhog Day.

They did pay actors for the initial campaign announcement in NY, but that wasn't done through Craigslist.

Or is the idea here that we're supposed to believe everything on Twitter, just because it is anti-Trump.
