Can we stop eating our own for 10 minutes and get back to Trump...

I know batting at the Clinton balloon is a fun thing to do.. but this will be constant.. every time we pop the balloon the right will be blowing up a new one to try and distract ..and contrary to what some put out there that this is a Clinton thing.. trust me.. it is a what we have to battle as Democrats.. as an Obama supporter.. we have been batting down these balloons for eight years.. and we will be batting them down during the next 8 years of the Clinton administration..

Now I have to go to the grocery store..My family is calling out for lunch to be fixed

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/30/us/politics/donald-trump-institute-plagiarism.html?_r=0

"The institute was another example of the Trump brand’s being accused of luring vulnerable customers with false promises of profit and success. Others, besides Trump University, include multilevel marketing ventures that sold vitamins and telecommunications services, and a vanity publisher that faced hundreds of consumer complaints.

Mr. Trump’s infomercial performance suggested he was closely overseeing the Trump Institute. “People are loving it,” he said in the program, titled “The Donald Trump Way to Wealth” and staged like a talk show in front of a wildly enthusiastic audience. “People are really doing well with it, and they’re loving it.” His name, picture and aphorisms like “I am the American Dream, supersized version” were all over the course materials.

Yet while he owned 93 percent of Trump University, the Trump Institute was owned and operated by Irene and Mike Milin, a couple who had been marketing get-rich-quick courses since the 1980s."

While we are at it..where the hell are his taxes and and contributions he has claimed he has given out.. including his money as a reality star..

Really, there's not much to be said about Trump. He's still loud, ignorant, bigoted, corrupt and unqualified for office.

Eating our own may not ultimately be productive, but it's filling.

I'm trying. I'm just not there, yet. Every insult on Bernie or his supporters sets me back a little.

Calling him arrogant really ticks me off. It feels so unfair that I personally feel mistreated over it. Then I feel like cutting off my nose to spite my face by leaving the board or not voting. Then I get ahold of myself try to convince myself we are on the same side. It's hard.

for years, he was The Donald and Bill Clinton golfed with him and praised him but Trump was already an known racist bigot and many many persons were already strongly opposed to him. It is not really fair for those of you who recently started to object to Trump lecture others who have been at it for 30 years. It's nice that you all woke the hell up at long last but don't attempt to look like you are leading this shindig or calling any tunes.

You don't even KNOW most of us!. I'm surprised you can even wield that brush, it's so broad! I've thought the man was a joke since he was married to Ivana, and so have most of the people I know. If you are accusing most DUers of adoring him, please provide some evidence or retract your statement.

These unanswered, but critical questions should lead every news hour. Get the MSM to do their job.
