Go home Boris, you aren't helping!

CNN (Again) making Boris Epshteyn twist himself into a pretzel. Can't answer about the lack of certification for the Trump foundation.

Now deflecting on Machado!

The hosts look like they want to throttle him.

2. Deflecting and diverting is about all the Trump surrogates can do...

There is no there there. No substance, just a lot of empty adjectives about how great things will be.

They manhandled him and wouldn't let him steer the conversation wherever he wanted. They called out his lies and spin. There is hope for our future.

His facial expression at the end looked like he had just swallowed a turd. And his job is to not look like that.

5. All these flop-sweating stooges knowingly lying for that halfwit Trump

try to keep one image in the front of their minds while they're spewing horseshit & suppressing puke: their next paycheck with lots of zeroes & Trump's signature.

6. I had to mute him. He sounds like a Mob goon.

Ok, you know this Foundation issue is a damning subject in so many ways.
They have hacked Newsweek's website that showed the article, used Machado to deflect, & are now bringing out the big guns by sending out Boris , to explain the real story although Boris says he can't answer for the Foundation since he's not an accountant nor an attorney,

But what he CAN talk about is more of Machado.

You can bet Trump's campaign does NOT want the Foundation fraud issue to be a news item.

Am hoping they hurry up with the indictments. Oct surprise for Team Donald. pleeease.

12. He always sounds like that. Like he keeps a rod in his jacket for busting kneecaps.

But he's just as hollow and dull as the rest of them.

The difference with Boris though, is I'm sure he is the one who knows exactly how deep Trump is in it with Vladdie. That's his real function, I think. Keep the channels open and skids greased.

9. How much can they possibly get paid for being a surrogate?

Their careers/reputations will be ruined from this. Wonder if they are getting real paychecks or will get stiffed when he doesn't win and "Well, they didn't do a good job so won't pay them" or force them to sue him like so many others and they can't afford to so will settle for a smaller amount...

By biggest hope is that no one will want to do business with him after this... Let him get sued by foundation contributors, lose the Trump U case, have Miss Universe sue him and Melania divorce him... There must be lots more to add to the list.

I want him on a NY corner with a tin cup...

10. Epshteyn is such a repulsively toadying creature. I wonder how anyone can tolerate him.

And who has ever seen Epstein spelled like that? (As a 71 year old Jewish woman, I've never come across that. )
