I think we just witnessed another trap for Trump and seemingly he has taken the bait. [View all]

The Iran payment. He is running with it. I look for it to come up in the debates. Today's announcement...optics aside...just convinces me more that Obama is the smartest President to come along in my lifetime.

It was supposed to be "coincidence" that hostages were released the same day that we released 400 million of their own money to Iran. Yeah...

But what a move by Obama either way. It's a pretty good damn deal when you can pay hostage-holders with their own money and get your hostages released. Plus save billions of our own money.
