You mean his three wives have done a decent job of raising their kids.

Hard to determine how wonderful they are as none have done anything other than work in the family business.

The two men seem a little odd. It might be the slicked back hair, but I am always reminded of the line about a Kinko somewhere missing their assistant manager.

However, I was touched by the story Marla's daughter told at the RNC about how her Dad called her when her friend died.

Trump is a gold mine for the media.

But for the life of me, I don't know why they aren't calling him on at least some of this nonsense and name calling.

My heroine today is the Michigan minister who told him to to zip it.

I think news media is afraid of him, he's been sending warning shots. Remember he threatened journalists and news media that spoke unfavorably against him, and was advocating restricting the freedom of the press to " 'open up our libel laws’ to punish publication of ‘purposely negative stories’ "

He is setting the stage for stifling the press, which is essential for any successful dictatorship.

Such BS. CNN for one, bends over backwards to give Trump equal time, defense and representation. And just because FOX News is funded by conservatives, doesn't mean it isn't mainstream, it's just completely partisan mainstream coverage.

Now if a conservative says talk radio (!!) is trying to get Trump out, he loses in a landslide.

Dead on. In any other age, responsible journalists would be ignoring most of Trumps ridiculous statements, or at least challenging them. Not in this politically correct election.

I suppose this explains the necessity of the fundraisers. Bribes aren't cheap!

Leave the mainstream, Hillary owns them.

Sort of surprised to read someone from the RW bring up bribes.

You do know that Trump just got caught bribing the Florida AG to drop the investigation into Trump U. It was in all the papers.
