| It's a bit of a long read, but the main take-away is that for this turkey to be a presidential candidate is so ridiculous - it's like Al Capone running for mayor of Chicago. Hillary has a long list of "scandals" that are mostly bullshit and lies pumped up by the Republicans. Trump has a long list of scandals that are documented in court papers, and are not bullshit at all. The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet |

| I guess this term has been in general usage for a while now, but I heard it for the first time on the radio today and found it hilariously apt: Trumpocalypse. What will happen if Don wins.
The commentators were discussing if a victorious Don would move toward the center, and govern as a more-centrist Republican or whether he would feel compelled or mandated to carry out his ever-changing daily rhetoric. Would we see Eisenhower or Hitler?
There were proponents of both views. The truth is we cannot know with Don.
That's why he is so scary. With no public service experience he's likely to do ANYTHING. A recent Newsweek cover story detailed his international business ties, and how inherent conflicts of interest permeate his candidacy. He does not understand the concept of a blind trust, and would not tolerate divesting himself of his business interests.
Therefore it seems entirely likely, to me, that the US government would become a government of the Trump, by the Trump and for the Trump, with the entire Treasury re-arranged to funnel money into his pocket. |

I have seen nothing to make me believe it would be anything other than what you described. |

| The last couple of days, ever since the debate when he threatened to seat Gennifer Flowers in the front row, Trump has been hammering Hillary for her husband's sexual peccadilloes. The Starr investigation spent millions and millions of public money investigating the Clintons and ended up with bupkis, except a wandering pee-pee and a little white lie about it to Congress. It was enough for the Republican congress to impeach him.
It was not enough however to destroy or seemingly even harm his reputation. He remains one of the most popular ex-presidents alive. The Neo-Cons are backing a dog that don't hunt.
And it's particularly galling that Trump is going down this path. He lives in a glass house. He's been married three times, and each time took up with his next wife before divorcing the last one. However Hillary has vowed to take the high road in this election, so he knows she won't fight back with tit-for-tat. Serial philandery indeed. |

| No one cares about Marla Maples. But there is a rumor that she was the source of the mysterious tax forms.

| Marla Maples signed an NDA in exchange for an unspecified wad of cash, but that doesn't mean somebody else couldn't write her story -- illicit affair while Donald was still married, illegitimate daughter, messy divorce, allegation out the kazoo. She at one point said if Donald ever ran for public office she'd show the world what kind of asshole he is. |

| Do you really think that either of the Clintons would want to bring up Marla Maples? Really?

| Trump brought up Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky.
Glass houses. |
