Ok, so you get that I'm going to be writing a lot about Trump's money problems for a while, right? Good.
First lets start with the money quote:"There’s no reason to raise that," Trump said about raising $1 billion. "I just don’t think I need nearly as much money as other people need because I get so much publicity. I get so many invitations to be on television. I get so many interviews, if I want them."If you are Pat Toomey or Ron Johnson, your heart just sank. If you are a Republican in a close district, pick your jaw up off the floor. Your party leader just said he won't be spending heavily in your state this Fall because he won't be advertising. Or building organizational infrastructure. Or doing data. Or targeting. Or even building a volunteer apparatus. Instead, he's going to phone it in to Fox and Friends.
Facing you is a rapid scaling up of the Clinton Campaign ground organization across a dozen states. And a popular incumbent President with the power of the office at his disposal. And a demographic problem that your own candidate has successfully made worse. We aren't even talking about the guns your opponent will be firing at you. If you're Mark Kirk, you just wet your pants. If you're Rob Portman, you're scared shitless by remarks like these.
If Trump won't raise or fork over the cash, that means Prince Reebus is on hook. He hasn't got nearly enough resources to compete with a fully built-out presidential campaign. Being on cable news all the time is sufficient for a primary. A general election audience requires you to be on a helluva lot more channels, especially online. Because most viewers barely watch cable news. Hell, many folks today don't even have cable anymore.On Tuesday night, as Trump was officially locking up the Republican nomination, the Wall Street Journal reported that he was already behind the ball when it came to fundraising. While Hillary Clinton is just gearing up for general election fundraising, she has a long-standing fundraising team in place, and a big set of donors and fundraisers to hit up for contributions. Trump doesn't.McConnell and Ryan will do what they can to shore up their majority, but make no mistake about it: Trump has just put the GOP Establishment on defense. The Senate is definitely tilting Dem enough already. The House may very well be next.
The dagger in that article was this paragraph, quoting well-known Republican fundraiser Fred Malek:[Malek] called Mr. Trump’s fundraising disadvantage “huge and not widely understood.” He added: “Unless he’s willing to write a huge personal check, which is unlikely, I believe Trump will have a financial disparity of $300 million to $500 million.”

perhaps America should pay attention to the voters. i know thats a crazy thought but better than the SD scam or letting past presidents decide. Hmmm 3 are dems and the other 2 are related to a failed candidate that Trump destroyed. and non of them support Trump. Thats shocking.Comment -
i would mace every one of these assholesComment -
most of the illegals in ohio are ecudorians. at least in cincinnati. the only problem trump will have would be the convention in cleveland because there is a shitload of mexicans up north. there are a few in hamilton but sheriff jones-(who I did some work for ) is a mean son of gun . he was deporting aliens before it was cool to deport them. he once told me that if i didn't shut my piehole he would deport me.lolComment -

Now, it turns out Curiel was actually appointed by a Republican governor to the Superior Court before being promoted by President Obama to the U.S. District Court in Southern California.
Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Twitter yesterday to stand before his appointee, who he called a hero:

Judge Curiel is an American hero who stood up to the Mexican cartels. I was proud to appoint him when I was Gov.http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/06/04/us/politics/donald-trump-university-judge-gonzalo-curiel.html …

That Judge Attacked by Donald Trump? He’s Faced a Lot Worse
Gonzalo P. Curiel, once a prosecutor and now the judge in the Trump University case, lived under federal protection for a year after an inmate tied to a Mexican cartel was recorded threatening him.

</twitterwidget>Ironically, Schwarzenegger has just accepted a new appointment himself. He will take over Trump’s vacated seat on the next season of Celebrity ApprenticeComment -
^ none of that refutes what trump said in any way whatsoeverComment -
well since i have been carrying 1984(even arrested and judge throwing the case out) that would also be handy. he has a get together in san antonio on june 16. cops down here don't play. as i previously stated ex police chief of cinti went to school with all my buddies and would meet us at price hill chili once a month. personally know county sheriff and police chief in hamilton. but down here they would rather beat the shit out of you. so should be interesting.Comment -

WHAT are you gonna do when the rnc steals his nomnation? if he runs he guarantees a democratic landslide. why do you think they are jumping off the sinking ship to get away from trump.Comment -
If Trump wasn't a walking talking orange sphincter, I might be on board. When he gets interviewed one on one,
in a calm setting, I like some of his stuff. When he gets in front of a crowd, it's like he has to put on a wrestling
match circus.
As far as the Mexican judge hearing his case, I believe Trump is right to bitch. You can have the fairest judge
ever, but you have to know, deep down, that judge will show bias.
Both Hillary and Trump need to calm the fuk down. Run on their visions for the future of America and let us
decide.Comment -
Even when Rubio said that, he also said “ every person on this stage tonight is far more qualified to be president than Hillary Clinton”. So even though Trump wasn’t Rubios choice then, he is Rubios choice now.
And after all doesn’t everyone say some harsh things about their rivals. Rubio called Cruz the biggest Liar ever. He got into debate arguments with Christie and Bush. Its just part of the campaign.
