While most of the media mentally masturbates over who Donald Trump will pick as his running mate, there are other things going on in his campaign that only a handful of journalists are talking about.
An item started gaining some traction yesterday that I find both amusing and a bit disturbing. Frankly, I don't know what to make of it yet, but it's nefarious on its face with a sprinkle of incest to boot, and I'm getting a sense that it's important.
Jared Kushner, The Donald's son-in-law, has been instrumental in the campaign. He's been calling the shots on Trump's more sane moves and is largely credited with writing the scripted speeches that have done so much to legitimize his candidacy.
Kushner is from a wealthy New Jersey family, the patriarch of which is Charles. Like Trump, Charles Kushner made billions in commercial real estate.
But unlike The Donald, Kushner is a well-known liberal Democrat who's given millions to the party. Furthermore, he was fined and served time in federal prison for fraud regarding his contributions,
Kushner was convicted of flouting personal contribution limits by donating under his employees' names. That's not legal.
The kicker of this story is that the prosecutor who rabidly went after Charles Kushner for his unlawful gifts to the Democratic party was none other than...Chris Christie.
Chris Christie sent Jared Kushner's dad to prison! How crazy is that?

| I'm proud I sent Charles Kushner to jail. When I'm Vice President, I'm going to make it illegal to give any money to the Democrat party. What? Jared wants me in his office? Uh oh. |
He and his wife Ivanka are alleged to be two of The Donald's closest advisers, and he generally follows their suggestions.
If I were in a position to avenge the politically-motivated jailing of my father, I'd sure take it. Christie should watch his back...just sayin'.
The other thing that's not lost here is how close the Kushner family has been and still is with the Democratic party.
As a matter of fact, Donald Trump's political history, prior to becoming Birther in Chief, was pretty close to Kushner's.
I'd even venture that so were Trump and Kushner...close, that is. They were so close, they married their families together.
What happened since? My guess is that Donald Trump, who's been planning a run for president since the 1990's, saw a path to the White House not through his own party but by hijacking the opposing one.
He observed a rising dissatisfaction within the GOP and spent years perfecting a marketing plan to cultivate that growing bloc. We've seen the results.
Listen to what Trump says when he's having a rare lucid moment, and you hear a lot of mainstream Democratic thoughts.
My advice to the Republican party: If Trump actually does get elected, you too should watch your back...just sayin'.
