Trump--Out of Touch Old Man

Really, Friends, TGIF,

Thank goodness we're just 11 days away from the presidential election. I don't think the American public can stand too much more of it.

We've been finding out this morning about how the Clinton Foundation operated, thanks to our 'good friends' the Russians' hack into Clinton campaign director John Podesta's emails.

We now know that Bill Clinton hired lobbyist Doug Band to create a scheme to solicit large donations from foreign  governments and big business for the Foundation's charitable works, while both Band and Bill each received a little 'taste' (amounting to millions) for themselves.

None of it was illegal. It was all just sleazy.

I may have a sheepish grin, but it belies my calculating
mind. Don't worry. I won't ever be running for President
 again. Just hope I don't taint Hillary.

As I said earlier in the week, the Clintons have been in the same business as Donald Trump for the past 15 years...selling their name.

And Band helped Bill Clinton amass a fortune of more than a quarter of a billion dollars.

Interestingly, Hillary doesn't seem to have been part of the scheme. And there's no evidence that any of the Foundation's clients paid and got access to Hillary while she was Secretary of State.

It is true that Bill Clinton would return to the White House in a Hillary administration.

But his fundraising for the Foundation would stop, and, with that, at least the appearance of influence peddling.

As always, in the leaked emails Bill has emerged as the true scoundrel of the political couple.

While Hillary was organizing her next run for President, Bill was amassing the personal fortune that would legitimize the working class Clintons and allow them to play on the same field as the world's heaviest of heavyweights..

At least one reputable analyst said he didn't think the Clintons really even cared about the money they've accumulated. It was just a means to their political ends.

Meanwhile, in his campaign rallies Donald Trump is now openly calling African American urban communities "ghettos," a pejorative term that went out with his youth and is patently false.

And though the term isn't playing very well with the people he claims to want to "help," his nearly solid-white base seems to be eating it up.

The new strategy is not helping him attract the additional undecided voters he'll need to win the election.

And though it may be too much to hope for, maybe this out-of-touch nasty old man will finally dry up and blow away on November 9th.

The solid trouncing he deserves would, at least, knock him off his game.
