Imagine Trump with his hands on the IRS. Criticizing Trump = audit.

You're joking right? That's what Obama does.

Have you ever looked at how much Trump has donated to PACs, and who those PACs supported?

The defense of Trump is “that’s just what big businesses have to do”. She is a big business, too.

Laura is mentioned in the article. The Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame?

Laura M. Ricketts is co-owner of the Chicago Cubs. Ricketts is also a board member of Lambda Legal[1] and the Housing Opportunities for Women organization.[2] Ricketts' ownership stake in the Cubs is uniquely noteworthy because it makes her the first openly gay owner of a major-league sports franchise.[3]

In 2013 Laura Ricketts was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame.[7]

He isn’t using PAC. Is your candidate? Who will control your guy?

Exactly, if anything Trump is more thin skinned and just as vindictive as Obama, both of course are malignant narcissist.

Hannity has Newt on, and Newt says Trump is a risk worth taking.

Well the Cubs haven’t had to spend any money on WS parades since 1908, so that saved them a little bit of cash.

That is the 2016 MLB payrolls for all of the teams. Cubs have risen to the sixth highest.

Cable TV revenues give a lot of teams BIG money to spend.

Trump is elite. So then according to your stereo type, Trump wants to keep the cheap labor express running.

Or do you make an exception for Trump?

Sheesh, Trump is a safe bet when compared to the risk the country took electing Obama.

Please read what I said.

Trump has donated to many PACs over the years. Now he whines and threatens when someone donates to a PAC opposing him.

I would say the he knows where the bones are buried. ____________________________________ Which makes him no better than the current regime, or whoever has it over on John Roberts. A two-bit blackmailer, huh? what a guy Trump is.

Well, that is the way the game of politics is played. It is not for the faint of heart or the self-righteous. So, after 24 years of Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama you should be used to political skullduggery and know how the game is played.

You are not that stupid just argumentative because Cruz is not doing well. All elite are not for the cheap labor express anymore than all evangelicals are for Cruz. How about no more ridiculous comments on this?

Oh stop being so defensive as to miss the point. Certainly you aren't that stupid.

You're the one who assumes that Ricketts, "the elite to which you spoke", wants to "control the cheap labor express", just because she contributes to a PAC.
