    And he was lying from the start.

    Trump "loaned" his campaign money for the primaries...not quite the same thing "self-financing" it...and took donations in the form of all those lovely red "Make America Great Again" caps, t-shirts, bumper stickers, lawn signs, etc. He even billed the campaign for expenses--gas and maintenance for his plane, for example--that he would have normally had to absorb.

    And the rubes ate it up, all the while shouting, "No one owns him! He's in nobody's pocket!" :roflol:

    Now, not only did Orange Crush give Ryan the secret handshake, they own him lock, stock and barrel.

    As another great con man...Don King...used to say: "ONLY IN AMERICA!"

    :flagus: :salute: :flagus:

    Trump is the one who claimed he wasn't like "other" politicians. Now, along with asking for big donations and flip-flopping he's proving he's no different.

    LOL @ your moral equivalency!

    "She not in anybody's pocket" -- Said no one about Hillary.

    I have no disagreement with you. I think they are both immoral. I have no idea why you'd think otherwise.

    Translation: Take that money, Donald! Show 'em how to bullsh!t the rubes!

    Yeah that works.

    Unfortunately, the good people of the United States don't want a lying, thin-skinned, narcissist con man with zero impulse control for president.

    It must have been when you implied that Trump's lies about about self-financing his campaign were somehow less offensive than Hillary's ridiculous speaking fees.

    Clinton never made the assertion that she was self financing her campaign. I think we all agree that money in politics is a destructive thing, but I digress. Care to comment on the donald pulling a fast one on you?

    Cheated? How so? He's on top via his own financing, isn't he? How about Clinton? Has she used her own $$$$$?????? How about the big Bern?????

    What a joke of a topic. You come out swinging at Trump & his supporters over this issue, yet here you are supporting the two top tier Dem candidates.....one being investigated by the FBI, who's a proven liar and has more negative baggage than she can possible carry on her own, and the other who's a devout socialist who's attached himself to more party affiliations than I care to post. Maybe you folks should look in mirror.....and just hope it doesn't explode before you see what you've become.

    Are you aware that there also seems to be a lot of Obama derangement and Clinton derangement syndrome has been present for decades. No shortage of deranged fan boys on either side of the aisle.

    :lol: @ "devout socialist." You wouldn't even know a Marxist if he beat you up with a well-worn copy of Das Kapital.

    You must enjoy being lied to and played for a sucker.

    Do not confuse yourself, my friend - the old bat is not yet president, and there's an excellent chance she never will be :)

    Meanwhile, Hillary is slugging it out all the way to the convention with an old Marxist, while Trump's already in the general planning her destruction :smoking:
