The play for 2016 - Part ll

[swchandler]

I can't imagine that the 2016 election is a topic that we can't discuss and talk about, so let's open the door again. Fire away.

Trump pulls out of debate.

"Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged ... it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher," Trump said in a statement.

Having a Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump debate, particularly before the DNC and RNC conventions, certainly would be a significant paradigm shift.

Bernie seemed game enough, but Trump had an awfully tough time defining his position. He was in, then out, then in and then out. Most likely, he had to be schooled and convinced by his handlers that it wouldn't work to his favor. I'm thinking that Bernie would have taught Trump a lesson or two, because Trump most likely would have had to rely on "Wrestle Mania" type dialog and insults. That's all he's good for most of the time. Bernie had every thing to win, and nothing to lose. Although the match-up didn't occur, Bernie still won the game.

It will be interesting to watch the upcoming clashes between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. A highly charged and unpredictable dance between the most hated contenders for the presidency. Trump will need to improve his performance greatly.

Now that's a pay per view event!

No, to everyone's delight, it should be broadcast virtually free to all in the nation.

why not have the first one in Mexico since it is an international event of the year...

ok trump would not feel safe here. Lets try anyplace in central or latin america. Oh trump would not feel safe there. Ok how about Russia, oh Clinton would not feel safe there. How about Iceland, Oh they would not allow trump there. Lets try the continent of africa, nope trump would not feel safe there, lets try China, of trump would love it there he can inspect his clothing line factories.

In reality no place in the world other than possibly Australia a few soviet block countries and china would trump be safe and welcome in. even those countries could not afford the costs to keep trump safe from his own words.

Can you imagine the costs to American taxpayers for security anyplace in the world Trump one of the most laughed at and hated people there are.

Yet somehow, even with Trumps inevitable presidency, millions more illegals from those countries flood our open borders.......Because their socialist governments are failing them.

t comes to light from LawNewz that the law firm Robbins Geller appointed by Judge Gonzalo Curiel to represent a plaintiff in the Trump University class action suits has another connection to Hillary Clinton beyond a $2700 campaign contribution from firm chairman Darren Robbins. LawNewz did not mention the firm’s connection to the Trump University case. The information was apparently retrieved from a Washington Post data base with the Clinton financial filings on file. (The Post itself has not reported on this connection.)

It seems that Robbins Geller “paid the Clintons nearly half a million dollars in less than a year.” Why? Speeches of course.

That’s right. One of the law firms picked by the Judge in the Trump University case — the very Judge Donald Trump accuses by name of anti-Trump bias — awarded this firm the case after — say again after — Hillary and Bill Clinton had been paid a cool $450,000 for two speeches by the firm.

While one might have expected this connection to Trump’s presumed rival in the campaign to be called out as a potential conflict of interest, amazingly, this hasn’t happened — either in the courtroom or in the press.

And, of course, this isn’t the only connection in the case against Trump University that would raise eyebrows, at the very least, or lead one to wonder if this isn’t just a big charade — witch hunt — aimed at trashing the presumed GOP nominee.

As The American Spectator reports, several other key players in the lawsuit have some interesting ties to Democrats.

The judge Gonzalo Curiel himself, whose Hispanic heritage Trump has called out, is an Obama appointee and has been honored by “his leadership and support” to the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, whose purpose is to advance the cause of equality, empowerment and justice for, not all attorneys of any race, but specifically Latino attorneys and the Latino community in San Diego County.

We’ll let you draw your own conclusions there about the judge’s involvement with the organization who uses “La Raza” — “The Race” in its title. (Still don’t understand how it’s OK for Latinos to do it but would be a career-ending controversy for a Caucasian to be involved in such an organization.)

Meanwhile, the senior partner in the other law firm Judge Curiel selected to represent the case against Trump — Zeldes Haeggquist & Eck LLP — was a multiple-time contributor to Barack Obama and also a one-time donor in 2004 to MoveOn.org. Of course, MoveOn has this to say about Donald Trump:

For as long as Donald Trump is a presidential candidate, MoveOn members will continue to call out and nonviolently protest his racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, and violent behavior… Trump and those who peddle hate and incite violence have no place in our politics and most certainly do not belong in the White House.
And then there’s New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who filed a $40 million law suit against Trump University in 2013 charging fraud — but only after repeated campaign solicitations to Trump family members and business associates. As American Spectator writes — and detailed here three years ago — Attorney General Schneiderman’s solicitations were along the lines of “the Mafia Don who stops by to say “ya gotta nice little business going here, ya wouldn’t want anything to happen to it.”

Oh, and by the way, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

The Spectator sums it all up well:

What we have here is the case against Trump University being so riven with political conflicts of interest that it is clear Trump is not a defendant but the subject of a political witch hunt. A witch hunt fueled by everything from identity politics to campaign contributions.

To borrow a much used phrase from this election cycle? The case against Trump University appears to have been rigged right from the get-go.

Shocker.

Well, since the media won’t be getting word of this out, it’s up to us — and y’all!
