Trump's reaction to being called a puppet was amazing. Hit a huge nerve.

According to Nav, The Trump Organization, Inc.’s business credit score is a 19 out of 100 as of Sept. 23, 2016, which puts it below the national average score by more than 30 points. The Nav report said the score indicates the Trump Organization “is very likely to default on its credit payments” and that “this will make it difficult to get financing.” It puts Trump’s Organization in a “medium-to-high risk” category.

According to Nav, the Clinton Foundation’s business credit score is a 42 out of 100 as of Sept. 23, 2016, which puts it below the national average score by about seven points. The Nav report said the score indicates the Foundation is “somewhat likely to default on its credit payments” and that “this could make it difficult to get financing and the terms may be unfavorable.” It puts the Clinton Foundation into a “medium-risk” category.

1 of the guys got fired, and 1 of the guys stepped down.

They are totally innocent and James Keefe Tape has no merit. I am pretty sure Putin is behind this all.

Jame O'Keefe has been caught before editing and splicing footage together alter context so take it with a big grain of salt.

Wow, apparently bigly is actually a word! I'm basically astonished. Although the more shocking thing is that I don't think that I've ever seen a candidate at a debate where I just plain disagree with every single thing they say.

The deal is nobody in the media really wants to touch it because of O'Keefe's past editing videos. Within that history, there's been another incident where someone was fired and later exonerated after taking O'Keefe to court and having the full tapes revealed. So some caution is definitely necessary, and nobody should take firing / stepping down as an admission of guilt. O'Keefe has resisted calls to release the full, unedited versions of the footage, which should settle all doubts. And with the decision to release them so close to the election, he's made it very difficult for anyone else to properly investigate and verify his claims. Unlike Alpine Fisher's strawman, I think it's likely that at least some of the accusations are true, but knowing which are true and which aren't is impossible right now, and very much by design, the truth won't come out until after the election.

Personally, I think it's a small number of accurate charges with a large amount of conveniently-edited footage to make it seem like there's a much larger conspiracy than just a couple idiots. But I'll be happy to revise that opinion when the full footage is released.

First, they aren't winning Maryland, they're current polling behind in Anne Arundle country which hasn't gone Dem since 1968. Second....sleeper cell is the word they choose to use? I guess the lack of self awareness goes beyond just the orange goblin himself.

I've recently seen it said that he's actually saying 'big-league.' Which kinda makes sense: "we're going to win big-league."

Editing and splicing aside, he also has been known to use forged identification and documents to gain access for "journalistic" purposes. A DNC staffer could totally embellish or brag about things they have no business taking credit for if they think their audience wants to hear it.

With such a dishonest reputation, the default position should be that he is a fake until it is proven otherwise.

Think Progress is saying that this is money that was given too O'Keefe by Trump's charitable foundation. The one that's been operating illegally in NY.

Obama is hitting it out of the park. Going after all of the GOP, talking about Trump's bromance with Putin. Classic. We have not heard the last from the Obama family. They are the resident superstars in the Democrat stable.

Well that depends on how you want to judge "worst". If it's by results then he's not likely to edge out McGovern or Goldwater (Probably won't even edge out Dukakis). But if we're talking about the guts of a campaign then between his zero debate prep, total outsourcing of a ground game, understaffing, bizarre messaging, lackluster fundraising... probably.
