To recap the last 48 hours for Trump:

•Shady business with Iran
•Blamed vets for suicides
•This

Political theatrics.

Where's the AG with respect to the CLINTON CRIME FOUNDATION and their scams and schemes?

Awaiting renowned partisan Eric Schneiderman's investigation of the Clinton Foundation:

*crickets*

Believe me, I'm as much of a Trump critic as anyone, but Schneiderman's an attention-seeking hack.

   This being just the 3rd of October, It's a safe bet that by the 8th we'll find out he drowned his twin brother.

    Who would have guessed the Clinton's could be such Dirty Campaigners, surely this thought was lost on the Trumpsters.

The point is.....  BOTH candidates are breaking the law with their "foundations".  And both candidates are unethical POSs.

It makes me sick to hear Rush promoting such unethical behavior as Trump's ""business dealings"" on his show today.  About to turn Rush off forever.  Had enough.  Too few people are willing or able to stand by their principles, values and standards these days.  Makes one wonder if they ever had any of those traits in the first damned place.

The new GOP....Don't address what was done wrong....just ask why others haven't been given the same treatment. Sorry, but the GOP, just like individuals, need to worry about doing the right thing themselves no matter what the opposition has been doing. Unfortunately, the orange disaster has been corrupting all the I used to think was right about the GOP and even conservatives. The new GOP mentality is: anything is acceptable as long as it benefits myself (doesn't matter about the country anymore).

Those who accept this morass of Trump's cavalier nature of doing business, have lost their moral authority to question Hillary's corruption.

[Victoria33]

Exactly.

@mountaineer

Evidently, the Clinton Foundation is a registered charity with required accounting reports filed.  Trump's is NOT registered and provided NO accounting reports.  Therefore Trump's is a fraud on the people.

A fraud that most Americans are still, and as yet, unaware of.  But by November 8, they will be only too aware of it (all), I'm betting.

...shall be deemed to be a continuing fraud upon the people of the state of New York.

Well stated @Night Hides Not.  Many partisan Republicans are, understandably, quick to point out the Clinton foundation's analogous failures; in my opinion the more compelling argument is against Trump for his lunatic insistence that the Republican party could not afford to risk a potential citizenship problem with Cruz, all the while having these kinds of skeletons in his own closet.

Let's face it, Cruz was even more despised with GOPe than Trump. It really ticked them off that Ted was in it nearly to the bitter end.

All 16 candidates erred with their strategy, which was to be last man standing against Trump...Cruz included.

In retrospect that certainly proved to be a bad strategy and yes Cruz tried it.  However I don't think it was Jeb's strategy, he came out against Trump early and often (btw I'm not a Jeb supporter).  Walker also got out early with a call to the others to drop out in order to consolidate anti-Trump votes.  So it was a popular strategy but I don't think all 16 tried it.

And given that there were so many in the race with Trump having probably the largest individual base of supporters (although not a majority) I don't fault them for attempting that strategy.  But on the whole you're right, events proved it to be in error.

Here in NY, it's common knowledge that Schneiderman is a partisan DEMOCRAT and big HILLARY supporter. Can you say political witchhunt?

But, hey, what am I saying? So are the useful idiots in NeverTrump and so many many posters here.

Good job, primary voters.  Really good job.

A Presidential candidate running a corrupt charitable foundation that is mostly used to enrich his or herself.

Like many things in this race, you can use this to describe either candidate.

[cato potatoe]

Lord have mercy, this campaign's meltdown is spectacular!  If Trump makes it to the next debate, he's going to go out like a supernova.

[RoosGirl]

Given that I hate a meddlesome government even more than I hate the thought of a Trump presidency, I will give him a pass of sorts on this.  If it were a charity that was actually beneficial to the community I would be on their side regarding an issue as stupid as lack of licensing and gov't oversight of their private charitable business.

Yes he is, and it's likely he's known that Trump was acting outside the law for some time.  He waited until it could do the most damage.

[geronl]

Trump Foundation could be as big a scam as Trump University

[RoosGirl]

I guess Trump didn't hire the best person to oversee his charity.  That is a minimum criticism, even if you don't care about the licensing.  Whoever is in charge should have known and followed the law.

Of course!  There are many criticism to this, that I felt were pretty apparent and didn't need to spell them all out.  Most previous comments already had. :)

I'm still waiting on any examples of him hiring the best and brightest. So far I've seen nothing but clusterf***s in his campaign and career.

The closest thing to a good hire he made was his own daughter. And I think that counts as a sire, no a hire.
