538 Senate projection is out, narrow D lead, 50/50 is the most likely outcome right now (with the tiebreaker going to the VP).

Blindfolded AR enthusiast Jason Kander has a 35% chance of winning Missouri, although the most recent poll had him up 2, and there's been no polling since the ad started airing.

Feingold has a 93% chance of winning Wisconsin, which makes me extremely hard. Hope he runs for president in 2024.

Neither is gonna matter, Trump is gonna win in 2020 with an overwhelming majority and then he's gonna abolish term limits.

And it is on this day that America truly became great again... >.>;

This is a great list. I think even Donald Trump would have to admit, this is a great list about Donald Trump.

Or cup stacking, because stacking cups is always impressive

Trump used his foundation (funded by other people's money) to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal settlements on behalf of his for-profit companies, a clear violation of laws against "self-dealing" - using funds from a charity you control to your own benefit.

He might be more qualified-for-President than we first thought.

didn't see what was in wapo article (monthly limit

) but here's another one http://www.businessinsider.com/donal...ndation-2016-9

"Here are some of the other revelations from Fahrenthold:
Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida faced $120,000 in unpaid fines from the town of Palm Beach stemming from a dispute over the size of a flagpole. The tallest a flagpole could be in Palm Beach was 42 feet, but Trump insisted on an 80-foot pole, claiming that "you don't need a permit to put up the American flag." The town agreed to waive the fines if Trump's club made a $100,000 donation to a specific veterans charity. But Trump instead sent a check from his foundation, Fahrenthold reported.
Trump's New York golf courses agreed to settle a lawsuit by making a donation to the plaintiff's chosen charity, but the $158,000 donation was instead made by the Trump Foundation, according to The Post. The lawsuit was filed after a man, Martin Greenberg, hit a hole-in-one on the 13th hole at Trump's Westchester, New York, golf course during a charity tournament, briefly winning $1 million, which was taken away after it was revealed that the shot did not travel a required 150 yards. Trump's course allegedly made the hole too short.
Trump spent $30,000 of foundation money on two portraits of himself.
Trump spent $5,000 of foundation money to buy advertisements for his hotel chain.
Trump spent $12,000 of foundation money to buy a football helmet signed by former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow."

Trump campaign stealing an analogy from Huckabee with the Skittles.

**Deftscythe** · 2016-09-21 00:21

**Fiye** · 2016-09-21 04:06

I think Hillary woke up.

**Gredival** · 2016-09-21 04:31

Ya'll acting like Hillary was the one on the podium saying All Lives Matter.

**Quicklet** · 2016-09-21 04:37

That's okay. Trump will be tweeting furiously this morning about the "lawless BLM thugs" in Charlotte and how only he can restore law and order, how the police aren't respected enough, and how this is all Obama's fault.
