    1). I never paid 20 percent interest on a 10-year-old car.

    2). Why was it not credible? You can find the same information at Snopes and you say Snopes isn't credible so I found another fact checking site. Either what they say is true or it isn't. If it isn't, explain why. goalposts.jpg

    Because he wanted to leave open the possibility of an independent run for president?

    This is a story now..
    But the convention will begin...
    Bernie will give interviews in which he acts mildly pissed...
    Then he'll get up there and say we have to stop Trump by any means necessary...
    That means voting HRC....
    Then THAT will be the headline...
    Stop Trump by any means...

    Scandal possible net positive.

    I read it the other way, but you're right. It doesn't much matter. It's a terrible and unseemly suggestion either way.

    Maybe. He couldn't survive either primary.

    Trump didn't get rich. He was born rich. Big difference.

    Here is tony's initial comment, which is factually incorrect. He can attack sources or move the goalposts all he likes, but there is no doubt he was wrong.

    The implication of his comment was clear. He suggested that Trump was only being accused of racism because he is running against a Democrat. Of course, that isn't true, either. One reason we know it isn't true is that Trump has been accused of racism in the past, long before he started his run for president. This has been clearly demonstrated on the thread no matter how much Tony wants to claim otherwise. This is without getting into Trump's plans regarding immigration or other issues that seem to have a hell of a lot of appeal to racists.

    The really funny part is Tony later deciding to add the word credible into his statement. So, the current accusations against Trump are credible? Honestly, if he was running as a Democrat, that's exactly what Tony would be saying, but I don't think he means it now.

    If she didn't do anything wrong, why did they strip her speaking slot?

    Yes, there's a big difference between $2 million and $1 billion.

    I assume that is more about how things look than whether or not it was wrong.

    Reading is not your strong suit. I said if you added "credibly" then you'd have to not count all the current charges.

    Not when you get to set your own valuation on assets.
