Well, he’s accused Clinton of treating her office as Secretary of State as a cash cow, and she is being protected by a corrupt President. Earlier, he attacked the rigged system, rigged by corrupt politicians. I’m sensing a theme here. ---

He accused the Clintons of multiple instances of influence peddling without, unfortunately, remembering to mention what specific influences were being peddled. Maybe he’s keeping that for his super huge blockbuster speech on Monday or Tuesday, when he promises to _really_ blow the lid off. ---

It’s become bonded to the cap he always wears to hold it down. ---

“Blow the lid off?” I heard on the radio that he was going to “spill the beans.” The man is certainly a master of metaphor; it’s a pleasure just to hear him speak. ---

Trump is as corrupt as they come. He said for a while that he wasn’t like all the other corrupt politicians. But, he is proof that you don’t have to be an establishment politician to be corrupt. ---

I’m still waiting for the information his detectives dug up in Hawaii about Obama’s birth certificate.

If they found something, it will come out. The time isn’t right, and guess what? Mr. Trump does what he wants and he’s not going to do it on our time. He’s going to do it when the timing is perfectly strategic and it’s not now and it wasn’t the place for him to say it. … ---

Stating that your opponent has taken bribes is pretty out there. The fact that Trump used a teleprompter is hilarious. ---

What speech are we talking about here – the one Trump will deliver at the convention in Cleveland accepting the GOP nomination, or the one he will not deliver on election night in November? ---
