This is a brutal ad. Gloves are off. The question becomes will Trump fight or wallow off the Octagon. Is McCormicks position that Trump isn’t a fraud? Someone should ask him. I’m genuinely curious. McCormick says Oz is a fraud. Shouldn’t there be a control to measure McCormicks — PolitiTweet.org

There has always been a pestilence in our land. It is a type of red tide that poisons the ideals of the country by attacking the idea that freedom applies to everyone. The struggle for dignity and humanity through the recognition of American rights is the fundamental struggle — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican Party wasn’t brand new in 1860. The first nominee was in 1856, John Fremont. Johnson was from Tennessee but loyal to the Union. The Democratic ticket was led by a relieved General, George McClellan. There were a faction of democrats known derisively as — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

We are habituated to process these stories as pay to play stories. That’s not what this is. This is evidence of payments for espionage. Kushner served in the West Wing and had access to the United States most sensitive secrets. This is corruption on such a gargantuan scale — PolitiTweet.org

His tenure was a corrupt travesty that is still playing out. The evidence here is overwhelming. Jared Kushner advanced the interests of Saudi Arabia from a West Wing Office and got paid $2 Billion to do it. Where is Aldrich Ames again? Good reporting lays out facts. Common Sense — PolitiTweet.org

In fact, it may be one of the single greatest penetrations in espionage history and the payoff suggests that is exactly how the Saudis saw it. Look at the picture. The murdering Saudi and the most corrupt Americans to ever serve in government. Kushner is directly responsible for — PolitiTweet.org

Washington DC is awash in Saudi and Emirates cash. It is everywhere. The reporting here is outstanding. I want to make a couple points about what this is. Appropriately, the journalists ask ethics experts to comment. However, this is much closer to being an espionage story. — PolitiTweet.org

via @NYTimes. This is an astonishing story about corruption. Without any question. Without any doubt. Truly, without any close competition. Jared and Ivanka are the most corrupt American officials in our history bar none. https://t.co/xlbX9DZUUI — PolitiTweet.org

That didn’t happen because @ChrisChristie made different choices than @RepLizCheney. I grew up in New Jersey and have lived out West for a long time. There is a difference between cowboys and Bennies. Cowboys stand tall, keep quiet and hold their ground in a fight. @RepLizCheney — PolitiTweet.org

I think @ChrisChristie might be confused. For example, the ambulance “WANTED” to get across the George Washington Bridge. It couldn’t. Vinny, in the back, dead, but I digress. @RepLizCheney WANTED to preserve the peaceful transition of power that had gone on uninterrupted from — PolitiTweet.org
