Big media news for Hillary Clinton Tuesday night as the Arizona Republic which had never in its history endorsed a Democrat for president ― has thrown its endorsement to the former secretary of state, citing her lifetime of never coming across like an impulsive man-baby: “The president commands our nuclear arsenal. Trump can’t command his own rhetoric.” And from the same article But not so fast! Donald Trump has a media coup of his own to brag about. Seems that some eagle-eyed investigative reporters at the Baltimore Gazette have brought home a dilly of a scoop: “Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.”
Trumpet sting!
Earlier last week an NBC intern was seen hand delivering a package to Clinton’s campaign headquarters, according to sources. The package was not given to secretarial staff, as would normally happen, but the intern was instead ushered into the personal office of Clinton campaign manager Robert Mook. Members of the Clinton press corps from several media organizations were in attendance at the time, and a reporter from Fox News recognized the intern, but said he was initially confused because the NBC intern was dressed like a Fed Ex employee.
That’s some serious shoe-leather! Unfortunately there was un problema. As the Baltimore City Paper’s Brandon Weigel reported last week:
The Baltimore Gazette, a newspaper that existed very briefly just after the Civil War, has returned online as a site to spread fake news stories and other nonsense. Side bets on whether Trump cites the Baltimore Gazette story for his latest conspiracy theory?

I have lived through many Presidential elections, my first was the election of Harry Truman (I was too young to really be aware of the final Roosevelt election), and that includes many quite bizarre campaigns, but this one tops them all in misdirection.
Trump criticizes women for being fat and then his staff claims Clinton said it. Just on of the many such instances.
Help me out, I'm looking for the famous quote, was it in 1984?

Phil, Trump is a scumbag. He's not just an embarrassment to Republicans and conservatives, he's also an embarrassment to Americans.
I'm not a Hillary fan either.

I'm not a Hillary fan either. Still, you've got to admit the US will still exist in 2020 and 2024 if Hillary gets elected. With Trump, probably not. There may yet arise some great conservative spokesman for a generation, who gets elected as the Republican after Hillary. All he has to do is appeal to Hispanics, Blacks, and women and he could be elected. I can just see a Moderate Republican running against a Sanders-style Socialist, and it would be his election. As a moderate Democrat, Hillary is not so very different from a Moderate Republican anyway.

The Arizona Republic newspaper has endorsed Clinton (first Democrat since 1890!).
The are getting the usual letters cancelling subscriptions, denouncing their choice, etc. but they are also getting death threats. This is exactly why they had to make the endorsement they did. Trump surrounds his campaign with the deplorables who WOULD make death threats or even attempt to carry them out.
Rather a self-fulfilling prophesy, no? No big surprise though: No matter how well behaved a candidate is, the Republicans always have somebody who shows up at their rally who is happy to make all the disgusting comments the press needs. They just can't seem to help it.

Is it time to start speculating on who will take Trump's place on account of the Cuba treason thing?
Looks like Rubio is ready to throw his hat in the ring. Maybe Cruz, too?

I think the Trump Foundation revelations and the Cuba thing will have real impacts. That is "real" corruption.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
