Please quote the legal statute that says a candidate cannot reveal their choices for cabinet positions if they are elected.
“Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 599, “[w]hoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this le or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this le or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
Got ing damn Bookaki. Can't you read? That's not what it says at all.
Where did CC's foul mouth come from all of the sudden???
From all the ankle biting attack dogs.
Ok, well let me give you some advice. Profanity is often used for effect, but when you use it in almost every sentence it loses it's effect.

Clinton also has a massive head start over Trump when it come to analytics, polling and building models of likely voters and turnout plans. Probably ground game too since Trump does so poorly in this area.
Trump’s Campaign: Just Kidding About the $6 Million For Veterans
Back in January, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump boycotted a debate moderated bysometimes–rival Megyn Kelly of Fox News, opting to host a stunt fundraising event for veterans’ charities instead. He boasted at the time that the event raised $5 million and that he had personally donated $1 million from his self-proclaimed $8.7 billion fortune — for a $6 million total haul.
Days after the event, Trump lauded himself for an event that could “not have been better.” “I did something great for veterans,” he claimed, adding, “You know, as they say when something works out, it was a ten. And I didn’t know it was going to be a ten.”
But last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that the promised beneficiaries had apparently received just a “fraction of the promised money.” Trump deflected these criticisms, telling CBS News “I don’t have the final numbers, but the money we raised for veterans has been mostly distributed. We’re looking for some other really worthy places to distribute the final [funds] … But for the most part, it has been distributed. We raised millions of dollars.”
On Friday, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski revealed that the fundraiser actually netted less than initial claims.
Lewandowski told CNN that he did not “know the exact number,” but explained that the $6 million figure reflected only pledged donations — not the amount actually collected. The Washington Post quoted Lewandowski as putting the total raised at just $4.5 million, but he later told CNN that that number was incorrect.
As Trump has already contributed $43 million to his campaign, it is noteworthy that he did not opt to make up the difference, given his stated concern that “illegal immigrants are treated better in many cases than our vets.”

Trump is actually, verifiably THE PERFECT REPUG: he opens his mouth, he BULL S, SLANDERS, LIES.
As much as I love Mr. Trump, he has been caught it clear lies many times. That does worry me that he won't be very transparent in the White House, but then again, neither would Hillary. Just look at Benghazi.
7 or 8 Repug committees found nothing!
Benghazi!
She told the public one thing happened and told her daughter something totally different.7 or 8 Repug committees found nothing!
Benghazi!
and where's the crime? where's the conspiracy to tell help to "stand down"?
a Trump-fellator like you GAFD about "truth"?
My original point is that they both have been caught lying. Nothing you said discredits that.and where's the crime? where's the conspiracy to tell help to "stand down"?

LOL old jew got Trumped.
Meh, another poll came out today that has her up 3.
These batches of polls are skewed as . I dont think you can really gauge what's really going on while Clinton has to deal with two people at once. And it is early.
Other polls are out that has her beating Trump in 2 swing states.
All useless polls though. Gotta get within a month or two of the elections to know.

Donald Trump backtracking continues: Campaign now seeking Muslim voters
If you’re keeping a tally, this is, at least, the fifth time presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has backtracked on promises he made during the primary election and caucuses.
Thus far,
Trump is changing course on not raising taxes on his rich friends,
he has backtracked on punishing women for having an abortion,
reversed on the anti-trans bathroom bill in North Carolina and even
his legislative surrogate admitted that Trump will never actually build that wall on the U.S./Mexico border his supporters chant about at rallies.
Now,
Trump campaign is seeking votes from the very Muslims Trump has promised to ban
from the United States.
In a phone interview with The Hill, a top national security adviser for Trump, Walid Phares, admitted that the campaign is in talks with Muslim leaders because they are a small but important voting bloc.
He explained that these talks are merely a natural extension of the campaign’s policy work for Middle Eastern affairs.

"Words don't matter, policies don't matter. We'll dream up policies after we're elected"

You Repug supporters are being hilariously CONNED by a Tee Vee pitchman selling snake oil.

the less Grassley bends over and lets Trump rape him
GOP senator sparks conversation about Trump’s tall tales
Donald Trump this week unveiled a list of 11 potential Supreme Court nominees, which impressed Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). Referring to his conservative colleagues on Capitol Hill, many of whom aren’t sold on the presumptive Republican nominee, Grassley toldBloomberg Politics, “If anybody had any doubts – and I think a lot of people do have doubts – this will help settle that.”
But for some on the right, the fear is that the list is a sham, which Trump will abandon if elected.
Grassley added that these concerns are unfounded.
Asked about concerns Trump wouldn’t honor list, Grassley says he has “heard a lot of misstatements and corrections by Trump” but has “never heard him accused of being a liar.”
Really? Never?

More than 100 lawsuits, disputes, tied to Trump and his companies
While Donald J. Trump refuses to release his federal tax returns, saying his tax rate is “none of your business,” a USA TODAY analysis found Trump’s businesses have been involved in at least 100 lawsuits and other disputes related to unpaid taxes or how much tax his businesses owe.
Trump’s companies have been engaged in battles over taxes almost every year from the late 1980s until as recently as March, the analysis of court cases, property records, and other do ents across the country shows. At least five Trump companies were issued warrants totaling more than $13,000 for late or unpaid taxes in New York state just since Trump declared his candidacy in June 2015, according to state records.
This spring, as Trump flew to campaign rallies around the country aboard his trademark private jet, the state of New York filed a tax warrant to try to collect $8,578 in unpaid taxes from the Trump-owned company that owns the Boeing 757. The company has since paid that tax bill.
As recently as last week, Trump said he was “willing to pay more” taxes personally and that “taxes for the rich will go up somewhat” if he becomes president. But the lawsuits and other tax-related disputes show a different reality for his businesses.
They illustrate
a pattern of systematically disputing tax bills,
arguing for lower property assessments, and in some cases
not paying taxes until the government takes additional action.
At least three dozen times, Trump companies’ unpaid tax bills have forced the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to go to local courts to get liens against his properties to try to collect overdue bills.
New Jersey also had to go to court for a lien to collect a Trump company’s unpaid tax bill. Eventually, those disputes were resolved, and his companies paid some amount of taxes.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...bles/84543538/
Of course, Repugs think the IRS must be abolished, and avoiding/evading taxes to the max is super-patriotic, esp for well-connected, wealthy draft dodgers.
The takeaway line from the whole article:
Eventually, those disputes were resolved, and his companies paid some amount of taxes
The local/state taxing authorities just throw out large numbers hoping some stupid people will just pay them . Smart people protest them and don't pay until it's settled. It's call business and both sides play the game. Bexar County just raised the appraisal on my commercial property almost 65% in one year. I'b be an idiot to just pay it. I will protest the increase and not pay the taxes until we agree on an appropriate number. They get an increase and I don't have to pay the full 65% number they opened with. The process is not illegal or unethical.
Wasting govt's time and taxpayers' $MS on silly, and eventually pointless, ineffective tax disputes is UNETHICAL.
Simply makework for lawyers, like army grunts picking up cigarette butts from the parade ground.
Protesting ridiculous tax assessments is unethical?
