Extreme vetting

Last night on cable (Think it was Lawrence O'Donnell) they brought up most campaigns vet the candidates prior to the campaign to see if problems could turn up.

I'm sure Hillary even though she has had extreme vetting from repub's over the last 30 years. They probably went through it again just to make sure the campaign staff could respond faster.

Donnie on the other hand probably did not do any. Or if they did it probably was something like are you the greatest. And if his campaign staff actually asked him if there was anything in his past that may turn up. He just said no. I doubt if he even asked the question of his self. And if he did he appears to have lied to his self.

When his campaign first launched, the few experienced people they hired offered to do basic "op res" or an investigation that any candidate first does on themselves... and that Trump personally intervened and said "no" to hiring private investigators to start digging.
