I just saw the Nat'l Enquirer front page in a checkout line. Maybe it may explains the frenzied
posting from Camp Bansalot. The story is about its investigation into sexual escapades and coverups with lots of pictures. I'm sure it's at least partially responsible for getting Camp Bansalot all in a knot. I'll I can say is that altho the NE is a rag it was, much to my dismay, right about John Edwards.

Interesting read touching on everything: Bernie's momentum; Clinton's Foundation; Trump's finances.

What's with calling Bill 1st gent if HRC gets elected? Aren't former presidents always referred to

Bwahahaha. I got a hide for something soooo tame. Seems I hit a nerve.
Whatever will they do if Hill gets the nom? What is their action plan to deflect the non-stop lambasting of you know who? Rethugs will be having a field day with sobriquets.

Over the years, the pair has been at the center of multiple controversies for their business dealings and Republicans are already using them to attack Clinton. One aide for a rival 2016 campaign told Business Insider that Clinton's brothers will definitely cause issues for her White House bid.
"Will they be a problem? Yes. They underscore everything that people fear and hate about the Clintons," the aide said. "They're essentially the id of Bill and Hillary Clinton. A bunch of money-grubbing and opportunistic hillbillies with no sense of ethics, decency, or even legality."
Indeed, while Hugh Rodham has yet to make headlines this cycle, last weekend, the New York Times published a story delving into Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham. The paper reported he had repeatedly tried to profit from his connection to the former first family.

"The connections to the Clintons have given Mr. Rodham, a self-described 'facilitator,' a unique appeal and a range of opportunities," The Times' Steve Eder wrote. "But his business dealings have often invited public scrutiny and uncomfortable questions for the Clintons."

Hillary's brothers could cause major problems for her presidential campaign.
Interesting side note is that Tony was married to Barbara Boxer's daughter with whom he had a son.snip
