    It will be interesting to see the amount of money being brought in by the foundation diminish substantially in 2017.

    I loved how the discussion regarding the paltry donations actually made by the foundation (barely more than what is required to be deemed a charitable entity) was combated by the argument that the Clinton Foundation was engaged in all these "internal" charitable activities all over the world. As it turns out, that one of those activities was paying for Chelsea's wedding and paying her $800k per year for her substantial managerial skills and keen judgment.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      It needs to be shut down to send a message. It shouldn't be tolerated. It was not a charitable organization; less than 6% of income went to charity.

              Roll back a handfull of Obama executive orders. Easy to do. Gives some meat to his base. Minimal real impact.
              One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                  I read an article earlier this year noting that presidents generally keep their promises, at something like a 70% rate. I'd like to see a compilation of Trump's promises over the past 18 months and keep score. I expect his fulfillment rate will be substantially less than 70%, but I suspect his supporters won't care.
                  I did find some humor in Rachel Maddow's characterization of the European markets that had just opened and were down 2-3%. I don't remember her exact wording, but she seemed to be claiming that the markets were in a free fall.

                    On CNN the dems gleefully were calling it a major catastrophe and gave quick updates to how much the futures were down. The same people who don't want to allow Americans the choice to put money in the market and now have regulations restricting what advisors can suggest to their clients.

                    CNN market guru's. LOL

                          LOL, I will bet in 8 years people will be saying, "I thought Trump deported all of them 8 years ago".

                            I'm not sure that anyone knows what Trump's priorities or policies will be in office including him.
