    I remember how inevitable it was that Gary Hart would become President in 1988. Turns out the Donna Rice "scandal" was a set up! Crazy. Read the article. It points out that if Hart had stayed in the race and won, then no Bush Sr which most likely means no Bush Jr. No Bill Clinton because Hart would've been the nominee in 1992. No Hillary. Maybe no Obama since he was a reaction to Bush. And no Trump who was a reaction to Obama. No Bush Jr or Sr means no Iraq War which maybe means no ISIS. Crazy how one stupid photo of Gary Hart and Donna Rice changed everything.

    Republican party has been maximally corrupt for a long time. Trump just does it out in the open.

    Dems had a porn star say that she slept with Trump. She was so convincing that Trump actually thought he had slept with her and paid her $130,000 not to tell anyone.

    Then he remembered that he didn't sleep with her.

    Anyone who's seen and listened to our FLOTUS and is aware of her many outstanding qualities knows that Stephanie Clifford is nothing more than a money-grubbing loser.

    As for this ridiculous thread, Gary Hart had about as much chance of being elected as Bernie Sanders did/does. None at all.

    A story in the Atlantic where Gary Hart says a dead guy told him another dead guy told him he set him up is what we adults call FAKE NEWS.

    This pic alone proves the story is a lie.

    Do you consider it fake news when Tiny denies he promised a million dollars to Warren's charity of choice if she takes a DNA test and it shows she has Native American in her?

    Do you think it's fake news when Tiny on Air Force One claim that he knew nothing of the payment to Stormy Daniels and then later says he knew about it?

    Do you think it's considered ok for a president of the USA to call others by derogatory names such as Crooked Hillary, Pocahontas or horseface?
