h/t Instapundit
CBS This Morning on Monday eagerly hyped a new expose by the Washington Post: As a child, Donald Trump pulled pigtails and threw rocks at kids.

#1  At least he didn't put a dog on his roof, right?

#2  So he was a pretty normal little boy huh?

#3  And I'm hoping he still pulls pigtails!

#4  Disrupted Sunday School ice cream socials, sassed his mother, annoyed the neighborhood cats, had "stuff under his bed"', fired BB -Gun on numerous occasions without adult supervision, the "noodle incident" and the M-80 in the toilet episode.

Clinton camp sends out desperate plea for more funds
[NYP] Campaign manager Robby Mook has written a panicky pitch to Hillary Clinton supporters warning that fundraising numbers are dipping ‐ even adding "that’s how elections are lost."

"Our poll numbers are holding steady, which is good. We’re growing our field organization, building out neighborhood teams in communities all over the country -- which is even better," Mook wrote.

"But that’s happening at a time when our fundraising levels are, frankly, dipping."

Mook appears to attribute lower fundraising numbers with overconfidence. "It seems that with our convention in the rearview mirror and pundits constantly saying that ’momentum’ is on our side, a lot of people believe that we have this locked up and that donations don’t matter anymore."

But, Mook warns, Donald Trump can still win the election.

#1  I call BS on this.

The Clintons have already raised over a billion dollars. They can, with five phone calls, get a billion more in a week.

Not really sure what Mook is up to other than psyops.

#2  Obamacare is expensive.

#3  The Democrat internal polling is much more reliable than the polls the news organizations put out for public consumption. Money is needed because after spending hundreds of millions the election is Hillary's to lose.

#4  'A woman can never be too rich or too thin,'

I guess she's decided on the former. It's all in line with the basic Lefty principle that you need to flash your virtue not by deeds but with other peoples money.

#5  The Donks are good at burning through other people's money. Read somewhere the other day that the Hillary campaign has won the spending race; spent far more than Trump at this point. Do you want a fiscally conservative POTUS or one that spends money like a teen age boy with a credit card in a cat house?

He's raising that billion dollars you allude too.

#8  my guess is that Bill blew all their money on hookers and booze...
Posted by: CrazyFool || 08/22/2016 11:28 Comments || Top||

#9  Well CF, at least he spent the money wisely.
Posted by: Besoeker || 08/22/2016 11:48 Comments || Top||

#10  and the rest he just wasted.

#11  Every request for donations is made to sound desperate.

Having said that she is burning through a ton of money (while Trump has spent nearly nothing) and she is barely staying even. They've probably done the math and know they'll be out of money and would rather fleece the peasants than dip into big donor pockets at this point.

#12  The big donors have their own ways of estimating risks vs. returns.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 08/22/2016 13:48 Comments || Top||

#13  she's blown (sorry about that wordplay) several hundred million dollars on anti-Trump ads and she can't pull away. What happens when he starts ads?
