ā€œTrump has said that among his secrets of success is that he surrounds himself with the ā€˜best and most serious peopleā€™ and with ā€˜people you can trustā€™ā€¦ā€

To stab a man in the face with a broken margarita glass.

And commit securities fraud.

With the Genoveses and Bonannos.

Well, in all fairness, Trumpā€™s opponents and the GOP establishment generally have been doing oppo research on Trump for months now. If this is all theyā€™ve been able to feed to the media by now, I donā€™t think Trump has a lot to worry about on this front. His supporters, who would lynch Obama for being associated with the likes of Tony Rezko, arenā€™t going to give a ratā€™s ass about Trump and this sleaze ball. Thatā€™s how they roll.

He likes to surround himself with like-minded criminals.

If Mr. Sater was good enough for the government to work with, I see no reason why he wasnā€™t good enough for Mr. Trumpā€¦

During WWII, the U.S. Government worked with Lucky Luciano and Albert Anastasia. Doesnā€™t mean they were nice guys, or not stone-cold killers.

oh no, thereā€™s moreā€¦there is always more.

Iā€™m sure Bush and Cruz are waiting for just the right time to release what they consider juicy and/or damaging stuff. At this point, considering his followers and supporters, Iā€™m not really sure what could damage Trump ā€¦ unless it involved a pre-pubescent boy, perhaps?

depending on the time period, there is always going to be some damaging info on Trump. The time period might be at issue, but there is always opportunity in going through other peopleā€™s ā€˜garbageā€™.

Ah, now I get it. Trumpā€™s going to use the mafia to take on Isis, Al Queda, Putin, China, the Mexicans, and Rosie Oā€™Donnell.

The more there is, the more popular he becomes. Unless he is charged with a crime, he has a good chance for the nomination. Hanging out with criminals will not derail him.

And not sure why we want to. Even Bernie will beat Trump in the general if he gets the nomination by some fluke.

Best memory in the whole world:

ā€œFelix Sater, boy, I have to even think about it,ā€ Trump said, referring questions about Sater to his staff. ā€œIā€™m not that familiar with him.ā€

Trump remembers things that never happened, and canā€™t remember things that did indeed happen, and this is what he describes as the ā€œworldā€™s greatest memory.ā€

I think the worldā€™s most selective and inventive memory is a far better description.
