Nah, if they had anything meaningful they would have dropped it in the last 24 hours, because the only hope might be to cut the legs off the tax issue before it dominates the news until at least the 2nd debate.

I don't think they have poo poo, but it's worth noting that Frank Lutz quoted someone the other day saying Wikileaks is dropping something on Wednesday.

Did someone say Jill Stein?

Besides the dumb domestic stuff she spouts all the time like pandering to anti-vaxxers, she also spouts pro-Putin talking points on foreign policy at every opportunity:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fihGcdF3Q24


She attends events hosted by RT, sits at the same table as Putin, and gets criticized by the Russian Green Party for her silence on Putin's crimes:

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/russian-greens-slam-stein-for-cozying-up-to-putin-your-silence-on-his-crimes-silences-our-struggle/


At best she's a useful idiot for the Kremlin thanks to her belief that America is responsible for everything in global affairs like Euromaidan or the expansion of NATO. At worst she's actively shilling for Putin.

Btw, Alan Chartock is great. I wish more people outside Upstate NY heard him.

Stein says that Hillary is more dangerous only because her photos are way more likely to jump ship and vote for her than for Trump. Jill Stein is just egotistical and wants as many votes as possible. That's why I find her stupid vanity campaign so obnoxious.

he very obviously just meant to say "a woman who's only ever produced a lot of work for the FBI" and it's dumb and gross that the NYT is trying to invent something sexist to make him look bad when his record both as mayor and as a public figure is full of actual terrible racism and sexism on his part

Yeah Frank Lutz is known for his gimmicky focus groups that generate GOP talking points as Night mentioned. Roger Stone is a massive prick GOP sleazeball operative with a fuckin Nixon tattoo between his shoulder blades.

Considering Ailes is the only potentially competent member of Trump's campaign outside of Conway, this is excellent news.

Also Christie is dumb and describing him as a guru in anything (other than maybe swallowing donuts) is hilarious.

It's probably just Trump calling Christie a fat oval office for 90 min as "debate prep".

Fine, better complaint:

Jill Stein is this year's embodiment of the left's perennial decision to join forces with the right in order to smash the moderate left; like how the Yippies in '68 made a shitshow of the convention nominating a guy who wanted to end Vietnam and left alone the guy who expanded the Vietnam War into two other countries.

Giuliani kept babbling about how Trump had to take those tax deductions because if he didn't, then his investors would be able to sue him.

Is there any truth to this?
Even if it were a corporate tax question rather than personal tax, and even if there were shareholders to sue him, they'd have to find a legal rule to stand on. Unfortunately for Giuliani, the state of Delaware (where Trump incorporates, because taxes) doesn't seem to have one.

Stein said in an NPR interview that she was more worried about Hillary because she was competent enough to do bad things, while Trump would just be a worthless figurehead.

This was her way of justifying pulling votes from Hillary, while simultaneously denying that she pulled more votes from Hillary than Trump.

Point of order: it is my understanding that everybody incorporates in Delaware because the state has massively streamlined the process (and court system) to make it as efficient as possible in a bid to, well, attract corporations to incorporate in Delaware. Not tax purposes.

Also since everybody else incorporates in Delaware most corporate lawyers are extremely well-versed in Delaware law. It is a positive feedback loop.
