And then he came after the Cubs

Well, more like the Ricketts, and I wouldn't want to be on a list of their supporters, but really...

American politics now includes threatening people who donate to the competition??? I never thought I'd see this, I guess I've outlived my imagination.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter on Monday to denounce a super political action committee opposing his campaign that's primarily funded by Marlene Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs.

"I hear the Rickets (sic) family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!" wrote Trump, the businessman and reality TV show star who is no stranger to making pronouncements, name-calling denunciations and predictions via social media.

Trump's message apparently was in response to a USA Today story noting that Ricketts, the family matriarch who lives in Nebraska,had put $3 million into the Our Principles PAC in January. The PAC has spent about $3.5 million in ads, mailings and other efforts to oppose Trump, federal records show.
