Run That By Me Again? "WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOSE?"
https://still4hill.com/2016/08/24/run-that-by-me-again/If you really want to go there, no one asked President George H.W. Bush to shut down his foundation when his son ran for and then won (well was conceded) the presidency in 2000.
Neither did anyone suggest both H.W.s and Ws foundations shut down when Jeb was running. Where was the hue and cry?
We have eschewed macros and graphics during this cycle because they are slick and often the sourcing is questionable. Think this appears trustworthy.
Then, since Jeb is, in fact, not the person running, there is this.
There have been many Trump moves during this campaign that cause Hillary supporters to ask, What if Hillary had done that?
There are reports that Trump profited off the campaign in a few ways.
First by renting office space in Trump Tower to the campaign as headquarters and then by jacking up the rent. Then there is the matter of his diverting campaign donations to buy $55,000 worth of his own book, from which he collected royalties, to stuff gift bags for delegates at the convention.
Delegates to the DNC who received free copies of Hard Choices in your gift bags, please raise your hands! OH! Nobody!
As to Trumps tax returns, yet to be released, his son thinks this is a bad idea for the most outrageous of reasons.
Eric Trump: Dad Would Be Foolish to Release Taxes
According to Eric Trump, it would be foolish for his father Donald to release his income-tax returns amid the presidential race. You would have a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about, the 32-year-old spawn of the real-estate mogul said on CNBC Wednesday.
So, wait a minute! The thing all working and even many retired Americans are required to do once a year is going to confuse people? Run that by us again?

there is no place you can run from him. The world will feel the results. Markets will tank. Wars will start. Nothing and nowhere will be far enough away.
