The Selling of Elliott Broidy
On April 13th, 2018, the Wall Street Journal published a story reporting that Elliott Broidy, a venture capitalist and major Republican party fundraiser, who at the time was deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, had agreed to pay former Playboy Playmate of the Month Shera Bechard $1.6 million. The money was to buy Bechards silence about her affair with Broidy, which resulted in Bechard becoming pregnant and having an abortion.
...
What are we to make of all this? Note that Bechard apparently believes she became pregnant around September 22nd, 2017. An online pregnancy calculator, if Bechard had used one, would suggest a conception date around September 29th, but such a comparatively late date is inconsistent with Bechards statement to Davidson on October 31st that she was about seven weeks pregnant at that point. The most plausible explanation for Bechards projected due date is that she believes she got pregnant during her trip to New York, and she assumed a due date exactly nine months later, that is, June 22nd, 2018.
...
Trump spent all of Friday the 22nd at his golf club in Bedminster, 45 miles from New York City, until 5 PM, when he flew down to Alabama for a campaign rally. He returned to the club a little before midnight. In other words, Trump had no scheduled obligations during the precise 24 hours from the afternoon of the 21st to the afternoon of the 22nd during which Bechard seems to believe she conceived a child. The next day, Bechard flew back from New York to Los Angeles.
...
If Bechard traveled to New York for a paid date if she was, to use the current parlance, sugaring to supplement her otherwise invisible income stream why would she do so to meet Elliott Broidy? Broidy, after all, lives just a short distance from her in Los Angeles, and he had a busy schedule in Washington DC that week, taken up by his increasingly elaborate influence peddling efforts.

Very circumstantial. But the circumstances for "Broidy was the father" look just as stretched.

You'd have to be pretty darned hungry to have an affair with either one of them...

but, Trump would probably be the more appealing. Certainly NOT Broidy.
Take a poll and I think you'll find the majority of women would agree with me.
Gag on both, truth be known.
