A surge in Democratic voter registration has cut Republicans? advantage in Orange County to less than 6 percentage points and has doubled the number of Democratic cities over the past year.
The Republican margin has been shrinking since 1990, when the GOP edge was 22 points. But in the past six months, the pace of change has been four times as fast as the 26-year average ? due in part to the GOP?s controversial presidential nominee. That could hurt the local Republicans in November?s down-ticket races. ?Donald Trump has become our best marketing tool,? said Henry Vandermeir, chairman of the Democratic Party of Orange County. ?He?s insulted pretty much every constituency in this county, which has helped drive Democratic registration and turnout to new highs.? Vandermeir?s registration efforts have gotten a boost from other quarters. In addition to the county Democratic Party, at least four left-leaning groups ? including MoveOn.org ? have been registering voters in Orange County. County GOP Chairman Fred Whitaker said his party has gotten virtually no outside help. It keeps getting better.

Almost all of Trump's contributions (to the extent he is not self-funding) come from small donors, who do not expect the same favors.
Bernie had said the same thing about Hillary and her donors

The truth is I don't like that and was not happy to see this news. But given the fact that Wall Street has pumped over 100x more money into her campaign than Trump's, I think that he is far more likely to take them on than her. There's a 0% chance these firms are pumping all this money into her without expecting a handsome return on their investment. Almost all of Trump's contributions (to the extent he is not self-funding) come from small donors, who do not expect the same favors.

One point for you. What about the other part you conveniently ignored: Trump positions himself as the anti-Wall Street candidate but accepts big donations from them and they compose almost half of his economic advisory council but you have no problem with that. Can I laugh at you too? One point for me?

No, I don't but at least she does not position herself as the anti-Wall Street candidate...

Good Luck with that one. If you feel Hillary represents your values, by all means, get out and vote for her. You might want to hold out though, I understand the DNC will be flying into Teterboro pallets of cash for votes.... need to ensure a landslide!

The $19,000 number does not match the ones in the politico ones. For examples: - ? Stephen Feinberg, co-founder and CEO of Cerberus Capital Management, who contributed $339,400 to Trump Victory, the Republican?s nominee joint fundraising account with the national and state Republican parties. Feinberg's wife gave another $339,400. How do you feel about all these hedge fund managers not only contributing to his campaign but also being part of his economic advisory council? what about the fact that almost half the members of his economic advisory council donated significantly to his campaign?

Compare the paltry amount in donations that Trump has received from Wall Street with the $100 million+ that Crooked Hillary has received from them and you'd find that indeed, Trump is very different. Among hedge funds alone, they have donated nearly $50 million to her with only $19,000 to Trump. http://www.wsj.com/articles/hedge-fun ... r-donald-trump-1469784601

Oh... Nice regurgitation by Vox of the official Obama Spin... you left out the part where the Iranians don't have an international banking system (Sharia??) and are unable to take EFT or checks. So explain why when the West bends over backwards to "help" the Mullahs (cash really??) they always bitch slap Obama and Kerry in return? Do the Iranian ransom payment statements now nullify the final payments of whatever deal Obama claims is in place???

Trump and campaign admitted there was no film, and the facts don't add up - money paid to release hostages. http://www.vox.com/2016/8/4/12370848/ransom-iran-400-million But believe whatever you want! By January 2016, the countries had struck a deal ? the US would pay Iran $1.7 billion, which amounts to about $300 million in interest on top of the originally frozen assets (accounting for inflation). The settlement was announced the same day in January as Iran received its first round of sanctions relief from the Iran deal. The $400 million payment, delivered in foreign cash because US law prevents the government from giving Iran dollars, was the first installment toward the $1.7 billion total. Getting together large amounts of foreign cash is hard, apparently ? hence the installment plan. So there you have it. The payment, which sounds really shady out of context, was actually the end of a boring, decades-old international legal case totally unrelated to the hot-button nuclear and prisoner issues.

I would imagine that the parents or family of any hostage would not care what method was used to return their love ones. Payment for hostages however is agaist our government's policy as it could lead to additional terrorism.

Except that Obama and Kerry are made to look like fools again... Not only are the Iranians publishing photos of the cash on a pallet, they say the cash was ransom. Why go to the trouble of changing currency from US to other kinds? And now they have taken more American hostages. Remember when they traded 5 senior Taliban leaders and $1 million cash for one US traitor?

I think DONALD TRUMP missed his best opportunity to be PRESIDENT about 20 years ago ... He would have been the perfect candidate for an easy win ... but there would be only one catch.
TRUMP would have been perfect for South Africa during the years of apartheid!

Interesting dilemma - cash for live hostages or dead hostages with no payment, but public outcry - hostages rescued by force has a poor percentage of success, with some or all hostages killed by kidnappers or friendly fire! I wonder how many parents / families would be happy with the non-payment method ... I wonder if a family from the political bureaucracy would be happy with the non-payment method of a loved one held hostage too ?

New evidence now suggests that Trump could be right. O-blame-a did send cash to Iran for hostages and the Iranians video taped it. It was reported by daily mail.
