QOTD: "This is a wakeup call to the American people who are supporting Donald Trump, thinking that he’s the guy who’s going to rail against the establishment—he’s not. He is the establishment. He’s the golfing buddy, the texting buddy, of John Boehner. The same guy that praises Hillary Clinton, that praises Bernie Sanders. So if you’re out there thinking that Donald Trump can somehow be the guy who can take down the establishment, think again because quite the opposite is true." --Sen. Mike Lee

Bonus QOTD: "The Clinton Foundation was a convenient way to warehouse hundreds of Clinton campaign people until Hillary announced her candidacy. The foundation was enriched by contributions from individuals and countries who would benefit from State Department actions while Hillary was Secretary of State.

Hillary and Bill received enormous speaking fees- Bill from some of the same individuals and countries while Hillary "served”. Hillary argued that she has shown her philanthropic nature by donating some of her gigantic speaking fees to charity. Which charity? The Clinton Foundation,of course, which was employing her future campaign team." --Rich Baehr
