How about media start talking about Trump's mob connections

While the media is OBSESSED with Hillary's e-mail server, I think some stories should come out about Trump's possible MOB connections..

Wouldn't we want Trump to get the nomination?

Then start talking about all the dirt we can?

We should be happy that the republican nominee has such baggage. Your approach, early outing of scandal, seems to help the republicans put forward their most electable candidate.

Similarly the republicans will hope the democratic nominee will have a lot of baggage. They will sit on the scandals until the nominee is chosen and then release the dirt, when it can cause the most impact and benefit for their candidate.
