WHOA. We needed to “drain the swamp,” indeed. Mr. Cole is getting plenty of reaction. If this is true, boy did we all dodge a bullet. A Hillary Clinton white house would have been even more corrupt than we even imagined. How many people were scurrying into line to pay-to-play?

Giggling madly.
How many others heard this information as well? Stay tuned. In the meantime, even some who were hesitant are getting on board with the whole drain the swamp deal:
It's things like this that make me think maybe Trump getting elected won't be as bad as I thought. https://t.co/xFm6LyHDwv
