Ever notice how Democrats claim being from a school, a state, or having done business with a company in a country means you have direct ties to the government in that country, but only if you're a Republican.
But being invited to their home, sitting on the same board, sitting in their church for 20 years, selling our Uranium to them, taking $700k for a speech from them, or getting most of your cash and support from criminals and terrorists early in your political career doesn’t mean you have any ties to them if you're Obama or Hillary.
