				Craigslist ads to hire Trump protesters?
			 
 It's being reported that some Trump protesters are hired help, responding to craigslist ads.
 Hiring staff to stuff mailers, make calls on you behalf?  Great!
 
 Hiring people to scream at Trump rallies?  Not so much.
 
 Ugly business.

Snopes ...In all, Mr. Soros gave at least $33 million in one year to support already-established groups that emboldened the grass-roots, on-the-ground activists in Ferguson, according to the most recent tax filings of his nonprofit Open Society Foundations. 
 
The financial tether from Mr. Soros to the activist groups gave rise to a combustible protest movement that transformed a one-day criminal event in Missouri into a 24-hour-a-day national cause celebre. 
 
Soros-sponsored organizations helped mobilize protests in Ferguson, building grass-roots coalitions on the ground backed by a nationwide online and social media campaign. 
 
Other Soros-funded groups made it their job to remotely monitor and exploit anything related to the incident that they could portray as a conservative misstep, and to develop academic research and editorials to disseminate to the news media to keep the story alive.
 
They go on to qualify that by saying there is no proof that Soros had any direct involvement ..  
But of course he did

 |  How can there be a federal stipend if all money exits the political stage?  How can there be air time on TV if there is no money to pay for it?  How can the number of people participating in the boring debate be limited rather than unlimited if there is no financial backing necessary to be part of the debate? |

 |  Seems the truth is what one thinks it is .. not what it really is 
 
Todays truth are  conspiracies  the OP is the example of this 
 
a :  the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality ...
 
 Many from the political fringe  dont care about fact or reality  hence the truth is in the middle where their is less noise more facts and reality and hopefully a better picture of the truth. emerges .
 
I am sorry that my nuance approach to outline truth in politics has caused you a headache
  
 Still Not sure if you were telling the truth about  you comment  about TRUTH as a black and white definition?  or maybe it was more  about Hillary ... |

seems to me the "middle" is most often wherever one finds themselves standing and any given moment....it's lonely because in a world of shades of gray and shifting sands... standing on one's "middle" and "truth"(pedestal)...... excludes most everyone else...not a lotta room up there   |

I thought what I said  was straight forward..   showing both sides of the same coin.   not sure why my statement needs to be validated by naming names 
 
By the way you still think   Trump Protesters Recruited on Craigslist? |

 |  CNN had 2 folks on last night who cli thy were paid to protest inside a Trump rally.  We know for a fact when the Tea Party started, liberals were pretending to be Tea Partiers, holding racist signs, to make the Tea Party appear racist.  This is what they do, Spence.  The don't like free speech being practiced by people on my side. |
