Donald Trump has admitted that he likes to 'augment truth'; actually I say a basic (strategic) trait of his personality. This is the case of any politician, even more so on the campaign trail. So we can not take for granted all that was reported and out of context most of the time to help media boost their own ratings. 
As for Conrad 'hasbeen' Black he can posture all he wants he is a non factor. And a bunch of old Republicans tooting their own horns is not impressive either. I think this guy ows to very few people so we will have to wait and see to find out how he really sets up. I came to this conclusion when I finally could find his speech of Tuesday night. It seemed to me that his supporters were stunned by what they heard, ready that they were to chant 'lock her up', while he actually praised Sec. Clinton.
