http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/trumps-son-in-law-already-working-to-set-up-trump-tv-ahead-of-looming-election-defeat-report/
In an ideal world, Donald Trump would simply disappear after losing in November but we dont live in that world.
Instead, he will very likely start up his own cable news channel, and the Financial Times reports that Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner has already started informal talks to get the network off the ground.
Specifically, the publication reports that Kushner has already contacted Aryeh Bourkoff, the founder and chief executive of LionTree, a boutique investment bank, within the past couple of months. LionTree, the Financial Times notes, is well known for advising cable television and other media deals.
Although a Trump-led cable news network definitely has the potential to get ratings, the Financial Times says that cable companies might not be enthusiastic about taking on yet another news station, especially at a time when more people are cutting the cord and watching shows online.

I thought for sure that the 4 women before and at the debate had to be a Bannon stunt, but I read that it was Kushner's idea.

Charles Kushner (born May 16, 1954) is an American real estate developer, political fundraiser and philanthropist. In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.

Tax evasion and witness tampering
In 2005, following an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey,[19] Kushner was convicted of making illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering by attempting to silence his sister and brother-in-law by creating a sex tape of his brother-in-law with a prostitute.[20] Chris Christie, then the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, negotiated a plea agreement with him and he was sentenced to two years in prison.[1][21][22] He has since been released.

He seems to fit in perfectly with the Trump family pattern of business - except Donald probably thinks Charles is a loser because he was caught and convicted.

insane level of stupidity and hatred! Don't these losers ever burn out on it? It must be exhausting to live that way all the time.
