More on Pay to Play

The Washington Post is "in the tank" for Hillary Clinton, hence the extra impact of Chris Cillizza's reaction to the Associated Press reveal of her apparent selling access to the State Department. All caps in the following are Cillizza's.
COME ON, MAN. It is literally impossible to look at those two paragraphs and not raise your eyebrows. Half of all of the nongovernmental people Clinton either met with or spoke to on the phone during her four years at the State Department were donors to the Clinton Foundation! HALF.

It just plain looks bad. Really bad.

If you are Donald Trump -- or any Republican -- trying to sell the idea that the Clintons are and always have operated on a "pay to play" model, you just got a gift more amazing than you could have ever hoped to get.
The AP just handed Trump the ball, let's hope he doesn't fumble this opportunity to score.
