LET THE MUDSLINGING BEGIN – AT 10:18 A.M. ET:   The Dems are organizing to fight Donald Trump, and they will go all out.  As readers know, I've not supported Trump, but you may be certain that the battle against him will be ugly, personal, and probably filled with fabrications.  From the New York Daily News: 

WASHINGTON — A Democratic group is trolling for anti-Donald Trump stories — and trolling the presumptive Republican nominee — with a new website called DonaldTrumpScrewedMe.com.

Real class.

American Bridge, a Democratic outside group whose head has ties to Hillary Clinton, is launching the new website aimed at getting some nasty facts on The Donald. The website is geo-targeted so if you're in or near one of Trump's many properties, it will pop up in your Google ads.

"Were you one of Donald Trump's victimized employees? Do you know of illegal or inappropriate behavior at one of Trump's businesses or construction sites?" the website asks. "If you have been personally screwed by Donald Trump, or have a friend or relative who has been taken advantage of by Trump, we want to hear from you!"

The digital ads will target Trump's properties in Manhattan, Atlantic City, and Palm Beach to seek information from current and former employees and tenants, as well as "people who were scammed by Trump's various business ventures," according to the group.

COMMENT:  I'll suspect they'll come up with a lot.  Trump is a rough, tough businessman surrounded by a protective squad of lawyers.   He has made enemies.

But there are dangers to the Democrats in a campaign like this.  The first is that it depends on claims that are probably not easily verified.  If Trump can prove one or two of the claims false, the campaign collapses.

The second is that Trump has also made many friends.  People have had wonderful careers in his company.  They'll be called upon to give testimony to his qualities as an employer, and creator of jobs, and that can neutralize the Democratic campaign.
