Does anyone ever take those cash in, muckraking books as anything but a claptrap suitcase full of lies, pisspoor reasoning, and "i'm just asking the question" type hypotheses?
Politicians on the right? Chuck Todd, Most of the staff of Politico?
tbf Politico probably knows it's complete bullshit, they just don't care.
All they care about is covering the horse race.

Politico's attitude, which is the same attitude of most of the media, is pretty much the reason why President Trump is an actual possibility. So, that's more awful.
Hey, did you folks know that Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, put out a plan today so that he'd have something to point to whenever people asked him about Trump and he desperately wanted to change the subject?
Yes, me neither. It wasn't anything big, like what they plan to replace Obamacare with if they can repeal it...oh, wait, that's exactly what it was.
This makes the sit in that is sucking all the oxygen out of the newscycle that much sweeter.

especially since Ryan turned off the camera feed of the sit-in in an attempt to stop CSPAN from reporting on it. they simply broadcast the periscope and facebook live feeds from the floor instead.

The plan, revealed Wednesday, relies on individual tax credits to allow people to buy coverage from private insurers, and includes other largely familiar GOP ideas such as medical liability reform and expanding access to health savings accounts. It proposes putting $25 billion behind high-risk pools for people with pre-existing conditions and for others, and transforming the federal-state Medicaid program for the poor by turning it into state block grants or individual per-capita allotments to hold down spending.
But the 37-page white paper falls far short of a full-scale replacement proposal for "Obamacare" and leaves key questions unanswered, including the size of the tax credits, the overall price tag of the plan, and how many people would be covered.
[...]
The proposal represents one of the most comprehensive efforts to date. Details also include various ideas aimed at shoring up the Medicare health insurance program for seniors, including gradually increasing the retirement age and ultimately giving beneficiaries a choice of private plans to choose from in competition with the existing fee-for-service model.
So a combination of the usual GOP bullshit and the usual Paul Ryan "try not to notice that my plan has a giant asterisk for which there exists no footnote" bullshit. Lovely.
In one case, Trump workers blocked in the cottage belonging to Susie and John Munro, constructing a two-story-high hill in their front yard and then adding a fence and locked gate, the couple said. Whenever it rains, they say, their yard fills with water and their steep dirt road turns into a mudslide.
During a dispute over property lines, workers ripped out a fence near the home of David and Moira Milne, who live in a converted coast-guard station on a hill above the golf course. The Trump workers installed their own fence — and then sent the Milnes a bill for it.
...
Trump’s workers also planted a row of trees that blocked the Milnes’ view of the sea. When the first batch died, the workers ripped them out and planted a second.
According to reports filed with the British government, Trump said the Aberdeen course has lost more than 4.71 million pounds since 2012 — the equivalent of $6.9 million at current exchange rates. British authorities were told that the course lost 1.14 million pounds, or about $1.67 million, in 2014 alone.
Yet in a July 2015 disclosure filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump valued Aberdeen at “over $50 million” and put his income from the course at $4.2 million between mid-2014 and the end of 2015.
A similar pattern holds for records filed for his Turnberry golf resort on Scotland’s west coast, which he will also visit this week, and at a third Trump course in Ireland’s County Clare — millions in losses reported in overseas records, millions in profits reported on U.S. forms.
Trump told Bloomberg News, which first reported on the gap between the reports, that the amounts he listed on his U.S. filings were “projected future income.”
Trump’s son Eric, who takes the lead in golf course developments, said in an interview that the U.S. disclosure forms report gross revenue, not net income. He also said the British and Irish courses are losing money only because the Trump Organization is spending aggressively to turn them into leading international resorts.
I have no clue what Trump is doing there other than spending time to hype up his business instead of anything useful.

Donald Trump has a long and complicated history with his family's homeland, Scotland. A few years ago he razed a huge plot of natural land to build his golf course "Trump International Golf Links", displacing longtime residents by using Scotland's version of eminent domain. These residents did not go down without a fight, as shown in the excellent documentary called "You've Been Trumped."
As a form of silent protest, residents of Menie Estate, north of Aberdeen, have erected numerous Mexican Flags as a sign of unity Buzzfeed reports..
David Milne, a long time resident of the Aberdeen area, says:
“The point of the flag is to show solidarity with the Mexicans and every other group that Trump has decried, derided, insulted, and tried to marginalise”
I don't know why Trump is going to Scotland. Reading about what he did there with his developments a while back, it didn't seem like he would receive a warm reception.
Here's a thing, Marco Rubio will run for his Senate seat.
Also says funny thing.
If Trump is elected, he said, "we will need Senators willing to encourage him in the right direction, and if necessary, stand up to him. I've proven a willingness to do both."

It was suggested to specifically make money off reporters flying on his campaign plane and staying at his hotels. And honestly I'd fucking believe that.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/hillary-bill-clinton-secret-service-224578
The House is in recess. According to the rules the cameras are off when the House is in recess. Ryan didn't turn them off. The House owns and runs the cameras and they are following the rules.
Even still this sit in is a pretty great piece of political drama. And will be a damn good piece for the election.
So a combination of the usual GOP bullshit and the usual Paul Ryan "try not to notice that my plan has a giant asterisk for which there exists no footnote" bullshit. Lovely.
Also if the House is in recess we need to somehow force the Senate out of session so we can recess appoint Garland.
