The two biggest 2016 Presidential Election are “mini scandals” from both sides.

On the Republican side, Texas Governor Rick Perry was indicted on abuse of power charges.  Many on the right argue these are politically motivated. There’s even some on the left that wonder how strong of a legal base the indictment has

On the Democratic side, the big story is Clinton’s speaker fee at UNLV and the contract details of her travel requirements . There is outrage about both the fee and the travel lifestyle requirements.  Clinton has said the fee will be donated.

This blog’s goal is to inform the readers about all the news related to the 2016 Presidential Election.  I do my best to be as unbiased as possible and would ideally like to link to stories about each nominee’s vision for America.  When these “scandal” types of stories break, however, they are news and I will link to them.
