Hey, did you receive your big invite to the really big Donald Trump “Victory” fundraiser? No?
It’s only $25,000 a seat.
It’s over in Rancho Santa Fe – Wednesday, July 13th – at some private homes, and it’s being chaired by Jenny Craig, Geniya and Papa Doug Manchester and other bigwigs apparently in the Trump column.
Well, if you didn’t – here it is – thanks to a leaked official invitation spread in the ether by Scott Lewis of Voice of San Diego.

You loser scumbags are NOT in. Go away already.
“Papa” Doug? Really? He actually puts that on an invitation to a fundraiser? What an idiot.
At this point we are unaware of anyone demonstrating at the entrance to RSF. If you know of such, please share.
How about a fundraiser where you put Papa over your knees and spank him!!!
Crazy times in politics
Reinforces my opinion that Papa Doug is only interested in Papa Doug and should never be trusted with any(more) of our City’s assets (i.e. SeaPort Village).
An esteemed city leader, according to some in our local political class, Mr. Manchester clearly does not use very good judgement given his support for the bigoted Donald Trump and his former and substantial efforts to prevent gay marriage becoming legal in CA. Gimme our trust back Doug.
He doesn’t have to give me any back, he never had any of mine.
