Trump foes pounce on ‘secret tape’ with familiar-sounding contents
Washington Post ^ | 2/29/2016 | David Weigel

Posted on 02/29/2016 1:40:04 PM PST by TheThirdRuffian

Forty-eight hours ago, the campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and the super PACs that supported him had apparently found a cohesive, potent attack on Donald Trump -- that the mogul was a "con artist" who defrauded "the little guy."

Any attempt to cohere around an anti-Trump message is gone. For the past 24 hours, Rubio and surrogates have eviscerated Trump for a rambling non-response to a question about endorsements from white supremacists. And for just the last hour, Rubio allies and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) have demanded answers from Trump on BuzzFeed's report that the candidate had more immigration wiggle room than he'd admitted.

Citing "sources familiar with the recording and transcript" of Trump's candidate interview with the New York Times, BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith said that Trump had given the impression -- off the record -- that he was flexible on his pledge to deport every undocumented immigrant. Mass deportation, suggested one Times editor, might be Trump's opening bid in a negotiation, not his do-or-die policy.

As per other thread, much speculation here that can be resolved by simply releasing tapes.

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 717). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

It’s an easy one for Trump to quash. All he has to do is release the tape.

If he is consistent in private, then the story was a dirty trick.

It isn't the establishment posting these hysterical Trump smears on FR. It's Principled Conservative supporters of Ted Cruz.

If only Cruz had fought Barack Obama's TPA as hard as he is fighting Trump we wouldn't be on the brink of a massively destructive TPP.

Or maybe Ted Cruz is the establishment?

Trump and Cruz have their panties in such a twist that they have entered the phase of PMS. It must be something about the water they are drinking, according to The Donald.

Cruz and Rubio are finished. Look to Kasich to quit after he loses Ohio. But Ben Carson will stick with it as long as possible and then he will support Trump.Carson will be the next Surgeon General or the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Just more evidence here in these Trump smears that career politican and foremr Bush admin official Ted Cruz has gone home to the GOPe. Nothing principled or conservative about it, that’s for sure.

Johnnie, have you ever heard Fairport Convention’s cover of “Percy’s Song” by Dylan?

Let me get out the old gi-tar and give y’all a new verse:

Too late, too late,
For the GOPe,
Turn, turn, turn again.
Trump’s victory is assured
And cannot be repealed,
Turn, turn to the rain
And the wind.

Using Scripture to defend a guy who uses a Bible as a prop?
Heck Mafia guys do well too, doesn’t mean God has their back!

Man, when I heard references to "going full Mississippi," I wasn't sure what that meant. I'm really clear on it now.

Good grief, this is getting ridiculous.

We can only pray for such a united assault on Hillary when the time comes.

The tapes do not exist. If they did they would have already been leaked.

A bogus story released a day before elections.

To win, all you have to do is elect the guy that your enemies are trying relentlessly to destroy.

Go Trump!

Rubio, a member of the Foam Party, is attacking others?

You missed my point. Look at what has been actually happening. Who has escaped one sure-fire attack after another.

I use the Bible because it is the revealed word of YHWH that tells us what is going to happen in the real world.

Read Judges 13-16 to learn how YHWH uses less than perfect people to effect judgement on whom He wants to effect judgement.

GOP sucks indeed. But it’ll roll off the Donald, and it should roll off the patriots as well. We all have to grow a herculean spine just like Donald and start to fumigate the house and annihilate the little critters wherever they’re hiding.

I just heard little Rubio’s attack ad. Trump stole a woman’s house then threw her out the window on to some veterans who were too close to his casino.

Perhaps Trump isn’t what he seems.
