Upon recommendation of a fellow freeper "Beautiful_Gracious_Skies I'm posting this article from Chicago Tribune on Sheldon Adelson and his endorsement of nominee Donald Trump for the President of The United States and it has also been reported he's willing to tip 100mill$ to see Mr. Trump through.

Maybe. Another way of looking at it is that Adelson believes that with Trump as President, things will get better for everyone, including Adelson.

GREAT he supports Trump, but is prominently announcing it GOOD for Trump..?

It’s not the smart play.

Sorry..! (but not really)

People WANT the wall and will worry about it.

This does NOT help.

One wonders what (if any) the mention of Newt as a possible VP had to do with this announcement. After all, seem to remember his backing Newt when he ran for the office.

For nearly eight years, Republicans have fought tooth and nail against President Barack Obama and his policies.

I must have missed that. I almost thought they were rooting for Obama.

I agree with his argument that the alternative is 1000 times worse.

Do a little background research, engage the brain, and see if there isn't a more relevant quip .....
