Long before the Republican presidential candidate became a presidential candidate or a Republican, Donald Trump had a working relationship with Al Sharpton, including doing favors for the racial activist and giving him thousands in donations.

“The Democrats and Moderate Republicans don’t want them. “

So you are admitting that Trump is a Democrat or Moderate Republican then.

Thank You.

Trump bought Sharpton. Big difference.

Anyone who pays Sharpton is buying Sharpton.

Nice try.

Any smart business man would have done the same to get Al to leave his business alone.

Seems like Trump PLAYED IT PERFECTLY - made his fortune by paying some lip service to Sharpton.

Virtually every large corporation pays tribute to Jesse Jackson...is it any different? Really?

What I shouldn’t have to tell you, is that he is hawking Conservative policy.

He is also capable of enduring withering fire. He shuts down media enemies and disruptors.

He tells it like it is with a loud voice.

He pulls people from across demographic lines.

You’re free to think anything you like about him or me.

What makes you think that Trump’s behavior will change when he gets into the White House? Past performance is aa good predictor of future performance.

ENDA, Kelo, “get over gay marriage”, Pamela Geller caused the Garland terror attacks.... “good parts” of PP, he would police the Iran deal not end it....

I’m still looking for anything actually conservative.

You mean, the Ted Cruz who voted for the Corker bill that stripped the treaty protection from the Iran arms bill? That allows Iran to develop its atomic weapons, its ICBMs, that allows Iran to inspect to see if it is violating the treaty, (although the Senate with Cruz decided not to handle it as a treaty, in order to fulfill the Obama agenda)?

Or the Ted Cruz who voted for TPA the first time, and when his vote was no longer needed, voted against it the second time?


Or the Ted Cruz who’s wife Heidi was a co-author on a Council on Foreign Relations paper that advocated dropping the borders and making a North American Union? Good NWO stuff...

Find one candidate that doesn’t have something in their past, or even things in the past. Won’t happen. At least Trump, warts and all, is willing to say what needs to be said and take it to the Libs, and the GOPe. Think of how boring and ho hum this campaign would be without him. And Cruz would not be doing any better. It would be Bush in a runaway. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes it’s through the most flawed people. Maybe he’s working through Trump to save our Republic....I know, that sounds counter-intuitive, but it is what it is.

It’s not going to work GeronL.

You can sling all the mud you want. He’s not hawking liberal policy.

There’s a list twenty lines long of things you and I have wanted done for decades. He’s hawking that.

He’s got my support.

Trump has more money than that under his sofa cushions.

LOL. You would say that. Five minutes he was a tough guy, now you're saying he was a raging wimp who can't stand up to a phony.

Is that what he would do as president? Submit to Putin, ISIS. Kim Jong-un? Submit to them and pay them money? Is that what he would do to Congress. Let's face it, he can't stand up to anyone but Rosie O'Donnell. Epic Fail.

Trump is intent on destroying the Republican Party, who is going to be running Congress but Trump’s pals Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.


No, the Republican Party did that all by themselves.
