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.

So why should we trust Al won’t shake him down if he was President?

On the one hand we don’t like Sharpton.

Frankly I can’t see why he isn’t arrested for extortion.

He and Jessie Jackson get away with this.

Trump has a large business exposure. He doesn’t want waves.

He donates to Al. I don’t like it.

It’s reality. Does this mean Trump should never be president?

For some it will.

For me it won’t.

There isn’t another candidate that can express his desires better than Trump. He’s pushing decent policy. I want that policy advanced. I don’t want some GOPe type to get the nod this year.

I want someone who will take the Left to the cleaners.

Those who don’t like Trump are failing to grasp what is going on here.

Our nation is about 4 years away from $24 trillion in debt.

I’ll take the imperfect guy that says he can stop that. None of the others could, because they can’t buffalo Congress and the press.

Buckle up folks. It’s going to get rough, and those who get car sick better sit this one out.

Just sit on the sidelines and whine. We’ll pick you up at the end of the Trump presidency.

I thought that too and was so hopeful because i am naive and thought that blacks could think independently and not like the Borg.

Most recent polls show Trump with 80ish percent disapproval from Blacks.

They just dont change.

I’m a sucker.

This election is all about immigration, if we do not win, it is all over.

And this is why I'm willing to give Trump a pass on all the other crap they're going to dig up about him.

Will the real conservative constitutionalist Ted Cruz now stand up and take on the mantle?

Didn't Cruz vote for TPA and also the corker bill? Is that your definition of a conservative constitutionalists?

yes thats an oh OH OH NO

Know what? The old "politics of personal destruction" won't work anymore. The Dumbocraps have used it for years, and now the GOPe is trying it against Trump.

Sorry, we're all full up on crazy, go sell it somewhere else..

Oh! Lordy! Lordy!

Aren’t the Bush-rightists media EVER SO EAGER to reveal ANYTHING that might disparage even the slightly bit of Trump’s background .....

But when Hillary commits multiple felonies?

BUSH DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING - HE PROMOTES HER AND GIVES HER A MEDAL......

Funny how we’re told that Trump’s got the huevos to stand up to all of these foreign dictators, the Democrats, the U.N., etc., and yet he’s apparently too big a puss to say no to Sharpton or “stand up” to a political shakedown.

Trump supporters Diamond and Silk would agree with you. The Donald is a great guy. They're still on the stump for Trump. http://webesisters.com

He did.... but he felt really really tricked about it, so he gets a pass here and continues to be considered 100% Pure Conservative (TM). He’s no globalist!

That vote is a more damaging action than anything DT has done in his entire life.
