As Jeb Bush was campaigning to be governor of Florida, real estate mogul Donald Trump sought a meeting with one of Bush’s closest allies in the state legislature...
Trump wanted to discuss his plan to loosen Florida’s gambling restrictions so he could partner with an Indian tribe and open a casino in the state. He met twice with the lawmaker, then-soon-to-be state House Speaker John Thrasher, once for lunch at the 21 Club in New York and again at Trump’s extravagant Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago....

Apparently TWO LUNCHES discussing the possibility is a BIG PUSH for a casino? Really?
Trump has a couple of lunches and they pretend like he is heavily lobbying.....frankly, I believe Trump when be said "If I had wanted it, I would have gotten it."
Just another establishment attempt to make a couple of lunches a major lobbying effort.
Trump has a multi billion dollar reputation, if he says it i believe it. The others have no such morals, they answer with whatever politically suits their ambition.
The GOP Establishment - Doing the democrats’ dirty filthy work that real Americans won’t do
Big Deal.
Who Cares.
I want a wall on the southern border.
I don’t care if Trump had lunch with Jebbie back in 1555 and I don’t care that Trump didn’t defend oButtF* yesterday!
The casinos were built by Trump’s protege, Richard Fields on the Indian reservation. The natives later bought him out. Jeb is still owned by the donors and special interest groups - regardless of what happened way back when.
the others is a Preety Broad Brush doncha think?
Are you certain that one of those others Senator Ted Cruz R..Texas...belongs in that category?
Trump said something the other night that went over the heads of most.
He said that he would represent the people-it was during the bust up with Booosh.
All Trump would have to do is keep saying that and say that his DOJ will be very busy investigating and convicting the corrupt politicos in DC. Then tell the people he will create more jobs by building prisons to house those corrupt politicos his DOJ will throw in jail.
The attacks on Trump will be vicious and relentless. The intensity will increase. I hope he’s up to the task. If he wins, the world wins big.
JB sold out the Seminoles for the Disney special interests?
I disagree. Even if he is thinking of investigating the corrupt politicians - he doesn’t want to telegraph that to anyone. Sometimes you keep your cards close to your chest.
NOTHING infuriates the delusional like raw TRUTH. Trump has spoken it to a world overwhelmed with delusions. The more he speaks the TRUTH, the more it will whip the delusional into a frenzy of fury.
Cruz is an exception, for now. I would hate to see him turn face under pressure. As long as Trump is the ice breaker Cruz will be able to sail the open waters. On his own he cannot proceed very far. I just don’t see it. Best bet is to be VEEP, and hope to go higher after that. Trump builds his empire upon trysted advisors, Cruz would be excellant for that.
The MSM is so stupid. With all the problems we face, do they really think any of us Trump supporters care one-fig about whether or not Trump tried to open a casino in Fla? I certainly could care less and I suspect most feel the same. Another media fail!
It’s either Trump Cruz or Carson for me or I stay home and watch the country die and become a prepped lol. Seriously, The GOPe can go to hell and Carly is a fraud
Companies are still pushing to open casinos and break the Seminole/Miccosukee tribes stranglehold on legalized casinos in the state. Ongoing battle right now as the poker agreement has expired.
The Carly love is making me sick on TV. She is unelectable and will be destroyed
So do I, no reason for him to lie about this. He gets most everything he really wants. He got the P.O. in D.C. and from this administration......he gets the job done.

This for the win!
He did mention Trey Gowdy as Attorney General early on. That should bring fear to alot of Washington.
