Black Pastors Expected to Endorse Donald Trump (some new info)
nytimes.com ^ | Alan Rappeport

Posted on 11/25/2015 3:00:54 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Darrell Scott, the pastor of the New Spirit Revival Center in Ohio, helped organize the coalition of religious leaders and said that after meeting Mr. Trump in person he was convinced that Mr. Trump was the candidate best suited to be president. He also said that the public portrayals of Mr. Trump as a racist and demagogue seemed unfounded after they spoke.

"I was looking for some subtle hints of racism," Mr. Scott said. "I didn't see it at all."

Mr. Scott, who said he was a registered Democrat who had voted for President Obama, said that he had been impressed by Mr. Trump as a leader and that he liked his ideas for improving the economy. He said that when he closed his eyes and listened to all the candidates, he found Mr. Trump to be the most appealing.

Mr. Trump has struggled to connect with some social conservatives because of his flashy lifestyle and the fact that he has held liberal views on some issues. But Mr. Scott said that he found Mr. Trump to be humble before God when they prayed together and that he had confidence in his faith.

Just look at his kids. The daughters are lovely, gracious, down to earth. The sons are ramrod straight arrow men. All of them like to reminisce of their growing up with Dad making them WORK for everything. The daughter Tiffany is now studying at Penn at the Wharton School IIRC. Very impressive in the real world.

Nope. It is perfectly legal to donate to any politician at any time, within limits imposed by the law.

If one is strictly operating as a businessman, and if one wants to grow his business, it is not smart to donate to only one stripe of politicians.

But as I explained in a previous post, if one is an elected republican holding office, then it should raise eyebrows if one donates to democrats.

Trump was never a RNC official, an elected republican or a party hack. Until 5 months ago, he was strictly a businessman in the multi-Billion dollar class.

If Trump is found to have donated to democrats AFTER declaring run for political office as republican, that would certainly be un-ethical.

It seems your puritanical test is misplaced.

Ha!!

One thing to give bribes...but another to hang out with them.

The thing is....I think Bill Clinton might be fun to have a beer with.

but I voted for the RAT BASTARD.

Tells me all I need to know right there. Hope you're happy supporting the hildabeast, because if it ain't Trump/Cruz 2016, us real Americans will either vote 3rd party or sit it out. Your call...well, you and the rest of the GOPe. But you fail to grasp one thing: The GOP is dead. It's only hope for revival - back to what it was meant to be - is Trump/Cruz 2016. None of the others, Romulan included, will do it.

I hope that Trump has the families of those men who were butchered in Benghazi organized and standing by. We’ll need a Swiftboat type of event before election day — a media blitz — to get the word out re PIAPS.

Of course, these people should be in some kind of witness protection program until then, ‘cause they easily could be butchered themselves. We know how the Clintons work.

Here's another thing....you wrote on you home page...this

Americans DO NOT WANT freedom or liberty, because Americans DO NOT WANT the responsibility that comes with it.

What does that mean TO YOU!!

I take FULL responsibility!!! And want the VERY BEST for MY FAMILY and MY COUNTRY!! For me to come on this tread and say what I said...is the honest TRUTH!!

I'm on FReeper's side here...but I've a different opinion.

I'm done here...

Honor student heading to law school after graduation. Aunt Mary Ann Berry’s influence no doubt. Since she is a friend and past colleague of Sam Alito expect Tiffany to clerk for him. Unless she purely wants to stay in real estate law

I think Trump is not racist, but he is prejudiced.

He is prejudiced against Lazy, Stoopid Criminals.

Are YOU personally worth 10 Billion dollars?

Do you have a world wide corporation?

Do YOU live in/do work in other heavily Dem cities that have unbelievable regulations?

I can see you are a businessman.

Well. No, I can see you read novels about business.

Keep driving, Mac...that's where you'll end up.

But before you take this as an insult. Be advised that I have friends that are drivers and they are bright and well-informed.

You might not be a driver...but it would be a step up.

Well now, you and Bill will have to go alone - Trump doesn’t drink. However, Cruz partakes, so he might want to go along.
