Trump Gave $50k to McConnell to Defeat Tea Partier Bevin
The Pundit Press ^ | 1/17/2016 | Thomas

Posted on 01/17/2016 11:50:31 AM PST by therightliveswithus

Donald Trump has been trying to burnish his conservative credentials in his recent attacks on other Republican candidates. Despite his normal attacks on Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush, he has now taken to attacking Ted Cruz, calling him an "ultimate hypocrite" and implying that he is ineligible to run for the Presidency.

Now it is revealed that Trump attacked current Kentucky Governor and former Senate candidate Matt Bevin. Before Bevin's victory last November he attempted to unseat Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the 2014 Senate primary.

I’m just amazed at how you can nit pick one and let massive major big picture items go for the other. I can’t drop my IQ that low to be on equal footing.

What? “The Pundit Press” by “Thomas” isn’t good enough for you?

One has to wonder from whose basement all these stories are originating.

Funny how escalated the name calling and profanity has gotten, when a Trump supporter (oh, wait....what’s the rude name for us, again? lol) posts a link/proof...that they want to deny.

It’s really going to be an interesting season, isn’t it?

First, it is irrelevant because Trump gave money to McConnell and Cruz did not give money to Carly.

I figure one of Cruz’ PAC donors wanted to give Carly some money, and for whatever reason funnelled it through a PAC he had already given 15 million to.

Second: These are private citizens who made their money without declaring bankruptcy four times.....and they are not running for office.Trump has and is.

You’re all ears, and no brain.

did you do that missy? that’s not very nice. And it’s certainly not good decorum to say something to me (after accusing me of being a member of isis) about my tsk tsk language.

now, you wouldn’t be exercising a double standard, would you? kinda like donny does, calling people from Iowa idiots and then parading his faux outrage about NYC.

Trump will probably nominate his ultra liberal sister to the Supreme Court.

Mr. No Brain, surely you are smart enough to know that Trump’s four BUSINESS bankruptcies were Chapter 13 REORGANIZATIONS.

Not personal. Debts were not wiped out.

Second, I guess it is OK for the Cruz PAC to launder money to another candidate.

While technically there should be no co-ordination between a PAC and the candidate, it seems the Cruz PAC is not on the up and up if they can launder money to another candidate.

I would think your candidate would not be happy about that, as there is $500,000 that cannot be used for his campaign, but rather to one of his competitors.

At least with Trump, what you see is what you get.

Ted is not the saint you make him out to be.

As more of the facts pile on. It will be increasingly clear that Trump is not the friend of the conservative American.

See above post rebuttal where Cruz donated far more $$$ to that super pack than trump did AND Cruz did it AFTER Blevin announced... Not before. Trump did his $$$ BEFORE Blevin announced. I will not be sending Cruz any more $$$. Or Trump. Trump NEVER asked... And Cruz hasn’t stopped sending me dunning letters since before his official announcement... When I first supported him.
No more... Though I would support him as the nominee against any democrat.

Right. It’s Chapter 11, not 13.

Okay, let me be the first to say it.

FUDT!

A little late. I have been saying it since Trump heaved the knife into Cruz' back.
