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.

Well, you are. You are also a big baby going around tag-teaming your Cruz friends. What a man you are.

Trump donated money to a Republican. Oh the scandal of it all. I predict that as soon as the other republican voters hear about this Trump’s poll numbers will plumet. LOL!

I’ve seen you on FR for quite some time. And during all these years, we’ve all be completely against the establishment and wanted a solid conservative to win when they ran against the GOPe.

Yet, here you are sweeping away the truth of what happened and justifying Trump’s actions that if you were honest with yourself you’d admit is flat out wrong.

Anyone supporting the establishment HAS BEEN the enemy of FR.

I’m bloody sick of them. They’ve taken over FR. You can’t get any news beyond Trump is the Devil posts. What a waste of time.

Well, some Freepers still live by their conservative principles and actually support conservatives candidates ...which Trump obviously isn't .

I mean this site is according to the owner is: ' The Premier Conservative Site on the Net! '

For a while it was Trump is the Greatest thing since sliced bread where almost every post was a Trump thread and anything negative said about him, the Trumpsters acted like you kicked their puppy.

It is pretty sad to see this place turn into a three ring circus...pimping a populist and trying to destroy an actual conservative like Cruz.

You are getting yourself too worked up about all this. In about 90 days when it becomes obvious that Trump is going to be the nominee everybody including you will hop on the Trump train just like we all did for Mitt.

Truthfully I was hot for Cruz until he started voting the wrong way. So I don’t think Ted is as much of a maverick as he would like you to think.

I’m looking for somebody who is results oriented. That’s Trump. He’s a natural born problem solver and we desperately need one.

Actually it’s misinformation. I live across the river from Northern Kentucky. Bevins didn’t even enter the race until late July 2013. Trump’s donation was in may 2013. He wasn’t donating “against bevins.”

To popman’s point, your damn right I’m worked up. Watching a solid conservative site turn into huffington post is a pathetic disappointment.

Trump is Romney on steroids; he will sell us out and I’ve vowed to NEVER support another sellout.

So, you disagree with the Opinion stated in the first Paragraph of my Post.

Do you disagree with the rest?

And I`ve been asking for some time. As they say, 'It takes two to tango.' and the reason the government doesn`t give a flying crap about what we say is they`re already bought and paid for.

Well the corrupt politicians are doing the selling, who the hell is doing the buying, Roswell Greys? Hell no people, this isn`t rocket science! The corrupt multinational corporations and super rich business people are, that`s who!

So, we are to believe a guy that brags about buying off politicians, for years, all the while standing on that side of the uni-party corruption fence, will suddenly change his ways when he gets put on the other side of the grifter fence? Yeah, right! I was born at night, but not last night.

If you Trumpers expect hard core Conservatives to believe that one, then you are not Conservatives. And besides, NO MORE LESSER OF TWO EVILS!

And his Tweet against Bevin? And what about the $10,000 he donated to Mitch’s PAC in 2014? Or the $50,000 he gave to Rove’s American Crossroads PAC?

Kentuckians for Strong Leadership and American Crossroads are both anti-Tea Party PACs.
