CLEAR LAKE, Iowa - Donald Trump, the billionaire who until now hasn't had to spend much of his own money to run for president, has made the influence of money in politics a theme of his campaign. He has suggested his Republican rivals are "puppets" for seeking the support of GOP donors like the Koch brothers. And he has defended his own contributions to both Republican and Democratic politicians as the cost of doing business in a world in which officeholders can be bought and paid for.
Here in Iowa Saturday, Trump made his most blunt condemnation yet of what he says is the corrupting influence of money in politics. As a businessman, Trump explained, "I've got to give to them, because when I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass." And that includes, he said, the Republicans who are running against Trump in the GOP presidential race.
"These politicians, they're so bad," Trump told a full house at the historic Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake:
You know, it's interesting. I was looking at the ones I'm running against. I've contributed to most of them - can you believe it? I've contributed to most of them. And one of them said, No, I don't think you've contributed to me. They found out I did. I contribute to everybody. I've given to Democrats. I've given to Hillary. I've given to everybody, because that was my job. I've got to give to them. because when I want something I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass. It's true. They kiss my ass. It's true.
LOL...your own guy is intimating he would go door to door to round up and deport illegals (which I support btw to set an example that we have to will) and you tell me he is for amnesty....the guy who wants to build a "big beautiful wall" to keep them out?
Cruz didn't say that Trump would do random searches. That was a MSM headline writer who wrote that.
Trump was flat out asked on ~July 24th what he would do with the "11 million here". Trump only answered that he would deport the criminals, and the others, he would try to work something out based on merit.
Then on ~July 27th, Trump finally said that he would deport them all. But he also said he wanted to expedite them back, and then maybe later, he would consider citizenship.
Is it because you are irrational and can't discuss issues without getting in a hissy fit?
LOL. You said I was posting BS so I responded in kind to you and you didn't like that.
Anyway, my list of things Trump wants that the establishment also wants, stands.
If you like elitist globalists then Cruz is your candidate. Want a elitist globalist NWO vote Cruz, want a constitutional republic vote Trump, want a Marxist utopia Vote Hillary.
So a) you are mathematically impaired enough to think a non-vote functions the same as a vote and
b) so limited that you attribute rejection of Trump to petty, small, stupid spite, which is a low insult on my character whether you recognize it or not.
That's all your post reveals.
Let me se if I get this straight.
You don’t like the direction the country is going because, by Trumps own account, the politicians are doing his bidding so you want to send Trump to the WH so he can do more of the same.
Got it.
He said he would work with Congress to achieve his legislative agenda, including repeal of Obamacare. That means he canât literally repeal the overhaul on âday one,â though he is making it his top priority.Cruz dismisses Trumpâs âpolice stateâ plan on deportationsâI intend to follow the law,â Mr. Cruz said.
He said the law is also clear on illegal immigration â it is illegal â and that he would deport unlawful residents through regular law enforcement channels and e-verify, a system that allows businesses to determine if their employers are eligible to work in the U.S.
He said his plan does not include Mr. Trumpâs call to go âdoor to doorâ to root out illegal immigrants for deportation. âWe donât live in a police state,â he said.
You are disingenuous and post BS.
You are a great spin artist, work for Rove do you?
Another dead ender spotted. The TDS is strong in this one.
I wonder how many points Trump will go up after that statement????
One points out the truth about their candidate to some Trump supporters and the above response is what you get.
Beyond that go back and format your last response. It's unreadable.
And again, as I pointed out, Trump wants a lot of what the political class wants. A legalization amnesty. Maybe a citizenship amnesty later. Affirmative action. Big Government Bank and Auto Bailouts. Obama's Stimulus. Universal Healthcare. I could go on.
I wonder if someone willing to buy politicians would be inclined to buy voters by saying what they want to hear...
Spin?
Trumps own word. He owns them and they do what he says.
You got a problem with the way the country is headed, look no further than Trump.
I'm done with you, have a good night.
Congratulations, idiotic post of the year....so far.
Probably a fair amount with the pro-wrestling crowd.
So now Trump is lying about owning politicians and having them do his bidding.
So, you're voting for Trump now?
We are down the rabbit hole.
Yeah, politicians have been doing Trumps bidding for the last 100 years or so.
Everything that is wrong with this country is done by Trump's bidding, guess you put him up there with Soros.
I guess in the Trumpsters minds since Trump has done a 180 on everything in less than a year, the New an Improved Trump is no longer responsible for what the old Trump did.
No, why do you ask?
