Campaign Rewind: Donald Trump Supported Chris McDaniel Against Thad Cochran
Mississippi Conservative Daily ^ | August 6, 2015

Posted on 08/08/2015 12:33:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

With the big Fox News debate tonight, and as we begin to pick our favored candidates for the upcoming presidential campaign, it is noteworthy to point out that, as we announced yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz will be coming to Mississippi next week to campaign and Senator McDaniel will be with him, and that Donald Trump threw his support behind Senator McDaniel last year against Thad Cochran.

He's a major Clinton donor - and he was very clear about his motives: if you do the Clintons favors, they will do favors for you.

His strategy is clear to anyone capable of stepping back and assessing the chessboard.

His job, which he is doing well, is to alienate Hispanics and women from the GOP.

This helps a weak Hillary Clinton in the general election.

He divides the base: some conservatives see a purveyor of red meat on some key issues, others realize he is a lifelong flipflopper who will say anything to get the reaction he wants.

That helps weaken the eventual GOP nominee.

He will run third party if the GOP nominee looks like he has a chance of beating Clinton: he's given himself an out, saying he will support the nominee if the GOP treats him "fairly." There's an exception you could drive a convoy of trucks through. This is a guy who will sue anyone at the drop of a hat - the only way to treat Trump in a way he considers "fair" is to fawn over him and give him whatever he asks for.

So he will run third party if the Clintons need him to.

Mark my words.

“So he will run third party if the Clintons need him to.”

The only people who care about him running 3rd party are conservatives.

The RNC is perfectly happy with a dim president and congress.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, if it wasn't for Trump, all those Hispanics-- with nary a high school diploma in sight-- will be rushing into the arms of the Republicans. Now they're all going to vote for the biggest welfare check! Damn that Donald Trump! /s

This country needs a third party anyways.

No one wants Bush, Rubio , Walker , Kaicsh or any of the owned puppets of the RNC - Chamber of Crony capitalist crowd.

I think Trump could beat both Hillary and one of the KStreet puppets anyways.
He has the name recognition and identified as the DC outsider which the whole country is demanding.
Newsflash The GOP owned by K street and run like a anti conservative swat team by Walker's boy Prebius . We are the enemy to them.

Trump scared them and stopped them from ramming thru Amnesty in July
which was Boneheads - Ryan -Mitchy - The RNC game plan before Trump arrived on the Scence.

Well, except for the Cochran/McDaniel race.

Listen to the campaign call from the Cochran camp about how they’ll work WITH Obama:

Have to say that’s one campaign promise Cochran’s kept so far.

You need to get your facts straight.

US Latino HS dropout rates have halved over the past decade and are now less than 14%.

US Latino college enrollment has increased by almost 50% in the same timeframe.

They also have the highest rate of working full time/attending college part time of any group.

Wander outside your mom's basement sometime.

No third party has ever won an election.

And no, the GOP was never a third party.

We do not have a parliamentary system, third parties are structurally doomed to failure.

They are just vehicles for separating gullible donors from their money.

I wasn’t defending Cochran, I was pointing out the irrelevance of Trump’s endorsement, the same Trump who endorsed the man who openly waged war on the TEA Party, Mitch McConnell.

I’m not trashing Trump. I am just pointing out that he is not a conservative. He has a history and stating it is not “trashing”.

If he doesn’t support free speech for Pamela Geller’s event, then people should know that.

Oh goodie, less than 14 percent (of LEGALS), and 60 percent will still be voting Democrat dummy.

Ironically, Trump might actually do better with Hispanics than Compassionate Conservative George W. Bush.

By the way, I'm Latino.

Your questions are all in the same rhetorical form as "when did you stop beating your wife?"

I've been here a decade longer than you have - how old are you?
