You didn’t need to click on the link.

I helpfully posted the relevant text for you. Because you’re under the impression that there are actually two major opposing political parties in this country LOL.

Once more, for effect:

“During the great Mississippi Senate campaign of 2014, we discovered through Politico that Senator Thad Cochran was given a high-dollar fundraiser by lobbyists at the Podesta Group:

“PODESTA RAISES FOR COCHRAN: Downtowners are hosting a breakfast fundraiser for Sen.Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) at the offices of the Podesta Group. Podesta’s Peggy Binzel, Rebecca Edgar, Kimberley Fritts, Jim Dyer, Josh Holly, David Morgenstern, Randall Gerard, David Marin, Steve Northrup, Lauren Maddox, Elizabeth Morra, Missi Tessier, Sean McLaughlin, Stephen Rademaker, Mike Quaranta and Trey Hardin are all listed on the invite. The March 4 fundraiser will cost $2,000 for PACs and $1,000 for individuals.”

This particular entry was later pulled down by the folks at Politico, I’m guessing because of pressure from Cochran and his smear team, lest the people of Mississippi find out about it. Luckily we grabbed it before they did. Senator McDaniel called on the Cochran campaign to explain their relationship with the Podesta Group, but like Cochran’s other questionable relationships (yes many others), his camp remained silent about it. It seems he pretty much remained silent about everything during that campaign, even his own crappy record.”

Oh, and the more degrees a white person has, the more likely he was to vote Obama. So “book learning” is not a reliable guide to how intelligently someone votes.

I don't know who "you guys" are, but I didn't call Trump a racist.

You called me a racist when you called me a liar when I stated I was a latino who supported Trump. As for your numbers: How many of those vote? And you'll probably discover: the 30 percent on the dole, and the rest of the ***holes who add up 60 to 70 percent who voted Democrat the last few elections.

It’s not a conspiracy. It’s a business arrangement. Trump has very publicly said he helps the Clintons out in exchange for favors. He scratches their backs, they scratch his.

I think he is very smart to emphasize that LEGAL Hispanics also want jobs that are going to ILLEGAL Hispanics. If you were an Hispanic living in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood that is becoming overrun with illegals—how would you feel? Donald Trump gets it even though he is a rich guy. Donald Trump is practical and speaks to people about real things not airy fairy, pie-the-sky stuff that RINOs like to repeat over and over. They are talking to each other and their consultants and NOT THE PEOPLE.

Trump has announced to the world that he gives money to politicians — that is, he “buys” them — in return for future favors. So I guess it means he gave money to Chris Mc because he thought Chris could be bought? I think that if I were Chris, I’d be campaigning as hard as possible for Cruz, while making it clear that he would never give favors to a man like Trump.

He is going to mop the floor with Hillary Clinton and I would pay to watch it.

I am a woman, a mother and a grandmother and I am not offended by Trump. He is a bit rough around the edges but I always say better a diamond in the rough than a polished rhinestone. All that we have been getting in recent years are polished rhinestones with their carefully crafted campaigns.

Sounds like a pretty good analysis.

God bless Trump for bringing up immigration especially illegal immigration. I have known about illegal immigration since the 1990’s and have learned a lot more when I got my computer in the year 2000. When I got my computer in 2000, I started looking up “illegal immigration”. I found THOUSANDS of pages of information.

When Washington tried to pass an amnesty bill, I looked up the phone numbers of all the hundred senators and called every one of them up. The Washington insiders have betrayed us time and again. They let I/3 of the manufacturing jobs go to foreign countries then they let in millions of illegal aliens to do the jobs *Americans don’t want to do*.

The others are talking about illegal immigration because Donald Trump brought up Mexico and the crime that many illegal aliens bring with them. Guess what happened— fate proved him right, days after Trump’s comments Miss Seidle was murdered out in plain sight in San Francisco—a sanctuary city. I don’t think I ever heard anyone talk about sanctuary cities on television before but now millions of people are hearing about it for the first time.

I think that if it wasn’t for Donald Trump all the sneaky politicians would be doing their usual tap dance. Avoiding the topics they don’t want to talk about like America losing jobs to other countries and the destruction caused by illegal immigration. Three presidents, Clinton, W. Bush and Obama have given us the shaft on immigration. The next one would do the same and the legislature would continue pulling the wool over our eyes. They have been doing this for twenty years and they will not stop. They can just ignore us as long as they want until we take off the gloves and start fighting. I like Trump because he is a fighter.

It’s a given that he is a competitive, hard-driving businessman.
Why would he take this amount of time away from his business
interests to do a favor for the Clintons?

The more degrees a person has, the more left ideology he has been exposed to.

So why do you think Trump supported McDaniel? Because McDaniel is a Liberal?

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.

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

To quote Donald Trump: "I'm a business man....."

Oh, I’m sure there are some business opportunities the Clintons might be able to direct his way. Would you disagree?

If you want comment from me please try to post something worthy of a response. Your last post was incredibly stupid, even for you.

Unless it's Vietnam.

Well, I guess he fought going along with the draft.

“If you want comment from me please try to post something worthy of a response. Your last post was incredibly stupid, even for you.”

Well lets revisit my question to you:

“So why do you think Trump supported McDaniel? Because McDaniel is a Liberal?”

A fairly bright 8th grader should be able to formulate a cogent answer to a straightforward question such as the one I posed to you. I certainly could.

Since you are unable to do so I have to postulate that your cognitive abilities are so challenged as to render you unworthy of notice.

But I’m going to let you come back after class and give you another shot at it for a passing grade. :-)

The premise of the question was incredibly stupid, and not worthy a response.

Any bright sixth-grader could see that, which explains fully why it has escaped you.

The Republicans screwed the electorate wen we gave tem the House.

The REpublicans screwed the electorate when we gave them the senate.

If the Republicans win the presidency they will screw the electorate yet again and govern like Hillary.

The Republican donors give to Republicans and to Hillary. They hedge their bets, but somehow Trump is the problem.

I see no downside to voting for Trump because the Republicans will screw us and reneg on all their promises or Hillary will win. There will be no difference.
