Trump Endorses McCain
Politico.com ^ | 9/18/2008 | Mike Allen

Donald Trump, the flamboyant New York magnate, said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday night that he is supporting Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president.

Trump, never shy with his opinions, went on to say that McCain appears to be winning, and that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should have chosen Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as his running mate.

“I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy,” Trump told King. “I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases. And Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically.”

Not as many as The Pope. But he does have a good following.

I’m praying the Rothschild endorsement will give a boost to McPal with some demonRATS. Do you know when she is coming out to endorse McCain?? I hope she doesn’t back out or get cold feet.

Well, having The Donald on our team is always good news

You bet! Trump is New York. This could be a big endorsement if NY ever comes into play.

So...what happened? I couldn't log on for hours

Same here. Wonder why someone at FR hasn't mentioned the problems over the last week or so? Is it a deliberate attack, a technical error, something else?

Trump donated to both Hillary and McCain. He’s puzzled Obama chose not to offer Hillary the VP slot.

This is a real surprise since The Donald seemed like such a lib and made rat noises constantly.

She already came out. There was a thread on FR about it. She gave an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox.

She’s not backing out. She appeared on Greta tonight and gave a definite, genuine and well reasoned endorsement of McCain.

Don’t know, but I asked my son who knows puters pretty good, said the hackers probably hacked the site by flooding it. I wonder if Jim is prepared for the unslaught of folk on Nov. 4th to FR. HELL IT BETTER NOT SHORT CIRCUT THAT DAY!! I’ll freak!

I don’t see a separate thread after all, only the original thread. Sorry!

I have been wondering if the RATS from DU or some other nefarious source are launching DOS attacks on FR?

Me too. It seems many in the dem party are having thoughts of bailing. I do not think that being an early bailer will hurt her this time.

She already went on Greta and endorsed him, and said she’d be spending the next 40-odd days campaigning for him. :)

Of course he will HAVE to. He can’t afford his nanny state otherwise.

Bush cut taxes but since he also increased spending, we have more debt. We traded one tax for another.
