Very encouraging, for both of them.
That was Sharon Angle. The tea party candidate who lost to Harry Reid in 2010.
Trump is wooing Tea Party groups in Nashville. One is those is Sharon Angle’s Tea Party PAC. I wish Trump endorsed and donated to Sharon Angle in 2010. Trump Casinos gave money to Harry Reid in 2010. Guess Trump owns Harry Reid.
He is so energetic and just one of us....
Go Trump!!!!! 2016
I know!!!
Can't remember doing that for any other candidate, ever. Usually I watch the nominating speeches at the conventions and that's about it.
I think the reason is that you never know what Trump is going to say. He doesn't use a script or a teleprompter so even though he might tell the same story, he always tells it a different way. He can also be much more topical in his speeches. For instance, today, he was talking about the event up in Massachusetts yesterday and about things that happened earlier that morning.
It's like a Grateful Dead concert. No song is ever played twice the same way.
I disagree on the Angle part. She was a huge loser, and I was warning folks back then that she was the only GOP candidate that would blow it against Dingy Harry (and Harry knew it, which was why he wanted her as his opponent). Donating any money to her would’ve been like flushing it down the toilet or giving it straight to Reid himself.
yes, angle was a dream foe for reid. i preferred lowden. but does that excuse trump casinos from donating to reid? conservatives raised hell when the nra pondered endorsing reid over angle. the nra stayed neutral. i don’t watch ufc anymore due to dana white being a reid endorser.
Unfortunately, that’s how the game is played. They have to grease the palms of the then-Majority Leader, otherwise he’ll make trouble for them. Trump himself knows how that goes. It would be nice if he can smash that game to bits once he becomes President. A lot of bad people stand to lose their livelihoods once he lowers the boom. It’s why we see the epic-level mass hysteria from the Dems and the GOP establishment towards him.
I think Yongin meant give to Angle in the general election.
As for “the game”, that’s an excuse you wouldn’t make for a candidate you didn’t like. F anyone who gave a single penny to Reid. Giving money to democrats is philosophically inconsistent with Trump’s current schtick, has he apologized?
I know someone who had to give $$ to the coffers of local Democrats who had a business. He despised them with a passion. I asked why he didn’t just refuse, and the answer was that they’d have run him out of business if he didn’t pony up. I have no doubt that if they’d decided to stiff that $hitball Reid, he’d have made sure they’d have had a ton of trouble in whatever way possible (including labor).
There’s a big difference between some giving freely vs. ones that have to protect their business. The question is whether you blame the person running the protection racket or the person that has to pay ?
There’s a big difference between your friend Joe Schome and a billionaire. Trump could have spent millions to oust Reid, either at the ballot box or with a hit man, if he had so desired, rather than pay him off. Has he apologized?
The question is how big his involvement was there in 2010. If he got a look at the field (and let’s face it, it was all second-tier), he might’ve decided it wasn’t worth wasting money on. Would you have dumped $$ into Angle’s candidacy ? If I was working for Trump, I’d have told him not to spend one red cent on her, because she was a proven loser. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.
If I was wealthy yes, I would have given money to Angle in the general election, especially if Reid was a potential threat to my business.
I thought from the start “this b is likely to blow it” but at no point did I write off her chances, that race wasn’t Akin/McCrapskull.
As for the primary field, Reid was unpopular and it took Angle blowing it for him to win reelection and we knew from the start he was extremely vulnerable, so I’d have backed Lowden or Tarkanian to the hilt if I had the resources.
trump will probably say it was trump casinos that made the donations to reid. however, trump has made donations to the democrat house and senate campaign committees. i don’t know where trump stands. he’s taken different positions depending on the audience. i wonder if he’ll use the same effort to secure the border like he did in hiring investigators to search for obama’s birth origin in hawaii.
That’s where we differ. I knew she was going to lose as soon as she was nominated, and therefore completely wrote off her chances. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Reid himself directed some of his people to “help her.”
None of us knew Akin or Mourdock would blow winnable races, for the simple fact that they were already proven winners. At least with Angle, her mouth gave us a preview of where it led, not so much with the other two guys.
I’m willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on borders. If he wasn’t consulting closely with Sen. Jeff Sessions (instead of El Jebbe with Eric Cantor), he’d not have credibility that he’ll do something decisive and polar opposite to the past and present regimes.
I hope it's a much greater effort, birtherism is a fool's pursuit and if anything was ever a waste of money....
As to why he didn't try to get rid of Reid, the answer is simple, he hadn't decided at the time that was gonna play the conservative in a future race for President so he had no reason not to back Reid.
