How can Trump possibly win with this kind of idiocy?

Trump’s plan to defeat ISIS:

“They have great money because they have oil. Every place where they have oil I would knock the hell out of them. I would knock out the source of their wealth, the primary sources of their wealth, which is oil. And in order to do that, you would have to put boots on the ground. I would knock the hell out of them but I’d put a ring around it and I’d take the oil for our country.”

That’s what Sharpton does. He shakes down business owners in NY. Of course Trump pays him off because it’s cheaper than dealing with SJW racism attacks.

DT wasn’t born in an all-powerful, all-knowing position. He got there the hard way. He schmoozes, and then he gets what he wants. He always gets what he wants, eventually. That’s why he’s crushing your guy.

Ooooo, thousands! LOL. Business world is tough. Trump knows Al is a con man and has said so.

The good news is this may help get some of the black vote. Excellent.

Thanks!

At this point he can’t even beat Kasich, Or Fiorina. Or Carson. Or Huckabee. Maybe Graham and Perry. Probably Gilmore.

Sharpton is a shakedown artist. More cost of doing business in NYC.

He did.... but he felt really really tricked about it, so he gets a pass here and continues to be considered 100% Pure Conservative (TM). He’s no globalist!

Oh, he felt really ticked about it, I guess all is forgiven then...NOT. Imagine how ticked he'll be when a nuke is detonated over Israel, or obama passes TPP with unlimited immigration. ,

You want to see nuttery? Look at the keywords.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Trump’s a liberal-—he donated $25,000 to Terry McAuliffe’s campaign for governor of Virginia.

Al and Jessie both do the shakedown. I have a friend who ran a large company. It was clear - give us the money or we will have a major boycott of your company.

Of course Trump paid protection money. It's the only way to do business in NY. (the government too)

I agree. Any business owner would donate money to keep the peace. I can imagine what would have happened if he did not pay up. That is just the way it is these days, sad to say. Al is the modern day Mafia.

Not a big deal to me. Maybe it will help him in the general election.

o: Me... I also heard he flushes twice!

I heard he also had a schoolyard fist fight in the fifth grade.

There are still about 5 people who regularly bash Trump here and a out 10 others who regularly agree with them. That 5 will soon probably drop to 3.
