The real story behind Trump's Florida gaming obsession

Jeb Bush was ready to counterpunch at Wednesday night’s debate when asked about Donald Trump’s statement that politicians could be bought. "The one guy that had some special interests that I know of that tried to get me to change my views on something—that was generous and gave me money—was Donald Trump," Bush said. "He wanted casino gambling in Florida."

That’s when Trump cut him off—and failed to tell the truth. “I didn't,” Trump said.

He and his company have repeatedly been on record trying to get casino deals in one form or another in Florida. From hiring lobbyists to taking a former business partner to court, Trump’s interest in getting a piece of Florida’s gaming industry has been documented in news articles from Tallahassee to Miami. Trump’s involvement in expanding Florida gaming—an effort that regularly fails in the state Capitol due to the influence of conservative lawmakers—is well-known among state capital reporters, politicians and lobbyists alike.

The TDS is so strong, you’re coming out in support of Jeb... at least here. I’d rethink that level of TDS.

this story is abut Trump telling a flat out LIE

this story is about trumps lack of HONESTY and therefore his qualifications to be the President of The United States

I do not want a known LIAR as the POTUS Ive had MORE than enough of that and i think we ALL have.

this is not a thread to debated jebbys merits.

all he did was rat out The Candidate from NYC.

Heavy Jeb didn’t accept Trump money for Florida gaming, but we all know he accepts Soros money for the Cheap Labor Express.

Well, he clearly didn’t give Jeb Bush money, so who was the one lying again?

Is that what Trump meant when he said don’t make things up, Jeb?

I can’t believe Trump said this tonight.
He looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar during the exchange.
Why deny this, he’s already admitted to gaming the donation system, and it didn’t hurt him.
He had to know there were records out there.
Lying to the public on national TV ain’t good.
Ask Bill & Hillary.

I swear I think the dude’s got Tourette’s sometimes.

I expect the froth and bubble of this Trump candidacy to be blown away. Time for Trumpoonery-Buffoonery to end and to have the real candidates standup and take charge. I’ll go with Ted Cruz although it perhaps took Carly Fiorina’s brilliant performance to cut the Donald down to size. He appeared clueless on a range of domestic and international affairs.
