Apparently TWO LUNCHES discussing the possibility is a BIG PUSH for a casino? Really?
Trump has a couple of lunches and they pretend like he is heavily lobbying.....frankly, I believe Trump when be said "If I had wanted it, I would have gotten it."
Just another establishment attempt to make a couple of lunches a major lobbying effort.
Trump has a multi billion dollar reputation, if he says it i believe it. The others have no such morals, they answer with whatever politically suits their ambition.
The GOP Establishment - Doing the democrats’ dirty filthy work that real Americans won’t do
Big Deal.
Who Cares.
I want a wall on the southern border.
I don’t care if Trump had lunch with Jebbie back in 1555 and I don’t care that Trump didn’t defend oButtF* yesterday!
The casinos were built by Trump’s protege, Richard Fields on the Indian reservation. The natives later bought him out. Jeb is still owned by the donors and special interest groups - regardless of what happened way back when.
Trump said something the other night that went over the heads of most.
He said that he would represent the people-it was during the bust up with Booosh.
All Trump would have to do is keep saying that and say that his DOJ will be very busy investigating and convicting the corrupt politicos in DC. Then tell the people he will create more jobs by building prisons to house those corrupt politicos his DOJ will throw in jail.
The attacks on Trump will be vicious and relentless. The intensity will increase. I hope he’s up to the task. If he wins, the world wins big.
JB sold out the Seminoles for the Disney special interests?
NOTHING infuriates the delusional like raw TRUTH. Trump has spoken it to a world overwhelmed with delusions. The more he speaks the TRUTH, the more it will whip the delusional into a frenzy of fury.
The MSM is so stupid. With all the problems we face, do they really think any of us Trump supporters care one-fig about whether or not Trump tried to open a casino in Fla? I certainly could care less and I suspect most feel the same. Another media fail!

I got no real issue with casinos even though I am no gambler.
My Issue with Trump is he rolls with the Mafia guys is a big wheel and has still lost.
How in the F do you screw up a Casino?
You run the house odds
Hmmm...did Donald Trump do anything illegal, immoral, or just plain wrong in his pursuit of establishing a resort gambling casino in Florida? The article doesn't even come close to documenting a yes answer to any of those questions. All it did was string together some actions of Mr. Trump that may not even be related.
Very interesting that the Washington Post would waste valuable column space on an article with no substance. It's behaving almost like an enemy of the Republican Party by attacking the party's front runner. Fancy that.
Bush wasn't Governor when Trump and his partners were trying to get support from then Governor Lawton Chiles
Lawton Chiles served as Governor from January 18, 1991 to December 12, 1998
Jeb Bush went in as Governor January 5 1999 to January 2 2007
Trump did however give Jeb some campaign money, which he does to all candidates, and did have one lunch with him, but Trump decided not to go with the Seminal Indian Resevation to build a casino in Fla.
LOL at the GOPe trying to make something out Trump lobbying, when they sell the country out for free meals.
Jeb wanted a huge up-front payout. Trump didn’t pursue. That’s it in a nutshell.
We’re now seeing TDS - Trump Derangement Syndrome - as the MSM, GOPe, DNC and the entire punditocracy go bats**t crazy trying to topple the big guy.
Wait! We’re in charge here, how did he get in!
Ok. Trump lied and he failed to get a casino in Florida. so what? I doubt it affects his support
What one is seeing vis-a-vis Trump is the left coming together on two created “issues” and creating a boom to destroy Trump. We will be bombarded with celebrities, newspaper articles, comments by TV Hosts and left leaning TV hosts. The left is capable of operating like a choreographed ballet; i.e. hundreds repeating the same points in almost the same words.
"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. He wanted casino gambling in Florida --"
The WaPo story says:
Trump had donated to the state GOP, and, according to Thrasher and another former state official who held meetings on the issue on Bush’s behalf, made his views known in the state capital.
So Trump was correct on the specific charge that he gave Bush money because he gave it to the state Republican party instead.
Trump did try to influence casino gambling in Florida, which by itself is not a problem. Trump could have admitted his general interest in the issue and still deny the specific charge of donating to Bush.
I chalk this one up to a minor mis-remembering of a side fact in the heat of moment of a debate, while still being right on Bush's main charge that he's his own man and can't be bought by special interest money as proven by taking Trump's money and not delivering casino gambling. Bush never took Trump money as he claimed in the debate.
This reminds me of when Al Gore tried to show leadership examples in a debate by saying he flew in a helicopter over Texas floods when he never did.
