Trump, he added, would not be running as a "purity" candidate.

too bad the Tea Party candidates didn’t have Trump’s funding after 2008. So many Dems and RINOs could have challenged with more media. And Trump would have more credibility after giving so much to Dems
You mean “instate” like nazi pelosi and Harry reid? Like the dammocrap victory fund to undo Republican control of the Senate, helping to create the conditions to pass obamacare? Like THOSE “instate” contributions?

Show me a young Conservative and I’ll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I’ll show you someone with no brains. - Winston Churchill.

Here come the Purity Police again! Oh, noes! A businessman in a blue city in a blue state gave donations to blue candidates! Bring the fainting couch!
I’ve owned businesses for 30 years. Never gave a dime to a dammocrap.
That was then, this is now.
Not going to work, Trump haters.
he didn’t however..run for President holding those views and simply pretend to be a republican ! therein lies the difference, and a glaring difference it is!
I was a Conservative as a teenager. Guess I had no heart but then as a Black Conservative teenager surrounded by political ignorants I needed to be ice cold heartless in the late 80s!
Here you go.

Exactly. When I heard Cruz say that, I thought to myself (and posted here):
Yeah, that worked out so good for Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney, being nice instead of taking it to their political enemies.
You win with everything you have. Anything else is not doing your best.
Mine too.
DT donated pretty big money 2014 I think the year to McCaulife the in Virgina governor’s race against conservative Cucinelli. I know I didn’t spell those names right but hopefully you get what I am saying.
Trump had 22,500 people depending on him to keep his company moving ahead despite government regulations and red tape.
Are you able to grasp that?
So Trump doesn’t play ball, and six thousand employees lose their incomes because Trump has to shut down work while he goes through red tape.
Is that a good thing?
He was in New York, and had to deal with New York politicians.
Who knew?
