Donald Trump Financed The Gang of 8
Conservative News ^ | Feb 11 2016 | ????

Posted on 02/24/2016 10:25:23 AM PST by TBP

Trump has claimed that no one would be talking about illegal immigration had he not brought it up, which is of course complete nonsense. Even his own talking points dispute that. Trump has repeatedly referenced the ominous “Gang of 8″ as a way of attacking Senator Marco Rubio’s record since the proposed bill would’ve offered a path to citizenship for the illegals The Donald promises to kick out. The Gang of 8 bill was proposed in 2013 so if nothing else, we know immigration was a discussion 3 years ago.

Putting aside the fact that Donald proposes roughly the same wall that was already put forth in the Gang of 8 bill (roughly 1,000 miles), why hasn’t anyone asked Mr. Trump why he sent so much money to the group?

Donald has contributed money to five. 3 Democrats(!) and 2 Republicans. They were Schumer (5 times!), Durbin, Graham, McCain & Menendez.

And what did Trump expect to get for his money? Because don’t forget, it was Trump that said he put money into candidates so he could get what he wanted. It was Trump that said he was part of the problem. His donation to Graham was in 2014, a year AFTER the Gang of 8 bill was proposed, so I guess he felt he got his money’s worth.

What did Touchback Trump get from financing the Gang of Eight? Is that why he's able to use illegals to build his buildings?

It’s a matter of public record. I guess the public records lie, huh?

Ok, I might as well start the list of the usual Trumpsters line of defense now.
1) some variation of attacking the source.
2) “he had to do it as a businessman”
3) Posting the stages of grief list
4) Posting a giant picture of Trump
5) “yeah, yeah, yeah but, but but Cruz”
6) “but he’s promising us a wall”

Why don’t you spend your time going after Hillary? This will do nothing to make Cruz more viable. Just more old recycled crap.

Yes, among them the Trump Tower.

His current project to buidl a luxury hotel at the old Post Office Pavilion in DC is being built by illegals.

I guess when he says he’ll let “the good ones” back in, he means the ones who work for him.

No, the facts just haven’t aligned themselves with the truth yet.

They don't have to dispute it. In their world, if it's critical of Donald, it's a lie -- ipso facto. And if the facts support the criticism of The Don, then the facts lie.

Just like typical liberals!

Yes, but perhaps the next nugget they post about Trump might just be the one to bring him down. That’s what they are hoping for.

When people start grasping at straws its so unbecoming.
