It was a strategically timed question that trump answered in the past and framed in precisely the same way that some here call “slimy”. The purpose was to bring votes to trump and it was effective.

Questions about Trump's ties to the mob are equally valid. I've been baffled by the fact it hasn't happened yet. Same with Christy. You don't do business or government in New York or New Jersey without the mob's approval.

Do we want a president who relies on mob approval?

So then any businessman who does business in NY, MA, IL, FL or CA should be ruled out as a candidate.

Please note that Trump has not been accused to taking money or being controlled by the mob.

Read up on Rubio and the dealings he has with the Miami mob.

There is a difference.

As for NY, get real. When you pay the garbage collector, you have just paid money to the mob. Are you going to take the stand that everyone in NYC who has a garbage can is a member of the mob?
