“I don’t remember him being at any TPX tea parties.”
WHY on earth would Trump attend a TEA PARTY Express event? They have ALWAYS been pro amnesty/anti enforcement, pro ROTTEN trade deals like TPP...all the big honchos of TPX are TRAITorous LOUTS just like SAL RUSSO!
When is someone besides me going to call out TPX for what they are!? Don’t bother to answer, Syncro, you’re just another apologist for that selfserving bunch of LOBBYISTS, but I see you are STILL trying to have it both ways.
They endorsed RUBIO for GAWD sakes!

Is the Tea Party Express Just a Fundraising Scam?
Tom Dougherty / August 11, 2014
$9.5 million raised, at a cost of $8 million, with less than $400,000 going to candidates.
What would you consider a charity that raised almost $10 million, but actually used less than 5% of that total on its mission and programs? By every reasonable definition, you’d have to consider it woefully ineffective, at best, a fraud, at worst.
Consider then that the Tea Party Express has raised just over $9.5 million between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, but has spent barely $380,000 directly, or indirectly, to benefit the candidates they support. Also, as they spent more than they received, their cash-on-hand decreased by almost $350,000; from $848,000 on January 1, 2013 to $498,000 on June 30, 2014.
The direct costs for raising that $9.5 million were more than $8 million, or 85% of total receipts, with more than $3.6 million paid out to Tea Party Express founder, Sal Russo’s consulting firm Russo, Marsh and Associates
“People are in this country a long time and they are not legal. We have to get them legal in some way in a process that gets people legal that are here…We should do it because it’s the right thing. We need to reform immigration because we need a system that works,” Russo said.

Oh the same old BS which has been addressed many times.
I have PERSONALLY seen Sal Russo put HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on his RMR credit cards and probably as much on gas cards.
The money that he “made” was mostly reimbursements.
I’m not going to go item by item to expose your agenda of hate for TPX so put a sock in it, it’s all been done before.
BTW TPX paid for my food a few times and I eat million dollar lunches so blame it on me.
As it always seems to happen, people want to make money and take something over for their cause. TEA Party people when this happened stayed home but we grew silently and with force.
It was a great movement to let people knew there were many others up set and like them. We at home knew the movement was gaining because of when I was out doing my every day chores.
One or several as at seems BAD Apples does not represent the True Ideals of Constitutional Rights we started out with.
I hope I've explained the cause but its through my eyes I write.
