okay, but my bigger point is still correct. He was not on the TP bandwagon from day one. Not by a long shot.
His first speech at a teaparty event was April 16 2011. He spoke along with Alan West. A very rough speech showing his inexperience
He and Sarah Palin have been fiends since the McCain loss. I remember him getting pizza for the entire family when they visited NYC. There was a cute picture of him with little Piper. The Trumps also have a family member (nephew iirc) that has Downs Syndrome : which has bonded the two.
So how far back do you need to go to show his connection to TEA party?
With the lack of organization dues paying members are more suspicious than those of us who relate to TEA party issues
