Donald Trump got what sounded like something close to an endorsement from one prominent member of Congress on Monday: fellow New York Republican Peter King. Responding to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus’ assertion that Trump’s presence in the 2016 presidential race has been a “net positive” for the party, Rep. King said he agreed that Trump is moving Republicans in the right direction. ADVERTISEMENT
“I don’t agree with everything Donald Trump says, but he’s making other Republicans go off their talking points, he’s appealing to real people,” King told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Monday afternoon. As a New Yorker, he noted that Trump “may be a billionaire from the east side of Manhattan, but he talks like the guys I grew up with in Queens or Brooklyn, he talks like a real person.”
“I think he’s forcing the other candidates to be more real and to get off their talking points and address issues that the American people are concerned about,” King added, before disclosing that Trump contributed to his past campaigns. He also named Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Carly Fiorina as other candidates who he thinks would make good nominees for the party.
Invoking King’s contentious history with other Republicans currently running for president, Blitzer pointed out that Rand Paul and Ted Cruz were both missing from that list.

Yes, I’m glad PK didn’t endorse or mention Ted Cruz.
RINO to RINO..... eye traffic...
Not surprising that one of the biggest RINOs in Congress likes Trump.
Trump is a RINO... seems to be many rinos on FR too..
Hey every vote counts. Trump needs the RINO vote, the Indie vote, the tea party vote and the disaffected Dem vote. :=)
I certainly am.
King is the idiot who threatened to run to prevent the whacko birds from winning.
It seems to me King was denouncing Trump a month ago.
FUPK
Friday night, Trump said that only the leaders of the United States are stupid enough to allow birthright citizenship. That has been stated by millions of “real people” for many years. Not by any leaders.
FUPK
Thanks PK ; ) Worth repeating though.
FUPK
Trump is a RINO... seems to be many rinos on FR too..Do you think Jim Robinson is a RINO?
If there's a Trump/Cruz ticket, are you going to stay home?
Many on this site hope for Trump/Cruz because they know realistically without Trump, Cruz doesn't stand a chance.
King RINO has one motivation ... To beat Cruz
This isn’t an endorsement
Cruz is not a good strategic pick as Texas isn’t going blue 2016 anyway.
Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and New Jersey. Gamble that Florida will go red and that leaves Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey. Wisconsin is iffy and New Jersey is a pipe dream. That leaves Ohio, that leaves Kasich. Trump/Kasich = Reagan/Bush.
Do you think Jim Robinson is a RINO?
I dunno...... or care..... YOU?..
Many on this site hope for Trump/Cruz because they know realistically without Trump, Cruz doesn’t stand a chance.
Ah!.. A Prophet.!... Louie the Soothesayer..
(eye brow raised)
My first thought, Peter King says positive things, uh oh, what’s up his sleeve?
The GOPe has a plan.
‘ping’
May need to re-evaluate my opinion of Peter King
Sir, every breath you take, every move you make, we’ll be watching you. If you be honest show us. If not, show us. WTP deserve more than your party has given...a LOT more.
There be many who don’t see that add up to anything significant. Like, you I see many voting for someone they might have never liked or even thought of as a politician...whether it be a rino, elephant, or ass. They, like others, see a man who has no label and as such they would feel more comfortable giving him their vote. Wide base of all types= an epic Flood.
Or as Viennacon put it, oh-so-well, RINO SCUMBAG.
Then Cruz on the Supreme Court. Still enough to drive King crazy.
