Long before the Republican presidential candidate became a presidential candidate or a Republican, Donald Trump had a working relationship with Al Sharpton, including doing favors for the racial activist and giving him thousands in donations.

I am convinced they mean well.
I know where these guys are coming from, and in ways they make sense. We can’t deny that Trump has had a checkered past, but I think he operated as a gland-handing businessman.
He wasn’t operating as a FReeper or DU player. That wasn’t his thing.
Reagan went to the local pub and had drinks with Tip O’Neil.
Did we out him for it, and trash him for years afterwards?
Reality is a B, and some Conservatives are going to have to come to grips with the fact this is the last go-round, if we want to save this nation.
We haven’t had a Conservative give us everything we wanted since Reagan. I’m not even sure he would have survived the withering day in and day out scrutiny of a forum like this. We’re a tough crowd.
Trump it is.
Cruzs insider connection is a family affair. His wife, Heidi, is a Goldman Sachs vice president in Houston. Bite me.
Trumps sister works for Chase Manhattan and another is a ultra-liberal Appellate Judge..
Actually his father/ mother all his siblings and most all his friends are rock hard traitorous liberals..
Cruz is a tested, proven, confirmed Conservative..
Proven by FIRE.. not verbal sanctimony.. and Guile..
25 years ago. Wow...
Could you please let me know what he was doing that was wrong in 1975?
Today Rush said he never considered Trump to be a Conservative. I wonder if the usually blunt Levin and Limbaugh are more concerned about losing audience than being truthful and admitting Trump shouldn’t be nominated?
You sound like the RINO’s now
“I say let them enjoy being the opposition.”
translated: Better to go leftist than lose
You realize that is 25 years ago.

Conventional histories generally credit Kennedy with cleaning up Wall Street but history also recounts that Kennedy as ambassador to the Court of St. James became a believer in Nazi inevitable victory and very nearly ruptured the burgeoning alliance with England as it stood alone against Hitler and history is not quite so complete in recounting Kennedy's vote buying in West Virginia and Illinois on behalf of his son in 1960. Kennedy's association with the Mafia obviously continued and was probably exploited to buy a presidential election.
The point?
The essential character of Joe Kennedy did not change.
Today Rush said he never considered Trump to be a Conservative.
Levin is not shy.... although careful...
His show is not FR he could be sued if he cannot PROVE what he says..
However he can..
Geron, better to have a man that at least promises to do what I want, than guys that had a chance to vote for things I wanted, and voted against my wishes.
Trump wasn’t on my dime.
They were.
I believe it’s called “protection money.”
He was at that youthful exuberant age of mid-40’s
lol
What about Trump’s wife? ACTUALLY, you’re just another politics of personal destruction loser.
I didn’t START IT you did knothead..
I just answered your spurious CLAIM..
I see.... SOo thats what your doing is here...
“ politics of personal destruction “
Your “PROJECTING” like all good Saul Alinsky devotee’s DO..
Sorry to OUT YOU... but as I said.. YOU STARTED IT..
Want to play another game... skippy?..
Well said.
hey, rbmjr. remember you from back in the day of the great purge. Great to see you again.
That was not the question and you know it.
The statement was that “Trump is the first candidate espousing conservatism”
which is an absolute lie
sorry, don’t have time for you anymore.
Reagan was 41 when he shifted from being an anti nuke pro union liberal to a political conservative, though he didn’t switch to Republican for a few more years.
I listen to the pap.
I roll my eyes when some fool compares him to Reagan.
Trump’s favorite President is BILL CLINTON. That is present tense. He doesn’t want to be a Reagan, he wants to be a BILL CLINTON who campaigned as a conservative Democrat.
That was July 17 of this year. So its not “ancient history”
