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.

“Not one single Conservative guy is going to get the nomination.”
Not a good enough reason to support a non-conservative
So odog, I guess you are gonna vote for Hillry?
All you gotta do is read the facts on the votes you are talking about and obviously do not know anything about.
I wasn’t referring to TPA.I was referring to the Corker bill. Do you want to defend that one?
No, no! Vote Bush! (more extreme sarcasm)
2004 was eleven years ago. Was his payoffs to Sharpton done for political favors in New York? I doubt Donald is a radical PC racialist like Al. Donald Trump did not get where he got being a good boy. The uniparty will impeach him as quick as possible if he has the same standard of operation as President.
Our choice seem to be total invasion and amnesty for around 30 million foreigners, many of them criminals, or Trump to me.
Did YOU write this article?????
If you did write it, then yes it’s directed at YOU, if you simply posted the article then use common sense....guess it wasn’t meant for you....
>> Trump is intent on destroying the Republican Party <<
I kinda doubt that he sees things that way. Maybe he just wants to destroy Jeb Bush, pretty much the same way tht Ross Perot wanted to destroy George H. W. Bush.
Unlike Perot, however, I’d say Trump isn’t now on track to give us another Clinton as POTUS. More likely IMO is that we’ll wake up on November 9, 2016, to news about President-elect Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
>> Imagine President Trump paying the Iranians Not to Nuke Us <<
No, no, no! You got it backwards:
He’s gonna make the Iranians pay for the construction of massive anti-ballistic missile defenses for both Israel and the USA — giant “nuclear fences” so to speak.
>> Imagine his pro-abortion extremist sister on the Supreme Court <<
Won’t happen, because she’s way too old. Now 78.
On the other hand, she would probably be his number one advisor on judicial appointments. Yikes!
>> I think he gives money to Sharpton because . . . he likes Sharpton and they are cronies <<
Celebrities of a feather flock together.
But, see, as a businessman he was not able to simply order a "hit" on the blackmailers. As POTUS*, whole different scenario! Apples / oranges.
*I still prefer Cruz, but a non-politician raises a lot of interest since I've supported term limits and an end to the professional political class for years.
>> Cruz is a smart guy. He’s following Bush and Graham in sliding poll numbers. Someone had better start administering mega doses of gravitas in him <<
Sorry to disagree, but I think you’ve got things pretty close to bassackwards. Cruz has plenty of gravitas, even too much of it. But that’s about all he has — severe gravitas with an extremely high IQ.
The trouble, as I see it, is that Cruz comes across as grouchy and arrogant. He can’t seem ever to smile a genuine smile, only a strained and silly grin. He lacks good cheer and a sense of humor.
If I were a Cruz adviser, I’d be pushing him to hire an acting coach and develop some Reaganesque good cheer to balance his overweening gravitas. But it’s probably too late for that now. So maybe he should start retooling for his 2020 election run.
But, but...he speaks truth to power!! He, he, he.....called Rosie a fat broad!!! Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh..........MEXICANS!!
I am not nearly as concerned about the conservative soundbites that come out of a candidate's mouth today as I am with whether the candidate demonstrates conservative principles in his personal and professional life over time.
On that score, Trump misses out. By orders of magnitude.
That ended almost 3 years when everyone started lining up behind Romney & crucifying anyone who did not.
>> Which means we get 8 more of Hillary and a fading United States <<
Hill is finished. You can take it to the bank. The email news just keeps getting more and more devastating, day by day and drip by drip. If the improbable happens and she actually does get the Dhimmi nomination, just wait till the GOP PACs’ negative ads start hitting her. Will make the Swift Boat guys look like children in a sand box.
By the way, Al Sharpton told Chris Haynes on his Wednesday night show that the Weekly Standard article is bunk!
Weekly Standard has turned into a liberal cesspool, much like RedState. Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes are ultra-progressive RINO’s, nothing more.
Here is something from a conservative website....
From Breitbart...their latest 2016 Primary poll results:
Businessman Donald Trump won August’s Breitbart Primary, surging ahead of , who won the first two Breitbart Primary straw polls.
It was the first time that Trump, who announced his presidential bid two weeks after the inaugural Breitbart Primary started in June, has won a Breitbart Primary straw poll, and his 12-point victory over Cruz in August was the largest margin of victory to date in Breitbart Primary voting.
Trump received 38.7% of the vote, followed by Cruz (26.6%), Dr. Ben Carson (10%), Carly Fiorina (5.63%), (5%), Scott Walker (3.82%), and (2.9%).
Cruz edged out Trump in last month’s Breitbart Primary, but Trump surged into the lead in the first week of August and, like in every other state and national poll, never looked back and widened his lead to 12 points over Cruz. Focusing his campaign on illegal immigration and trade deals that harm American workers and vowing not to be beholden to lobbyist and D.C. outsiders, Trump has lapped his competition in nearly every state and national poll that has been conducted in the last two months. Trump has galvanized the conservative base and is appealing to voters who usually sit out elections because they find establishment politicians from both political parties to be repulsive.
The Breitbart News audience is getting more engaged in the 2016 election, as more people voted in August’s Breitbart Primary (152,000) than in the previous two months combined. And non-politicians and anti-establishment candidates Trump, Cruz, Carson, and Fiorina accounted for 81% of the first-place votes. Establishment candidates continued to do poorly in the Breitbart Primary as former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, former Texas Governor Rick Perry, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former New York Governor George Pataki, and
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
all failed to get even 1% of the vote.
Here are the results for August’s Breitbart Primary:
Donald Trump: 38.7%
Ted Cruz: 26.6%
Ben Carson: 10.0%
Carly Fiorina: 5.6%
Rand Paul: 5.0%
Scott Walker: 3.8%
Marco Rubio: 2.9%
John Kasich: 1.9%
Mitt Romney: 1.1%
Mike Huckabee: 0.90%
Jeb Bush: 0.90%
Rick Perry: 0.4%
Bobby Jindal: 0.5%
Chris Christie: 0.2%
Rick Santorum: 0.2%
George Pataki: 0.10%
Lindsey Graham: 0.08%
Walker, who placed second in the inaugural Breitbart Primary, Paul, and Rubio continued to struggle to gain traction in August. All three candidates have struggled to break out from the pack in national and state polling as well.

Wow, conservatives voting in BIG numbers, for Trump. Go figure.
Okay, thank you for the clarification. That helped.
I generally agree with your comments too.
When hell freees over I will anything that Revrunt Al Sharpton has to say,
his fame began with the tawana brawley LIE....and continues in the same vein to this very minute
He knew SHE was lying...and supported that lie..
Revrunt Sharpton is not a credible witness concerning ANYTHING whatsoever.
Id suspect that the would be candidate MIGHT try to clear this matter up..but who knows
Weird!
Let us ask ourselves..
WWRD
What Would Reagan DO?
