The whole exchange was unnecessary.
Trump has always claimed he’s played the donation game.
There are multiple news stories about him trying to influence politicians in FL to get legal gaming.
Why deny it?
I told somebody earlier, I sometimes think the guy’s mouth engages before his brain.
It happens to all of us, but to keep denying it tonight looks bad tomorrow when all those stories hit the MSM.
Are regular voters going to dissect it like you did?
I don’t know.
I do know if anything will hurt Trump, it would be appearing to be dishonest about anything.
JMHO
Suppose Trump went on national news tomorrow and said that he had never broached the topic of gambling at all with Jeb even though he was pressing other politicians for support. Maybe it was pointless and he knew it.
Would anyone accept that, or would Jeb suddenly be seen as the Mr. White Haloed I Cannot Ever Tell A Lie in the picture? For the joy of finding something, anything, to take Trump down with regardless of how applicable?
I think if we are of integrity we won’t just look for lies, we will look for truths we may have missed.
