Just this past August, here is the transcript of some words exchanged between Rand Paul (a broken clock is right twice a day) and Trump:
RAND PAUL: "You've donated to several Democratic candidates. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get business-related affairs. And you said recently, quote, 'when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.'"
TRUMP: "You better believe it."
Trump practically boasts about using money to buy political favoritism. He doesn't deny it, he confirms it with his typically brass and moxxy.
It's bad enough in a businessman -- how many leftists do we have in office today thanks to "honest" businessmen just ponying up as "the cost of doing business"? THANK GOD the Founding Fathers and signers of the Declaration told the Crown to pound sand instead of supporting England because it was "the cost of doing business."
Trump has BEEN PART of "the influence of special interests and lobbyists" by his own admission and he's proud of it!
To hell with that! I'll stick with Cruz.
See, the point is, Cruz is the recipient of “the influence of special interests and lobbyists”...
‘when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.’
Cuz you'd rather get screwed by the puppet rather than the puppeteer. Take a look at who is donating to Ted Cruz and his superpacs. You don't get money from the Club for Growth or Goldman Sachs because you're anti-establishment.
Are you seriously kidding me, finnie?
Are you a business owner??
If you want that project to be approved, or given tax abatements, you must be in with the folks signing the contracts. Building said projects gives and keeps jobs, from day one.
It’s just a simple fact of life. You’re not “owned” by them. You’re free to give the next guy a donation, or not.
So, you’re saying this is worse than being owned by Open Border Super-PAC donors? Who own you for life??
I’m for the job creator and on the side of the American worker, not the illegal immigrant Welcome Wagon folks.
There may be cases worthy of consideration. In the past he has said Green Cards but no citizenship. Citizenship for their children, however.
If they are otherwise law-abiding and not on welfare or other assistance I can see a path.
Now I will don my bullet-proof vest.
