Trump offered to put up his own money to stop the victory mosque triumphal Islamics planned near Ground Zero. Trump offered a princely sum for property worth much less. Trump was lacerated for his troubles.
Open border parasite, and alleged conservative, GROVER NORQUIST and his friends, distributed a letter lacerating Republicans....warning the GOP to drop its opposition.

Ted Cruz signed on w/ Norquist. (hat tip Aunt B)
