Sarah Palin Defends Donald Trump Against Ted Cruz's 'New York' Attacks at Massive Rally in Tulsa

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump and his ally Sarah Palin galvanized an overflow crowd estimated at over 15,000 in Tulsa, Oklahoma Wednesday afternoon.

Palin took some not-so-subtle jabs at Sen. Ted Cruz and other Republicans for criticizing Trump's New York background, while Trump said that Hillary Clinton might end up "in the clink."

Palin called Trump "a redhead from the big red Apple" and turned her attention to Republicans attacking their own frontrunner. "They're saying we're not red enough, we're not conservative enough. And I say, what the heck do they know about conservatism?"

Her jabs at Cruz, without mentioning him by name, were clear.

[raybbr]

Yup. Because anything taht isn't a one-liner either gets no press at all, or gets contorted.

Which is why Cruz gets little respect in real life or on FR.

[jpsb]

I wish we had a ignore poster feature here.

[chae]

Lol yeah, delete and block would be nice. Tell you what, you just go right ahead and ignore me, and I’ll do the same for you. :)

Trump endorsed Marxist Bill de Blasio for NYC mayor in 2013 (my title)

"... Fred Dicker: What is it going to mean for Donald Trump to have Bill de Blasio as [New York City] Mayor?"

Donald Trump: "He's a smart guy that knows what's going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York."

Voice Over: That was Donald Trump a little over two years ago, endorsing PC Socialist Bill de Blasio for New York Mayor.

Donald Trump: "I think pretty strongly that he'll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor."

Voice Over: De Blasio ran on class warfare, sanctuary cities and ending stop and frisk. De Blasio's sided with looters and cop killers against the police, with teachers unions against schoolchildren and with PC liberals to let the homeless run wild on city streets.

Donald Trump: "I think he is going to want to make New York great. ..."

America's First Openly Marxist Big City Mayor [Bill de Blasio]

Cliff Kincaid - November 5, 2013

Described by CNN as the "unabashed liberal," de Blasio is actually to the left of Barack Obama, in the sense that de Blasio didn't disavow his communist background once it came to light. At least Obama tried to cover up his ties to communist Frank Marshall Davis.

De Blasio had scrubbed the Marxist connections from his campaign website, an omission that momentarily captured the attention of The New York Times. But once these connections and controversies came to light, he embraced his sordid history. He still embraces [communist] liberation theology and his work for the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua.

Nobody believed the purpose of his "honeymoon" to Cuba was actually a honeymoon, but the media didn't even bother to check into how he made the illegal trip and whether the FBI had developed a file on the candidate.

De Blasio was so open about his Marxism that on Sunday, he campaigned with Harry Belafonte, who during the Cold War sang at a "Concert for Peace" in communist East Germany, where he attacked President Reagan's anti-communist foreign policy. A long-time supporter of the Castro dictatorship, Belafonte was also an ally of the late Venezuelan Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez. ..."

-snip-

De Blasio can be expected to side with Soros and his "progressive base," rather than the police.

De Blasio can also do a lot of damage in the area of surveillance of potential Muslim terrorists. He made a campaign promise to a Muslim group that he would stop the practice of sending informants into mosques and Muslim student organizations.

Going further, if he moves to dismantle the NYPD's counter-terrorism programs, the city and nation could suffer through another 9/11.

Pamela Geller, a New Yorker, comments that the kind of journalism that we saw in the mayoral contest "is not just irresponsible; it endangers us all."

TRUMP: Vladimir Putin's praise is 'a great honor'

Business Insider ^ | December 17, 2015 | By Maxwell Tani

Republican US presidential front-runner Donald Trump is apparently "honored" that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the real-estate magnate a "flamboyant" and "very talented" man.

"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said in a statement, according to Politico.

He continued: "I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect."

How Russia arms America's southern neighbors

Ioan Grillo
May 9, 2014

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

BY: Bill Gertz
February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

*******************************************************************

"Trump's relationship with Russia goes far back. In 1987, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was meeting with Soviet officials and negotiating the building of "luxury hotels" in Moscow and Leningrad .

A story at the time said Trump had met Soviet Ambassador Yuri Dubinin, who mentioned how much his daughter had admired the "opulent" Trump Tower in New York City. This led to an invitation to Trump to visit the USSR. The story said Dubinin wrote a letter to Trump, who hosted a meeting with Soviet officials in New York.

The invitation to Moscow was issued by Intourist, the giant Soviet in-country travel organization which operated all the hotels for foreigners in the Soviet Union.

Intourist was created in 1929 by Joseph Stalin and run by KGB officials. Intourist hotels were designed for wealthy foreigners, and virtually all the Intourist guides were KGB informers. In fact, one aspect of their jobs was the recruitment of foreigners. ..."

"...we are left thinking [whether] Trump understands the aggressive intentions of Vladimir Putin.

"...when Trump was asked about the nuclear balance with Russia during the most recent Republican presidential debate, he displayed ignorance of the decaying nature of the U.S. nuclear triad, which constitutes our ability to deter and survive a Russian nuclear first strike.

"Putin has just presided over a ceremony honoring the KGB's successor agencies, and the Russia Today (RT) propaganda channel has announced the grand opening of a "cultural center" dedicated to mass murderer Joseph Stalin.

It looks like Putin has outmaneuvered Obama and Trump. It is an opening for Trump's opponents, especially Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL). But do they have the courage to "follow the money" and hold Trump accountable for doing business with a criminal regime that threatens the survival of the United States? At the end of this money trail, they may find an explanation of why Trump is so reluctant to hold Putin responsible for his crimes.

FYI, Trump was in his mid-50s in 1999! So he wasn't just some confused college kid when he said he supported gays in the military and all forms of abortion, including partial birth.

Here's the 1999 Donald Trump 'New York Values' Interview Cruz Has Been Talking About

by Josh Feldman
January 16th, 2016

In continuing his "New York values" line of attack, Ted Cruz brought up an interview Donald Trump gave years ago in which he himself emphasized his New York background as being important to his political philosophy. And now we have that interview.

Cruz's campaign posted the video earlier today of Trump with Tim Russert on Meet the Press in 1999.

Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.

He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."

When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country.

EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE in both parties is evil, or weird, or both.

I will be voting for the Republican in the fall because a Republican will bring Republican political appointees to Washington, and SOME of them are bound to be pro-life.

I think that Sarah might want to apply that last question to herself. A lot of the people Sarah is criticizing were fighting the conservative fight before Sarah was a blip on the radar screen.

[Trumpinator]

when she had the Gold Standard of a conservative in Ted Cruz.

Funny, I thought that was Ronald Reagan and Reagan legalized abortion before Roe V Wade as Cali gov.

Palin was a gov of a state. An executive. Cruz is a lawyer who has done what as a senator? What programs has he cut or initiated? Has he ever met a payroll? Built anything? Employed more than a nanny or babysitter?

What does that have to do with conservatism? Jon Corzine, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, George Soros, and a host of others meet those qualifications and still be flaming liberals. Success as an executive or in business does not necessarily make you a conservative.

[CommerceComet]

and still be flaming liberals

should read: and are still flaming liberals.

[SoConPubbie]

Funny, I thought that was Ronald Reagan and Reagan legalized abortion before Roe V Wade as Cali gov.

Yes he did, and regretted it once it became clear that the law he signed was being abused to push abortion for every reason and not just the life of the mother as he expected the law to do.

And from that time, many years before he ran for President, he was staunchly Pro-Life.

Now Trump(who is neither a Tea-Party candidate nor a conservative), on the other hand, the one the turn-coat Palin endorsed supports abortion. He thinks he can pick winners and losers where the lives of unborn babies are concerned.

Do you doubt what I am saying is true, well, then listen to Trump in his own words:

JANUARY 2015

First he states he is in support of Abortion for Rape, Incest and Health of the Mother.

Then Trump was asked about a abortion by a woman being pregnant, and not from rape or incest, and Trump answered that it depends on how far along the baby is.

"It depends when"

INTERVIEWER: "So say a woman is pregnant, and it is not in any of those exceptions [rape/incest]categories, and she chooses to have an abortion" TRUMP: "it depends when, it depends when"

YouTube Video of Interview

[Jim Noble]

There is no doubt that if tolerance of some early abortions is a deal-breaker for you, you should not vote for Trump.
