AMES, Iowa - Rep. Steve King , an Iowa Republican and Ted Cruz supporter, says Donald Trump bought his endorsements. Trump recently received high profile endorsements from Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and Liberty University president Jerry Falwell, Jr.
King reiterated his statement about the endorsements to the Daily Caller on Saturday during a Cruz rally at the Gateway Hotel and stressed that he "knows things."
"He has, from a regular person's perspective, unlimited resources and he's willing to use whatever access he has in order to get the endorsements that he wants," King explained.
"Among those are the assets that we would naturally think of, including the attraction that might be for, oh who knows, a reality TV show, a job in the Trump machine," he said.
King added: "There's fame and fortune, and there's also the fear factor of retribution, which Donald Trump has not been shy about delivering against people. So all of that affects a person's judgment under those circumstances."
The conservative Iowa congressman would not get specific, but would only say, "I know things, but I'm saying what is appropriate, so that people will know enough, and I'm wanting to keep this on as high a plane as I can, but I don't think my conscience can allow me from not saying anything."
“What are these GOPe guys like King so afraid of losing if Trump gets in?”
Loss of control, donor money, the good “go along to get along” life. How’s that for starters?
More last minute gutter level politics. Charming.
Give me a link to that "close vote" breakdown.
The FEC took sworn statements and found no reason to believe the claims in the complaint.
None of what you post is believable. Blow it out your other ear...
The Cruzs' Goldman Sachs loan was made against their assets.
**************************
Definition: "A margin loan lets you borrow money to invest and uses your shares or managed funds as security. It can help you increase your returns but it can also magnify your losses. Margin loans are for dedicated investors who actively monitor and manage their investments."
I have no idea how honest Trump is, however were he dishonest there would be smoke and as best I can tell no one is claiming Trump is a liar or a thief. Considering he has dealt with 1000s of people for over 50+ years it is remarkable that no one has come out claiming Trump is a crook. And no female was come out claiming sexual harassment.
When a privately held corporation borrows money, the loan is guaranteed by the owner of said corporation and that owner has their signature on it.
Trump is not being honest in his statement he did not file bankruptcy personally when he owns the corporation. He is the corporation.
A publicly held corporation is a different story, but he is not one.
The Cruz s Goldman Sachs loan was made against their assets.
Oh yea, forgot about Cruz s loan from Goldman Sachs, but back on topic -- your points aren t connecting.
And half didn’t.
So it was tossed.
Thanks for adding the link.
Which certainly changes the story from the lies you're peddling about it being dismissed as baseless. I'll also add that the Romney campaign accused Bobby of demanding money for his endorsement as well.
Bobby should have went down.
Facts please. When and where did Trump admit that he went bankrupt?
Provide evidence, or apologize to us for spreading lies.
Trump did not go bankrupt, 4 of the 100s of businesses that Trump owns (with partners) went bankrupt.
Trump RAN Trump businesses, and four of them went bankrupt. Trump thought it was good business to stick it to the creditors.
A Trump presidency, heaven forbid, would BANKRUPT the country, which would stick it to the taxpayers.
No.
It was tossed.
Your Comment 7 of this thread (designed to discredit Vander Plaats and King) says it all.
YOUR POST:
"And yet Ted Cruz literally has the endorsement of a guy (Bob Vanderplaats) who has been accused of selling his endorsement by both the Romney campaign and others.
One wonders whether King himself sold out his endorsement, and is now projecting his own guilty conscience onto people like Falwell and Sarah Palin."
You could have said "a close 3-3 FEC decision that was tossed" but you didn't want to give that information, you just wanted to leave a false impression - a half truth - a lie by omission.
Trump has taught you well.
If anything, dumb dumb, saying a "close 3-3 FEC decision" would have been stronger than me merely saying he was "accused." Literally every post out of you is stupid.
Anyone who has read Robert J Ringer has his pulse. I’m not impressed.
Nobody stuck it to the creditors. Investing in any business is a risk. If the business does well the creditors get rewarded with a nice return on investment. If not the creditors lose part of their investment, that is just the way it is.
Blaming Trump for bankrupting this nation ? I cannot keep with the insanity.
