Trump is 100% correct once again.
The so-called “Conservatives” in Congress even Pussed-out on ending abortion after 20 weeks.
That nonsense again....Trump was in GOOD REPUBLICAN company...Your photo is of a NY social event...SO WHAT! HE was a businessman...what were these wonderful GOP ‘leaders’ doing contributing and attending and praising the Clinton Foundation? Wake up!
The Bush’s have all but adopted the Clintons!
Newsmax Media, Inc. The media company, which has billed itself as operating the “#1 Conservative Site in the Nation,”
Richard M. Scaife.
News Corporation Foundation
James R. Murdoch. Murdoch, the co-chief operating officer of Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox and son of Rupert Murdoch,
Many Republican Party-affiliated individuals have attended and supported Clinton Foundation-affiliated events, including the annual Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) meetings. They include:
Former first lady Laura Bush, Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch, former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Republican billionaire T. Boone Pickens, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Bush Treasury secretary Hank Paulson, and former first daughter Barbara Bush.
Romney spoke to CGI in the middle of his 2012 presidential campaign and praised President Clinton for having “devoted himself to lifting the downtrodden around the world. One of the best things that can happen to any cause, to any people, is to have Bill Clinton as its advocate.”
McCain spoke to CGI in September 2008 during his own presidential run, and also praised its efforts, stating: “You know something about great change at the Clinton Global Initiative, because you are striving every day to bring it about. I thank each one of you for the good work you have done to relieve suffering across the earth, and to spread hope. I thank you for the even greater works that you seek to accomplish in the years to come, under the leadership of the man from Hope.”
Laura Bush appeared at CGI in 2006 and said she was “delighted to be a part of this year’s Clinton Global Initiative. Thank you for inviting me, and thank you for the terrific development work you’re doing through your foundation.”

Pssst...there are plenty of sources for this if you don’t like that one.
Trump is CORRECT....that is why there is a revolt against the GOP (at least as far as I am concerned)...the heck with them.
Exactly, Guenevere
I don’t see where a firestorm over this could legitimately come from. Trump identifies three distinct groups:
“The Republican Party”
“Conservatives”
And “the base”
With “the base” having broken promises made to it by “The Republican Party” and “Conservatives”
The wording is inelegant, but the explicit differentiation of “the base” makes the overall intent clear. At most this feeds into the charge that Trump is too much of a Twitter addict, but nothing more.
I see it how he meant it. Many of those who put on the mantle of “conservative”...including the leaders of so called conservatives....screw us over every time.
Trump Tweet
Remember, it was the Republican Party, with the help of Conservatives, that made so many promises to their base, BUT DIDN’T KEEP THEM! Hi DT
Pretty tough to argue with the point. Lots of Campaign trail “Conservatives” went to DC in 2010 and 2014 and did not keep their promises to the base.
Is this a fake tweet? Why would there be a “Hi DT” at the end? But the tweet is the truth.
The title “Conservative” has become the last refuge of scoundrels.
Every time I hear that creep paul ryan talk, he says he is a conservative. Throw in mcconnell and some other rino scum and this is what Donald is referring to.
You have the arrogance to call anyone else a Cultist? Sorry bot, you demonstrate your mindless cult bot status when you try to argue with this simple statement of fact.

Who attacked conservatism?
Trump who has not been elected yet or the GOP who gave Obama everything he wanted last December?
Trump’s tweet maes perfect sense, and is absolutely true.
According to Jeb and McConnell, they have met the enemy, and the enemy is us.
The GOP does nothing because they are all compromised.
We need a wrecking ball in DC, and one with his own 757.
I’m not Trump’s biggest fan... but I’m not going to criticize him on this one.
Two words for the nay-sayers: Marco Rubio
We need a Nuclear Weapon planted in Washington, D.C, and Trump is that.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23.
Curious how some “Religious Conservatives” are so willing to throw Christ’s teachings out of their life as soon as election season rolls around.
How many of the gang of 8 did Trump support with donations?$$$
Answer 5.
Yeah, he is against amnesty. No better than Rubio.
Cruz or bust.
Amen! What does “conservative” really mean nowadays?
I even know many who call themselves CHRISTians and are not.
