Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is being praised by Code Pink, a group working to end U.S. wars and militarism that has protested the Iraq War.
Trump garnered support from the organization during the GOP debate Saturday night when he called the Iraq War a mistake and accused the George W. Bush administration of lying before the invasion.

It's not about selling or not selling Cruz. All the candidates have their faults.
The problem many of us conservatives have with Trump is there is more about him pointing in the direction of a center left candidate than a center right.
I believe that if and when Trump wins the WH, he'll tend to shift more leftward on many issues. Not Bernie Sanders left, but leftward, nonetheless
Trump is totally in synch with Code Pink; they’re totally in synch with him. And you’re totally in synch with Trump. Values matter. Words matter. When Trump says the same thing about an event that Code Pink says, then he’s swimming in the same fevered swamp as these anti-American loons. And, you may not have heard, but conservatives do not agree with Code Pink. Trump is becoming the Michael Moore/Noam Chomsky candidate. If that suits you, it’s a free country.
“But in this instance they are correct”
Gotta love how all of a sudden far left wing kooks are correct every time Trump agrees with em.
Did you catch the remark about “spoiled rich kid� The new memo on Trump - appealing to left-wing ideology about the rich. Ignoring, of course, that Trump parlayed a few million into 20 billion or so. Plus, being a very well known builder in NYC. Hardly spoiled - more like hard-working.

Yep! :-D
Interesting how the “Oh, so conservative” crowd are sounding like Liberals in their envy/spite for rich Americans! And they have the nerve to call us Liberals!
The United States could destroy every nuclear weapon in its current arsenal, and still remain a nuclear power.
Why did they praise him? They praised him because he’s selling the same canards that they sell. He’s trying to tear down the nation with defeatism, conspiracy theories, and cynically using Code Pink/Michael Moore talking points. That’s beneath contempt.
Trumpsters are indeed having difficulty with the "wrong" people supporting Trump. You guys are so occupied watching his media enhanced "show" and all the hooplah that you're not seeing the dynamics of this race it really is playing out and coming as the finish line draws closer.....
Liberals and Obama supporters will continue to swallow the Trump kool-aid as it meets their dietary want. While serious candidates gather what they know they need to finish this race.
Voters want more than a blowhard....if Trump doesn't tighten up his presentation and game he will assuredly loose....
No actually that is false. Corporate and stock earnings combined with cheap labor rates in Mexico is why Businesses decide to build things outside of this country.
Trump the Chump decided to have a Mexican sweat shop make his name brand garments. He had choices. He chose to line his pockets with cash at the cost of American workers. Just like he did with his purchase of Thousands of TVs he bought from Korea.

If Trump doesn’t win the nomination, I will vote for Ted Cruz. Time will tell.
They need to cut it out. It makes them seem dim-witted.
“Wake up”
I’m not a Trump follower,I was just making a statement.
I am uncommitted at this point.

The duality of man...
Saddam’s bravado was also aimed at Iran during their endless wars.
They need to cut it out. It makes them seem dim-witted.

LOL! Indeed it does!
It’s not envy. Trump brags about his wealth. Yet how did he get it? The same way the Kennedys got theirs. It was given to him.
I’m sure Code Pink praised Bush too after he admitted there were no WMDs in Iraq.

Why are on Earth are YOU of all people, a Trump-supporting, open and proud Putinista, posting stuff that links commie Code Pink to your guy Trump? You’re supposed to ignore, dismiss, or make excuses for this kind of stuff. Are you feeling, OK?
As to compared to a candidate openly in a Debate forcefully support Planned Parenthood? Accuse W. of invading Iraq knowing ahead of time there were no WMD? Or blaming the 9/11 on W.
Apples and Oranges and you know it. It's one thing to let the press spin it is quit another when the words roll out if the Mouth of the Candidate themselves.
“Trump is totally in synch with Code Pink; “
Now that you effectively copied a reply that you posted a while ago, can you explain to me why a war that we now see was a complete disaster, that has cost the lives of thousands of Americans, cost us trillions, and left us with a mess that we still have to clean up...
Is so lost on you that you want people to simply shut up and continue to back it, least you find yourself being “praised” by Code Pink?
I don’t think you give 2 sh*Ts about the war, or else you would be furiously posting Cruz’s opposite(?) view, but think that people on the right still blindly and reflexively think that it was a great idea that yielded major success, and thus this somehow will make a great weapon against Trump.
