Alabama Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) 80% praised GOP frontrunner Donald Trump's responses to his GOP candidate questionnaire.
Sessions noted that to date "Trump is the only candidate who has "answered to my satisfaction".
On February 5th, Sessions, the intellectual thought leader of the conservative nation-state movement, issued a questionnaire to all candidates seeking the Party's nomination. The Sessions test consisted of five straightforward questions addressing immigration, trade, and crime in the United States. In his response, Trump wrote, "After my inauguration, for the first time in decades, Americans will wake up in a country where their immigration laws are enforced."
On Monday's program of the Mark Levin Show, Sessions said:
The American people need to be alert. This is a very, very critical election. I think if they care about immigration issues and trade issues, they need to be sure about where their candidates stand. And I've asked them questions about trade and immigration and one question on crime. And Trump has answered to my satisfaction, but the others haven’t yet. So I think these candidates need to be specific about where they stand before Americans start giving them their vote.
"I'm a fan of Trump," Sessions said. "He's been clear on immigration, he's been clear on trade, and he's talking directly to the American people."

Of course. Trump is the only rational choice for conservatives that want a wall.
Important “endorsement”....but always subject to change.
So, is Sessions a good guy now? Even though he was a liar about Cruz the other day?
Sessions was huge supporter for John Roberts SCOTUS.
Trump hates Sessions for giving us Obamacare
Is he the bad guy now after being praised the other day?
But I was told on FR that Donald Trump doesn’t pass Ted “Kenneth Copeland” Cruz’s purity test. In the Cruz test, it doesn’t matter that you once favored conferring LPR status on illegals, it just measures how many times a day you pander to evangelicals in their churches and alternately brag about your lawyer credentials.
Ted Cruz is winning that one by a mile.
Ted Cruz is full of Beck!
“Is he the bad guy now after being praised the other day?”
Unlike Trump supporters. I don’t like or hate something depending one what my candidate of choice says from day to day.
I dunno?
Let’s look into Sessions’ FEC filings and sundry campaign finances.
Really, those of us who identify with the TEA party should consistently return to the above concern.
AKA: Who purchased whom, and...when?
“...Trump has answered to my satisfaction, but the others haven’t yet.”
Keyword is “yet.”
Sessions asked for responses to his questionnaire. He seems to suggest that he hasn’t “yet” received responses from the other candidates.
Article is written to mislead; it suggests responses were received and were unsatisfactory, then omits any elaboration as to why.
Regardless whether the publication is to the left or to the right, and irrespective of which candidate is being touted, I despise manipulative journalism.
Sessions said that he was similarly impressed with Trump's picks for the Supreme Court. During Saturday night's GOP debate, Trump was the only candidate to list his potential picks: Bill Pryor and Diane Sykes. Sessions, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said "Trump really hit a home run with me when he mentioned [Pryor]."
Despite all the grief Trump took here with the Pryor mention, Sessions was impressed. I side with Sessions over the one-note Pryor FR critics.
Heh....good one.
Trump is nothing until he follows up on his lawsuit on Cruz.
If Trump is a man he will walk the walk not just talk the talk.
Well, why haven't they sent their responses "yet"?
I read about this questionaire a couple of weeks ago, when Trump sent his response.
Where is St. Cruz's?
A Sessions advisor gave Trump those names the day of the debate.
I would like to see where Trump supported them before the campaign.
Some of the responses to this post will be very interesting!
Thanks for posting it.
Excellent sign.
I don’t listen to Mark anymore so I’m curious: Did his head explode our did he go on a tirade against Sessions?
