Yet more “when did you stop beating your wife...” attacks

Duke is obviously on somebody’s payroll to undermine right wing candidates, he knows his “endorsement” is toxic

Also the tweet was a statement Trump made on Friday BEFORE the hitjob on Sunday show, not after. Trump also disavowed on Thursday. The Cruzers need to stop lying.

I asked Trump last Thursday in the spin room about Duke and White supremacist support. He "disavowed" it. He also "disavowed" Duke on Friday

The communist party USA endorsed Obama and will undoubtedly endorse the democrat, as will the Moslem Brotherhood.

Trumps son in law is Jewish, does anyone and I think his grandchild from that son-in-law will be raised Jewish. Does anyone really think Trump is pro KKK. Really???? Good grief, CNN is back to being Clinton News Network on this one.

Why didn’t he just do this when Todd asked his question? It would have avoided needless speculation.

But then again he can’t even tell us how many years has been audited in a row

I grantee you he knows whether he is a Canadian citizen or not.

I call FAKE on that Trump tweet!

First, I’m fairly sure our Donald has never used or spelled the word “disavowed.”

Second, where’s the pithy word at the end?
BAD!
SAD!

Tapper said groups. It was “groups” that was the problem. The msm likes to throw in any groups that are anti-Obama.

Temp doesn't trust the media; must have thought it some series of gotcha questions were in play for the news cycle; waits, checks it out and answers. Of course we all knew what the answer would be (no one accepts David Duke endorsements) now he misaligned their reporting cycle again. Trump does not trust the (lying, corrupt) media who deem it their right to pick our candidates and President.

One good reason. He didn’t at the time want to play stupid liberal games to their satisfaction.

African-American voters see court fight as affront to Obama

Y'know, because he's almost half black. And everyone and anyone who voted for him is a racist a-hole.

“Where has the man been living to not know who David Duke is? Not to mention having to try to figure out if the group was a good group or not does the man do no research whatsoever. But then again he can’t even tell us how many years has been audited in a row he just throws random numbers each time he speaks so I guess ultimately he just refuses to be pinned down with little things like facts”

You pick up on things real fast sparky. “refuses to be pinned down” is the operant phrase. He isn’t going to be Charlie Brown kicking the football for you and I like him for that.
Businessman, new York, golf in Scotland, when does he have time to study a worm like Duke?
Fave bible verse,,,why, he likes a lot of them equally.
Release my taxes for Crubio to pore through and try to gin up a controversy? Yeah, he’ll get around to it when the audit is over. So does the govt speed thru his audit? LOL

He isn’t going to hand you ammo, unlike the other dumb asses.

Now if we can get Clinton to disavow the Communist Party U.S.A. and their union supporters.

They have to make an overt act before you can remove them. They are democrats so they are protected.

So he gets off the set and asks one of his advisors to brief/remind him who David Duke is and what this questioning was all about. He gets briefed and releases this statement.

What this demonstrates is that Donald does not judge until he has been informed.

Now some are saying that Donald knew about Duke way back in 2000 and they cite discredited media sources. So they’re intent on using their own discredited sources to build up their own caricature of Donald as a liar.

So easy to see who has more credibility here. Trump haters are scumbags.

“Trump wouldn’t answer on the spot because he was afraid there was a hidden gotcha in there somehow.”

Exactly, and they hate him for it. Normal pols go walking right into the ambush. This is a fun election.

“Trump wouldn't answer on the spot because he was afraid there was a hidden gotcha in there somehow.”

Exactly! And that's another reason why he will be a good president. Right now, there's no upside to answering these potentially gotcha questions immediately. And by refusing to answer, he gets the media to prattle on about it to the exclusion of his adversaries BS. BTW, just wonder how much Fox News was paid for their hour-long Cruze extravaganza? I thought they had become the Boobio Channel?

Cruz? It’s Cruzbio at this point, IMO. They’re twins. Career politician Cruz has been called home to GOPe and he’s carrying their water now. Ugly, ugly stuff.
