Donald J. Trump Endorsed by Senator Jeff Sessions

Senator Sessions Joined Mr. Trump in Madison, Alabama to Endorse the Republican Frontrunner

(New York, NY) February 28th, 2016 – Today Donald J. Trump received the endorsement of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. Senator Sessions is widely recognized as the nation's most highly respected official on the issue of illegal immigration.

Mr. Trump stated, “I am deeply honored to have the endorsement of Senator Jeff Sessions, leader of congressional conservatives. He has been called the Senate's indispensable man and the gold standard. He led the fight against the Gang of Eight, against Obama's trade deal, against Obama's judges, and for American sovereignty. He has stood up to special interests as few have. There is no more respected man in Congress and we are closely aligned on many issues, including trade and illegal immigration, and I am proud to consider Jeff Sessions an advisor, friend and ally.”

Mr. Trump and Senator Sessions surprised the massive crowd at the frontrunner’s Alabama rally just days before Super Tuesday Primary contest.

Senator Sessions added, “I am thrilled today to offer my endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President. This election is our last chance to save U.S. sovereignty and to end the domination of the political establishment over the interests of working Americans. Trump alone has rejected the donor class, defending America’s jobs and wages from open borders, uncontrolled immigration and the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership that will cede U.S. authority to foreign powers. Trump’s trade and immigration plans will revitalize our shrinking middle class, keeping jobs and wealth and income inside the United States of America. Trump understands that a nation must always place the interests of its own people first.”

Senator Sessions continued, “We are nearing fast the point of no return. The people are hurting. Their wages are declining. Their schools are overburdened. Their hospitals are stretched past the breaking point. Crime is up, and community confidence is down. Americans of all backgrounds and ethnicities, immigrant and US-born, are crying out for leadership that puts their needs first, that takes care of those living and dreaming here today, leadership that understands that there is no constituency other than the American constituency. Mr. Trump is that leader.

We are witnessing an incredible movement, arising from the people.

The events of history have aligned to give the people this fleeting chance to bust up the oligarchy – to take back control from the ‘Masters of the Universe’ return it to the good and decent and patriotic citizens of the United States.”

Cruz may not be the perfect conservative, but we’d have to probably go back to Coolidge to find one.
I’d still say that Cruz was the “best” conservative this race.
So it goes, most of my lifetime, the “best” conservative running is usually knocked out early.
I still hold out hope that Cooledge was not the last one to reach POTUS.

It’s funny how some here refuse to comment about the fact Sen. Sessions endorsed Trump and not his companion in the Senate Cruz.

I'm not afraid to comment on it! LOL I predict you will not see another debate with Trump and Cruz on the same stage because Cruz will not have an answer to this from Trump:

"Ted, I can get things done, and done the way I want them done because I know how to work with people and get them to come to an agreement but I still WIN. You were not able to get anything done in the Senate because you CAN'T work well with others. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOUR SENATE COLLEAGUES have endorsed you. You have mentioned Senator Jeff Sessions numerous times in this campaign, using him as the standard by which candidates should be measured, especially on the issue of immigration and border security. On this we can agree, Senator Sessions IS indeed the "gold standard", and he just endorsed me. And you still have ZERO Senate endorsements. Why is that? Why is it that not even the most conservative Senators, who know you the best, won't endorse you but are endorsing me?"

GAME OVER.

To your lifestyle perhaps. I don’t recall America having a single cultural identity being so geographically diverse. Maybe your corner of this great land denigrates self starter, highly motivated, self funded, unabashedly confident, type A leaders - mine doesn’t.

Not “drooling”. What is wrong with you?
I put out a suggestion and you say I am drooling?
I said, “Good for Trump” and that is not good enough for you?

A Republican candidate needs to win 1,237 of the 2,472 total delegates in order to become the presumptive nominee.
Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio's PRIMARY GOAL IS His job is to PREVENT ANYONE from obtaining enough delegates in The 2016 Endorsement Primary, so that

I don’t know, but Cruz as majority leader would be wonderful.

Trump would have a cabinet that would finish the “politically correct” Washington beast forever. Can you imagine Palin as Secretary of the Interior? Giuliani as Attorney General? And, as you say, Sessions in charge of Immigration? Wow.

Hi biff,

Can I add you to the “I want the US to be a 3rd World Dungheap List?

No.

I am drooling at the thought of Cruz on SCOTUS.

At this point I wouldn’t support Cruz for dog catcher. He’s aligned himself with Glenn Beck who has resorted to calling anyone who disagrees with him a “racist” or a “Nazi” which is right out of the left-wing playbook. Cruz has put on his tinfoil hat and said that Trump’s taxes probably have evidence of his connection with the mob.

So we are clear that you are drooling?
I thought you were slamming me!

(Frankly, still not sure, are you okay with Cruz, as SCOTUS? I think you are saying so, but this darned thing called language comes up....)

Sir....Congress is considered the Senate and the House of Representatives, so “Congressional” is the proper term to use. Nice try...though.

I saw Cruz pleading with Hannity that he understands the deep frustration of voters against GOP Inc politicians, and tried to convince the audience that he’s different.

Honestly, he wasn’t very convincing.
