Behind Trump's CPAC deal gone bad
Politico ^ | March 4, 2016 | Kenneth P. Vogel

Posted on 03/04/2016 5:36:46 PM PST by Innovative

Donald Trump spent five years building a mutually beneficial relationship with the organization that hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, filling its coffers with at least $150,000 in cash and scoring coveted speaking slots that started him on a course towards winning the Republican presidential nomination.

But he ended up canceling what would have been his biggest CPAC speech at the last minute amid plans for protest and disruptions, apparently deciding that his surging presidential campaign no longer needed any boost from the once-storied group.

I see you’re doubling down on your stupidity...and your inebriated rant.

Wait....maybe this is just your usual demeanor.

Yikes.

Huh ?

I’ve been one person here for years.

You know what? You are a very sad individual. Nearly every post I see of yours is calling someone a disparaging name or saying something disgusting.

Can we make a deal. I will not post to you and please do not post to me. No point.

Not a ‘try’, it’s a fact.

I don’t mind you denying it either, live in ignorance if you want.

Double standard. Can you imagine Mitt Romney & Co speaking like this about Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton.

It’s very irresponsible as well.

You need to provide a disgronifier for anyone trying to understand your broken grammar.

Actually, the statement you’re deriding is grammatically correct...perhaps it’s the British Isles nature if it that confuses you...

Despite the opinion of your many therapists.

RE: Can we make a deal. I will not post to you and please do not post to me.

Well, posting to you is like posting to a two year old, so I have no intellecual interest in boxing with a fruitcake, but sorry..I’ll call you on your stupidity every time.

Cruz is a sleazy, lying fraud.
He is no more conservative than......Hillary Clinton.

Elliott Abrams is in Cruz’s inner circle of advisers. He is Cruz’s foreign policy adviser.

Remember him? He worked for the BUSH Administration. Foreign policy adviser. Currently works for.....you guessed it:

Council of Foreign Relations, “CFR”

Can we say GOPe Cruz? Cruz has surrounded himself with Globalists.

Justmythoughts posted this link to an amazing article:
http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/01/lying-about-reagan-to-get-romney-elected/

Chad Sweet, Director of Texans for Ted Cruz, worked for Goldman Sachs for a decade, reaching the position of VP before leaving to work for Homeland Security.
Check out this link from FR last year:

I hope Cruz never again holds any political office in our country. I’d call him a traitor but he’s Canadian.

Your entire post is spot on. Explains all of the dark connections.

cRuze has deep Bush/Romney/globalist connections that many folks here seem to have no problem with. The fact that cRUZe was brazen enough to post that Jeb’s financial staff have now gone to his own campaign, is downright scary.

No thanks.

Here’s another link to cRuze staff...

But my point was, Trump would have said that had they asked him the question. He’s not scripted and has no fear of giving the ‘wrong’ answer.

Cruz refused to answer. And no one called him on it. I guess I wasn’t surprised!

Thanks, Jane.

My husband was just reading that link that you posted!

It’s so amazing, this deep, dark, calculating evil the globalists have carefully plotted for so long. Such charades they carry out. Years of grooming Cruz to play the role of a conservative. The web of deceit is breathtaking.

You must be drunk to my friend

actually that is incorrect grammar...I believe you meant to use the adverb ‘too’, acting as a modifier to the predicate phrase ‘must be drunk’, whereas you actually typed ‘to’, a preposition that in your sentence implies some heretofor unmentioned friend of yours who considers me drunk...but perhaps that’s what you really meant...

You obviously are not very thorough: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3405314/posts?page=149#149

I go back to the original: “Then you needs must bore yourself to death!”

If you think that is correct grammar. Pfft. That’s like “all your base are belong to us”. Are you from Kazakhstan? Go back to elementary school.
