Behind Trump's CPAC deal gone bad

Politico ^ | March 4, 2016 | Kenneth P. Vogel

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.

“one who praises Planned Parenthood and has vowed to fund it? Money is fungible.”

He said he would DE-fund PP until there were no more abortions performed. He didn’t say he would de-fund just the abortion side of PP. If he had, then your “fungible” statement would be appropriate. He would de-fund ALL of PP until the abortions ended.

Another lie by another Cruzite. Logical.

>>Another lie by another Cruzite.

Cruz, the Wizard of Deceit

[american colleen]

I can’t believe the double standard here. Not one mention of it by anyone today.

Trump would NEVER get away with that. Trump would actually answer though. I might not agree with his answer but I admire and appreciate the fact that he isn’t scripted.

[MayflowerMadam]

“How does Beck get by saying such a thing? “

And you just know that when he stands up to close at CPAC he’ll get a standing ovation.

What has become of our country.

[sauropod]

Brother, I say this with fondness, but think you’ve got to give this a rest for tonite.

I didn’t read the whole damn thread (tm) but major sections of it.

Live to fight another day.

To JimRob,

I’ve known Big ol’ for a number of years now. First met him right after the election of 2000 where Al Gore tried to steal the election. Big ol’s a patriot. I know him personally and professionally. Cut him some slack.

yours very truly, ‘Pod.

[unsycophant]

Absolutely right.

CPAC is unfriendly enemy territory, with people waiting to try and humiliate or embarrass him.

The party of “true conservatives” has morphed into nothing more than #OccupyConservative types in recent years. Really a shame they’ve been allowed to disrupt & ruin the event.

[nopardons]

Be nice to him, he has a stultified grasp of simple English.

Which makes one wonder just WHY W came out fiercely ( well as fiercely as he can be ) against Cruz several months ago. Just more KABUKI THEATRE ?

[MayflowerMadam]

“bale me out”? Really! Two words for you: (1) remedial (2) English.

[big'ol_freeper]

Thanks Pod. Signing out.

[nopardons]

So did I and even very gently touched his desk ( which is forbidden ), and discovered that I have a first Edition of a book that they don’t have. I was tickled pink.

[nopardons]

That he is!

The masks come off, one by one, and those with eyes see what and who Cruz really is and he is NOT who he pretended to be.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

“He’s a coward.”

Coward like a fox.

[MayflowerMadam]

“He decided he would get more bang for his buck Campaigning “

And this is why Trump is successful in his business; he make the best, and most efficient, decisions. The others would rather hob-nob with their elitist cohorts because that’s most important to them. And that’s why they’re not successful in business, and have to depend on OPM to fund their campaigns.

There are “makers” and there are “takers”. Trump’s a maker and the others are takers and beggars, and they’re taking from us.

[Jane Long]

I called it on the day it happened. I warned ‘kabuki!’, ‘taqqiya!’.

With their given work background, I knew it was nothing more than calling in a chip...for the Roberts info and donor/financing info that was surfacing.

[nopardons]

Something horrible, which Trump is the ONLY one trying to change!

Where are the others? NOWHERE !

[Right-wing Librarian]

Yes. The ole “good cop/bad cop” deceit.

They are equally duplicitous....Wizards of Deceit

[Jane Long]

Nice...on the first edition. Which book?

You and my youngest would get along splendidly....you could talk all things Dickens...all day ;-)

[JediJones]

Good. I can’t wait to buy more low-cost, high-quality goods from all over the world and save money.

Go to school and get an education and a good job so you don’t have to worry about competing for crap manual labor jobs that should be done by people at the very bottom of the economic ladder in third world countries.
