"Doesn't Trump know only democrats can play hardball?

Pssssssssst . . . we won't tell him. It will be our secret.

If only more publicans would do. If they had, we would not have been in the state we are today.

Okay, great. What happens when he uses this threat as president and somebody with nothing to lose calls his bluff?

OOooooo! I love hypotheticals!

Easy.
Trump will just hire a witchdoctor from Haiti and turn him into a frog?

He is saying nothing of the sort. Reading too much into it. Trump simply knows his adversaries, and may offer up some interesting information about those donors.

Mercer has the Six Billion Tax problem he needs the WH to make go away.

Mercer doesn't have a tax problem. He uses legal loop holes on high frequency trades to lessen his taxes. Liberals like Carl Levin are trying to increase those taxes.

Mercer apparently likes Cruz's position on eliminating the IRS and moving towards a flat tax.

I like that plan too.

No I’m looking for the truth. Apparently you don’t like that.


What is apparent is that your posting history shows you are pro-cruz looking for some sort of issue to bring out against Trump.

I don’t like that.

I asked a simple question...really nothing to do with Cruz or Trump. If you were from Chicago, you would understand and perhaps not be so quick to implicate Trump which is what you are attempting to do with your other posts.

With all due respect, if you are so interested, why don’t you ask Ricketts yourself

How is it hypothetical to suggest the president of the United States will be pushed around by those with nothing to lose, especially after o-bow-ma?

And what changed that?

I believe you answered your own question.

Yes it’s a given that anyone who can afford to own the Chicago Cubs are very wealthy and politically connected. That said I live close to Wrigley Field. They employ thousands of people who seem quite happy to be employed. I see no signs they are employing cheap labor illegal. They’ve spent a ton of money improving Wrigley and the Cubs are in the running for a World Series. If they want to donate money to Rubio or whoever its a free country... I guess till Trump is elected

God only knows what Hillary knows about Trump, other than he gave her money and supported her for years!

Eventually one of these guys that the Donald is always threatening is going to get tired of him and let lose with all the Donald secrets. I can’t wait until that day.

He is a horrible, childish, loud mouthed bully. I hope his downfall is massive.

I don't have to go around looking for issues. I simply read articles like I've done for 17 years here, and I see issues with Trump that I disagree with, that I will comment on.

And now I've looked at your posting history and and I notice that you go around looking to bring up issues about Cruz and his supporters. "I don't like that".

I've tried having a normal conversation with you, and I did answer your question, but you decided make a personal accusation.

I too read articles like I have for the past 15 years here and if I see issues with Cruz that I disagree with, I will comment on.

However, this was not about Trump or Cruz. My question was about Ricketts and campaign contributions that are not listed...Period. As I said, I am from Chicagoland, so of course the Chicago connection interested me. CHicago Cubs too...Sheesh. If you looked thru my history, you probably saw that today I posted about Senator Kirk as well. I am a Chicagoan~born and raised, so Chicago politics interest me.

Clearly, my question had nothing to do with Cruz or Trump...I merely asked if secret contributions were legal...Seriously, you are the one who turned it into a Trump issue...because you don’t like him.

As I said, ask Ricketts yourself—or ask Trump if you are so determined to delve into it. Maybe you can contact Meghan Kelly to go after Trump on this, but my original question was about the contribution....Period.

As far as bringing up an issue about supporters, guessing you must be talking about the Troll on the Levin thread....—I asked a question on the Levin thread and was attacked by someone who is nutz—even attacked my faith...Sheesh (people even mailed me to not feed this nasty troll). If you would have taken time to look at his history, you would see that Levin show thread is the only thread on which he ever posts (attacks) and only to people who dare question the gospel of Levin or Cruz.

Regarding Cruz. I would be more than happy to debate his position on H-1B Visas, his financing with Goldman, and his Dominion Theology, but that is not what this thread or my comment was about.

So “we the people” can no longer spend our own money supporting the causes and candidates we choose? Didn’t I read about this in a museum in Berlin?
