New source since some objected to the Tea Party source.

Ya don’t get more Establishment than hiring Washington Lobbyist for your campaign.

The Special Interest Cancer grows on the Trump campaign.

Politico?

They work for Trump. He's not taking their money. Big difference.

He who pays pulls the strings.

Lobbyists, abortion issue, okay with transgenders - what party is he running in?

So is the article wrong in its content? Please point out the errors.

Looks like Trump has revealed the type of deal makers he prefers to carry his water.

[conservativejoy]

I notice that when the content can’t be refuted, the standard M.O. is to attack the source.

I can’t tell Trump from Hillary and Bernie. On the Today Show this morning he was talking about raising taxes “on the rich”.

[COBOL2Java]

Manafort did not respond to questions about whether his own lobbying background or those of his new advisers would undermine Trump’s message, or whether his new team had the experience to run a presidential campaign in 2016.

I guess the proof will be in the pudding, as they say...

Lol. Cruz is owned lock, stock, and barrel...by his packed donors and the crooked GOPe. Uses his ‘small government” scheme via the GOPe to select delegates, run like a local PTA in a state wide primary. then crows like a barnyard rooster about gaming the system... Jabs fun at Trump for no ground game.. Now you hypocrites think you have one ounce of credibility to question Trump hires?

[COUNTrecount]

From Politico? There, I fixed it.

[ChuteTheMall]

After Cruz’s shenanigans, he can’t say a damn word about anything Trump ever does.

He insisted that any sort of dirty tricks was simply a ground game, so now he gets a taste of his own medicine.

The GOPe wanted Trump to be more traditional?
OK, now choke on it, losers.

Luckily, given Ted Cruz's behavior these last few weeks, we've been able to gain an accurate measure of the man and found his personal character woefully inadequate for the job.

Yes! Your worst fears will be realized! Donald J. Trump will fire all of the federal workers who are not whistle blowers AND put them in the FEMA re-education camps that Bush and Obama built. He will round up all the lobbyists AND put them in the re-education camps as well. He will go through the Code of Federal Regulation and REVOKE almost all of the regulations since 1988. He will prosecute all Government official who provided material support to the Muslim Brotherhood, or its child organizations, including Hillary Clinton and her crew, President Obama and CIA Director Brennan.

Yes Donald J. Trump will make the Stalin Purges look like a picnic! When he is done, we will have a Constitutional Republic with a limited Federal Government! Which, apparently, is your worst nightmare. ;-)

Trump is and has always been a lobbyist financier. He has likely bought as much influence as George Soros.

[TEXOKIE]

“He who pays pulls the strings.”

Exactly, plus you gotta admit that lobbyists would know how to schmooze and persuade people who are the potential Trump delegates.

All I want is the WALL built, our country put on better economic footing, and have Trump appoint better Supremes than Hillary or Bernie would do.

If he does those things, I don’t care about his conservative purity or his independence from all things “establishment.” He knows how to work with people, and remember, we are talking POLITICS here, which entails a LOT of not so fun to watch sausage making!

[Just mythoughts]

Trump is exposing that the political class uses WE THE PEOPLE to pay back their donors through legislation. Tax breaks, taxes, grants, whatever it takes, the political class will use US to pay back their high dollar donors.

Good Grief. Can you guys get any more deranged?
