Jeb! is up to a statistical tie in NH. Hmm, wonder what concerns me more, the age old argument between street vendors and the people who pay taxes to have a street, or Jeb! actually getting momentum?

Going to have to CRUSH THE DAMN GOPe!

Nothing classes up a place like phony bum vets begging for drinking money.

Think I will take the words of New York Vets over the spin of campaign bots.

Jeb! thanks you for that comment. Little bit more and he’ll really be gaining momentum in New Hampshire.

[WENDLE]

That’s what I thought. No street vendors. Makes sense now. Thanks . I knew the headline was a lie. I hate street vendors— very untidy.

[conservativejoy]

These were licensed street vendors, not homeless. people.

He’ll support them for props for his campaign, but being outside his hotel is terrible. It’s very similar to his recent championing of Christianity. It’s situational and expedient.

“Jeb! is up to a statistical tie in NH.” Do you forget your medication this morning?

[smoothsailing]

Well there goes the phony vet vote.

[heights]

Why don’t you invite some home, and plant them on your lawn.

[Catsrus]

These Cruzbots do the devil’s work - constantly accusing - it’s non stop - do they really believe we will jump on the Cruz campaign with their negative postings? They are delusional.

Trump gave more to the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the Democrat Party, and the Clintons until recently beginning use Vets as props. See this link.

[conservativejoy]

Yeah, we wouldn’t want those nasty disabled veterans cluttering up the Draft Dodger’s Palace, the one he built on the backs of undocumented Polish workers whom he paid less than $5.00 an hour and didn’t even provide with hard hats.

[heights]

More Cruzboy lies.

LOL!

In reading the article more closely, I see we have here the typical fight between street vendors and store/shop owners. This has been going on since Koch was mayor. Koch liked street peddlers because his immigrant family had a fruit wagon on the lower east side and so he refused to enforce or propose laws to outlaw them. Shops on fifth and Madison fought with him over this. Most of them sell touristy junk and are usually consigned below 50th Street. Fifth is sort of divided into two parts: 50 and below which is junky and 50th and above which is elegant and sweeping. Trump is at 56.

See my post 37. Try to find out what Harry Winston, Tiffany’s and Gucci thinks about the peddlers. Usually, they are consigned to the side streets - especially near 3rd Avenue.

July 2015: Trump evades specifics on his draft deferment

[Trump spokesperson's only response.. was the more general campaign statement]

.. "Many years later, Mr. Trump was responsible for the building of the beautiful Vietnam War Memorial in lower Manhattan, for which he contributed a tremendous sum of money," that statement concludes. "He was also responsible for bringing back the New York City Memorial Day parade in 1995, after our military was embarrassed by the previous year's parade where almost nobody showed up. Mr. Trump's parade was one of the largest parades ever held. Today, he remains committed to helping and honoring all of our Veterans."
