Trump foes pounce on ‘secret tape’ with familiar-sounding contents
Washington Post ^ | 2/29/2016 | David Weigel

Posted on 02/29/2016 1:40:04 PM PST by TheThirdRuffian

Forty-eight hours ago, the campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and the super PACs that supported him had apparently found a cohesive, potent attack on Donald Trump -- that the mogul was a "con artist" who defrauded "the little guy."

Any attempt to cohere around an anti-Trump message is gone. For the past 24 hours, Rubio and surrogates have eviscerated Trump for a rambling non-response to a question about endorsements from white supremacists. And for just the last hour, Rubio allies and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) have demanded answers from Trump on BuzzFeed's report that the candidate had more immigration wiggle room than he'd admitted.

Citing "sources familiar with the recording and transcript" of Trump's candidate interview with the New York Times, BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith said that Trump had given the impression -- off the record -- that he was flexible on his pledge to deport every undocumented immigrant. Mass deportation, suggested one Times editor, might be Trump's opening bid in a negotiation, not his do-or-die policy.

“The tapes do not exist. If they did they would have already been leaked.”

The NYT confirmed the existence of the tape, but, as it is off the record, declined to release it without Trump’s permission.

In fact, part of the public portion of the tape is here:

So Trump is the Messiah now? Israel?

I’m sorry, that is absurd.

“Rubio, a member of the Foam Party, is attacking others?”

There are apparently tapes from others, too.

They all need to be released, including Rubio.

“Perhaps Trump isn’t what he seems.”

I think we have a right to know.

If Trump is telling the truth, release the tape.

Maybe we can negotiate a trade? How about the New York Times Trump tape for the Los Angeles Times Obama Khalidi tape?

What? Democrat secret tapes are sacrosanct, Republic secret tapes are weapons?

The Messiah is not the only “type” in the Bible. Read Judges 13-16 and get back to me about this.

“The more they do this, the more I am all in for Trump.”

I guess.

Trump could make them all look like fools pretty easily by releasing a tape that is consistent with his public statements.

And I, for one, would love to see the NYT and Rubio slammed for such.

A failure to release the tape plays into their hands.

Exactly! I know how I’d deal with this. Go find some of Rubio’s gay friends from his college days, make a couple of tapes and put ‘em on YouTube...

Maybe when all those christian pastors, teachers and leaders put their hands on Donald and prayed over him back at Trump Tower in the summer that a hedge of favor and protection went up over him at that time. Just sayin-— factor it into the mix.

Let’s pretend we are Cruz supporters and KNOW what’s in these tapes. Then we’ll ‘imagine’ Trump actually said something like deporting ALL aliens is a starting point, as is being rumored.

That’s a heck of a better starting point than ANYONE ELSE EVER came up with. What if one served in the Military? What if one helped us in Iraq? How about ones who actually fled violence and oppression and should be refugees?

There are some reasons to let some of them stay.
I say that is a great starting point.

THE entire RNC starts with..LET EM ALL STAY!!!

This is how this works: Buzzfeed comes out with the story. Then the Washington Post does the same thing, quoting the Buzzfeed. Next the LA Times will come out with the same story, quoting “multiple” sources. those two. Then the paper in Atlanta reports it as a fact; whatever Trump was alleged to have said is now proven by overwhelming witnesses.

Or maybe an Angel appeared to Frederick C. and Mary MacLeod Trump before Donald was born, and that is why he was raised the way he was. I hope we get to look at the answer book in the Millennial Kingdom to see how it all went together.

OK. First of all Samson was a Judge during the time before Israel had Kings not a Messiah or savior. YHWH raised him up to bring judgement to the idolatrous Philistines, and he ultimately died in the process of bringing down the Temple of Dagon. Judges 13-16 tells Samson’s story. You should read it.

In case you didn’t notice, while the Constitution says there are three branches of federal government, now there is only one. It is the bureaucracy of the old Executive Department. The Congress is irrelevant, just a fig leaf to deceive the masses. The Judiciary has been taken over by agents of the commercial class. Remember when the Supreme Court ruled that even if the produce from your farm never left you state, it was still interstate commerce because you could be affecting the interstate price of the commodity by displacing produce from out of state.

You are currently ruled, and I do mean ruled, using Contract Law. That started when the Federal Reserve was started, and the 16th and 17th Amendments were ratified. That is how Common Core is promulgated. That is why there are Federal Grants in Aid. These are contracts that are used to control local governments and agencies. Do you think any one would actually feed their kids Michelle’s awful meals if they had any real local control?

So, knowing that the contract law regime needs to be overcome, who do you think could do that? A politician who still is under the delusion that politicians, and not the commercial interests are in charge, or a man who has made his fortune using contract law?

Now Donald Trump could turn on us when he gets into office, but there really is no indication that will happen. What does he have to gain? It is more likely that he will use the current executive powers to dismantle the current corrupt system and restore the Republic you think we still have.

Based on the current pace that Bible Prophecy is being fulfilled, the most likely scenario is that the prospect of a Trump Presidency causes Iran, Russia, China or some combination of them to attack the United States with nuclear weapons. This corresponds with Samson taking down the Temple of Dagon.

So it would be a good idea to get right with YHWH, if you aren’t already. If you are, then you should really read your Bible and pray that you will be found worthy to escape the Wrath to come. If you don’t escape the Wrath to come, then remember: Do NOT take the Mark of the Beast on your forehead or right hand! Just head for the hills! Don’t go back for anything. That is what the Bible tells you to do. Shalom!

Trump should tell all these game players to shove it. Then, he should demand that the New York Times provide a list of all politicians with whom they've held off the record conversations, say, in the past three months.

If floating claims that such conversations have taken place with Trump, then it's only fair that the voters know of all such conversations.
