OMG!!
According to Rush. No problem!
Ok, now lets see how much some of the Trump backers around here like him now that this kind of stuff starts to drip out. The guys a FRAUD.
You can’t hold his political contributions against him. His real estate holdings are 90% located in Democrat monopoly cities. This is simple graft - the cost of doing business at a high level. However, his changing VIEWS - that is another matter (pro-choice/pro-life, etc)
Yes, don't.
“Trump Gave Rahm Emanuel $50K”
Which means he was a shakedown victim. Any questions?
Hence his name; he is just a walking Trump-et. Always blowing his own horn first and foremost..
Sorry but the "pay to play" excuse won't fly.
So you're OK with a potential GOP nominee who willingly participates in the graft?
And every Developer, Construction Management Co, and Major Contractor and/or Subcontracting firm *has to donate* to the RAT party if they're doing business with the City, Crook County or the State.
It's basically legal Extortion by the RATS.
I've seen Two Developers go bankrupt on the same building because they 'didn't play along', and this was after the Plans (drawings) were approved and permits issued. THAT affected every Contractor and Sub on that project. It put a couple of Subs close to going out of business themselves due to No Payments for work performed (all you can do is Lien the property and wait forever for your 20¢ on a $1.00)
So all Trump was doing was protecting his gazillion dollar investment in his Trump International Tower & Hotel Chicago.
Dealing with an Outfit Loan Shark is easier -- and you get better terms.
Thank you. I was getting tired of the BS “everybody does it” excuse.
I will never vote for anyone who gave 50 grand to Rahm.
“Sorry but the “pay to play” excuse won’t fly.”
Yes it will, and does, throughout the business world. You are just incapable, in your purist world, of dealing with reality. But then again, you probably aren’t a CEO or President of a bank or other large institution, either.
“”What on Earth are you doing on this website if you are so liberal? (I know you are not because I have posted back and forth over the years with you but on this one topic you are wrong).”
Then why did you say it, just for effect? You are a purist and see the world as you want it to be, I am a realist and see the world as it is.
Not in politics, especially in CONSERVATIVE politics.
Trump's toast. No amount of wishful thinking will change that.
“Trump’s toast. No amount of wishful thinking will change that.”
Wanna bet?
Yeah, I'll take that bet...

If I owned property in Chicago like Trump did, I’d have given Rahm $50K too.
Witness Microsoft in the 90’s. Witness Apple today. If you don’t spread the dough, you are just begging for Boss Tamany to give you the ‘No’.
You can be realistic and I will be purist as you put it. You go ahead and make a mistake in voting for Trump just as you did with supporting Scott Brown, Arnold, and all the other RINOs that you love. Don’t count on me for assisting you in that mistake and voting for Trump. Will NEVER happen because of his abortion stance. I would rather not go to hell for assisting a baby killer thank you very much. Oh and whatever effect it made you should be ashamed of yourself.
I won’t make a “take the Pepsi challenge” joke.
