Courageous Conservatives is a political action committee that supports Ted Cruz and other conservative candidates who support Conservative principles and defend the Constitution of the United States. It has just released a new video weighing in on Donald Trump's New York values, which Sen. Ted Cruz has made a major issue by turning the Donald's words against him. As Cruz has been doing the Courageous Conservatives PAC uses Trump's own words against him. Watch the video:
"... Fred Dicker: What is it going to mean for Donald Trump to have Bill de Blasio as Mayor?"
Donald Trump: "He's a smart guy that knows what's going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York."
Voice Over: That was Donald Trump a little over two years ago, endorsing PC Socialist Bill de Blasio for New York Mayor.
Donald Trump: "I think pretty strongly that he'll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor."
Voice Over: De Blasio ran on class warfare, sanctuary cities and ending stop and frisk. De Blasio's sided with looters and cop killers against the police, with teachers unions against schoolchildren and with PC liberals to let the homeless run wild on city streets.
Donald Trump: "I think he is going to want to make New York great."
Voice Over: So just why did Trump endorse Bill de Blasio?
Donald Trump: "He actually said some very nice things about me at a recent cocktail party I was told by somebody and I thought that was very nice."
That's right, Trump supported Bill de Blasio because Trump was told by somebody that de Blasio said some very nice things about him at a cocktail party. That's basically the same reason Trump calls Putin a real leader. Yes, Trump is apparently that shallow.
New York values.
What difference does it make?
As said by someone else he supported in the past.
I deal with a lot of politicians and say nice things about them all the time. Good thing I don’t have to pinky swear.
They should top it off with the cop killings in December 2014 and Comrade DeBloodio’s implicit OK to the cop killer.
These attacks on Trump would be just so laughable...
If they weren’t using Trump’s own words against him.
If Trump becomes the Republican nominee with conservative support, then the conservative movement is dead.
Shallow is an understatement.
Waiting to see the mental gymnastics that are performed to explain away the endorsement of De Blasio
This kind of BS is why nobody is listening to you people. Who exactly was he supposed to endorse in the city where he builds buildings? The guy who never had a doubt about winning or some schlub who never had a chance? De Blasio won with over 70% of the vote.
Praises DeBlasio.
Praises Hillary Clinton.
Donates to Democrats.
Accepts Soros money.
Claimed he was pro-abortion.
Claimed he favors gun control.
Claimed he supports universal healthcare.
Donates to Clinton Foundation.
Claims he accepts homosexual marriage.
But don’t expect the Trump cultists to connect the dots.
yeah, I bet it would have been much smarter and wiser to call the next mayor of the place you live in a dips4*t moron commie piece of _-_-, right?
I know I burn all my bridges in advance every chance I get.
BTW, you should spam the forum with more useless redstate garbage.
He didn't have to endorse anybody - particularly the socialist.
It’s really only gymnastics for folks like you who don’t seem to use the brain very much. Don’t worry, once you start practicing, it’ll get easier.
Talking about damning de Blasio with faint praise. Very subtle, very clever; hardly shallow! Trump is a businessman who lives in New York, what else could he do? De Blasio was going to win with or without The Donald.
Mr. Trump has single-handedly changed the dynamic of this election. I am not voting for the Canadian, no matter how much I like what he says, and in general I do. He should not be running and we should not be supporting further watering down of the constitution by supporting this self-serving “constitutionalist.”
You mean to say that you really can’t comprehend why he would say something like this on your own?
Seriously?
Thanks for providing examples of the mental contortions Trump supporters will undergo to explain away anything he does.
So what you’re saying is Trump only does what is good for himself, not what would have been good for New York. Should we not expect the same if he is President?
Where was the “endorsement”?
Not following your question, but if you are asking why someone would say things purely to advance their self-interest, then yes I can understand that. It’s just that don’t want someone like that as the Republican candidate for President.
