Sessions First Senator to Endorse Trump
Roll Call Politics ^ | February 28, 2016 | Niels Lesniewski

Posted on 03/01/2016 4:37:14 PM PST by Clintonfatigued

Jeff Sessions on Sunday became the first U.S. senator to endorse Donald Trump for president.

“We need to make America great again,” the Alabama Republican announced here at a Trump rally, citing Trump’s campaign slogan. “I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States.”

Trump pointed out at the rally that Sunday’s announcement was the first time that Sessions has endorsed a candidate in a presidential campaign.

“I told Donald Trump this isn’t a campaign, this is a movement,” Sessions said at the rally. “The American people are not happy with their government.”

Sessions’ endorsement was the second high-profile one Trump has gotten in the past few days — his former GOP presidential rival Chris Christie threw his support behind the business titan on Friday.

Sessions is the first, but he won’t be the last. Look for more of these after Super Tuesday is over.

Sessions would make a fine running mate for Trump.

See who the media is lying against Trump .

Trump is who we should support!

Trump will stop TPP!

Trump will stop China

Trump will stop illegals with the wall

The media , Rubio,the GOPe etc. all want trump out because Trump is for America and for freedom.

They all want to inundate the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world socialist immigrants. TPP does this.

If Trump is able to overcome the media lies and become president Trump will save the USA.

Trump if he can pull it off will save America from Cruz, Rubio, Jebb or Hillary all of which would have produced the exact same results the destruction of the USA by not stopping the flood of illegals and immigrants.

Trump is the only one I trust out of those running or that ran. Truly Trump will do a heroic thing risking his fortune and success to literally save us from falling in the abyss. Trump is a modern day William Wallace of braveheart only 10 billion times better. if he can become president we will all owe him our freedom , and property and lives.

Definitely Obama had the USA at the tipping point and with TPP etc. they would have destroyed the USA sending it into the abyss. But at the last second Trump arrives , really the only person in the world that i see that could have done it, saved us, and the only person in Washington that is not corrupt or bought off by the globalists and marxists.

Trump is our last hope

TPP : “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration. It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda.”

Sessions didn’t endorse Cruz. Palin didn’t endorse Cruz.

Should be obvious to any Cruzers still around that Cruz is not as great as he seems.

There’s not going to be a 70-year VP paired with a 70-year old president, nor should there be.

Maybe not, but after Obama, there are no rules.

What you’ve said is the reason there’s no reason to be too alarmed about Trump, even if one believes him to be completely disingenuous and self-serving: We’ve just been through Obama.
