In 2012, when Sarah Palin was banned from speaking at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump was the only person to come forward and defend her right to speak.
The whole TEA Party was treated like a red-headed bastard step child at Romney’s shindig.
got a link to back that up?
In 2012 Trump was absent from Tea Party rallies. In fact Trump said he is a part of the establishment and is now courting the establishment with his promise to make deals with them
I don’t have a link.
I watched the GOP convention on TV and the pre-convention coverage, and I saw, with my own two eyes, Donald Trump expressing outrage that Sarah Palin was not allowed to speak at the convention. It may have been on one of the evening national news broadcasts; not sure where, but I do remember Trump going to bat for Sarah.
Later, it was explained that the Romney people wanted to see every speaker’s convention speech in advance, and Sarah took offense to that requirement.
The most conservative moment of that Tampa convention was when Clint Eastwood spoke to that empty chair and laid in to Obama. My favorite part of the whole convention.
I don’t have a problem with Trump making deals with the GOP establishment as long as the establishment gives in and does what is in the best interest of America (for a change).
