Long before the Republican presidential candidate became a presidential candidate or a Republican, Donald Trump had a working relationship with Al Sharpton, including doing favors for the racial activist and giving him thousands in donations.

I think this could easily kill FR. If Trump wins we get to see the Rah Rah chorus praise every leftwing thing he does.

It's already becoming too much for me to tolerate. The conservative movement appears to have jumped the shark.

Next in line for a free lunch...The Mooselim Brotherhood

ah...President Donnie...will you give ISIS the protection money they’ve “suggested”??

I can smell it all now,.....

You do not know much about business, do you? Even here in this state people give money to protect their interests. We hear about it all the time. Just why do you think Al and Jackson blackmail business people? All you have to do is read. It is amazing what people learn in doctor’s offices or other places by listening to others and keeping quiet. Every business in this country who have had “threats” by those 2 characters “donate” money or else they do not have a business anymore. Surely you know that. He is the only one to stand up to the establishment although a few seem to have gotten a backbone. I am very tired of voting for the lesser of 2 evils. Many feel the same way. No one is perfect.

Is the Donnie a Big Social Healthcare Guy?

has he promised voters he will Personally pay for their Bills????

[Pelham]

So you’re saying Ted’s a phony when he and Trump are palling around?

[GeronL]

I’ve been around since ‘97 (even though it says I signed up in 98) and I have never thought this website was so close to becoming not conservative any more.

I thought it was bad when they were going for Mitt Romney or Scott Brown was the new messiah...

Now it’s a certified leftist celebutard and we all know it ahead of time this time.

[MamaB]

Yes, they did by plain out lying to get elected. Most are no better than dems.

[MeshugeMikey]

In this world of Mullahs and Isis....that would include....the Mullahs amd Isis wouldnt it?? it sure would

BAD BAD BAD Precedent

BAD precedent

Bad Bad The Donnie

[GeronL]

personally, lol, no.

He isn’t actually much for charity

[MamaB]

Reading minds, huh? Frankly I have not heard of anyone doing that.

Ted Cruz..Unless Jesus Returns befre the election.

Cruz’s insider connection is a family affair. His wife, Heidi, is a Goldman Sachs vice president in Houston.

So, is insider financial hanky-panky is worse than donations to liberal scum for business survival?

Like I said, your politics of personal destruction won't fly here anymore.

[dragnet2]

Sharptons a criminal! a dangerous criminal a man of LOW character. Ya think a real conservative would HANG OUT with this THUG???

Trump told ya Sharpton was a con-man Mikey, so ya already knew that.☺

Speaking of criminal, what do you think the Bush's, Clinton's, Obama, Congress and the rest did to America for 30 plus years? Do ya think what they've done to America was criminal Mikey?

This is nothing, zip. Get your priorities straight.

[Din Maker]

Al Sharpton denied this tonight on MSNBC. Said Trump never gave any money to his organization and they were NOT buddies.

[Fledermaus]

Reagan was a Democrat too once. And the head of, oh my, a union.

[dragnet2]

nick is here so I know this is earth shaking serious.☺ Go get um nick!

Reagan was a Democrat too once. And the head of, oh my, a union.

Another false smear on Reagan. By the time he was president, he had 25 years of conservative activism, and knew conservative theory inside an out. He didn't have a couple of aides handing him talking points he knew nothing about. And Democrats when he was one, were nothing like they are today.

You do not know much about business, do you? Even here in this state people give money to protect their interests. We hear about it all the time.

I know a lot about business; I have owned one for 32 years. And not once in all that time have I even considered paying anyone a dime to "protect my interests". I could have and it may have even been the path of least resistance, but I stood my ground and I prevailed.

If Trump paid Sharpton for that reason he is a weasel.

[hosepipe]

It is only a matter of time until Trump supporters here embrace socialist healthcare too

---

I suspect some already do... the word “conservative” is becoming NEBULOUS...

When contacting an alleged “conservative”
MENTION the Word TRUMP...

And watch to see if their EYES ROLL BACK.. (metaphorically)
and they start speaking in Trumpeze..

IF so.. take your hands off the keyboard
and slowly ever so slowly.. go to another thread..
OR just call them names.. and POINT! at them...

It's hilarious that Trump supporters say how invincible Trump is and he's not afraid to "stand up" to everyone and everything. But then when he's revealed to have given money to someone unsavory, they fall back on the excuse that he's a helpless little wimp who has no choice and can't, "stand up."

So maybe he is a wimp, but I think he gives money to Sharpton because he's a wimp, but i think it's because he likes Sharpton and they are cronies. After all, the majority of real estate developers don't give money to Sharpton, and their business goes on just fine. What do you have to say to that MamaB?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, Trump is a liberal.
