"So, what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans? Am I going to contribute to, I mean, one thing I'm not stupid. Am I going to contribute to a Republican for my whole life when they get, they run against some Democrat. And the most they can get is one percent of the vote," he said, noting his "good relationship" with and donations to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Trump last donated to Schumer directly in 2010, though he had made donations ranging from $250 to $2,000 since 1996.
"I mean, I've contributed to Schumer, I contribute - I've known Schumer for many, many years. And I have a good relationship with him. The fact is, that I think it is time maybe that we all do get along," he told Hannity. - Source
The endorsements keep coming in...
Perhaps Trump can run for the Democrat nomination when Hillary is indicted.
Whine all you want, but Trump just took NY from Hillary two night ago.
I can understand why Schumer would be very happy with a president Trump, what I can’t understand is why anyone who calls them self a conservative would.
We are doomed if conservatives can be fooled so easily.
...proving YET AGAIN that Trump has TREMENDOUS cross-over support.
I love it!
My objective Trump supporting bias sees another brilliant tactic by Trump. Whether intended or not, Trump has again broken new political gamesmanship ground, and left everyone in his wake scrambling to figure out what it all means.
In the meantime his poll numbers go up and those of his targeted opponent go down.
This is a non issue, and Trump knows that. Cruz was talking about the Commie mayor and that crowd and the political values of the people who vote them into office. He wasn’t dissing the kind of people who voted against them. Trump’s earlier statement with Russert explains this whole thread. And nobody is playing it. Trump really has changed since 2009... That is what Cruz was really referring to. But only Levin has played that truth and discussed it. If you are not catching Levin, you are missing something very special. What looks confusing becomes totally clear when Mark fills in the political gaps.
The last thing trump wants, or a real conservative would want, is the endorsement of chuckie.
Naturally Up-Chuck Schumer would endorse Trump after receiving money from him in the past. Next, Hillary will endorse him and thank him for the campaign cash he gave her in the past. Democrats stick together. That’s part of those New York values that revolve around money.
So now we have Chuckie Schumer, the drive-by media, all the GOPe, Fox News and every important communist left-wing liberal they can find endorsing and singing praises of Trump. In addition, Trump is telling us how liberal republicans will make great VP’s.
I’m awake but I wonder about the rest of the conservatives.
Do you realize that Schumer and other NY liberals are only praising Trump to sow dissension and boost the other GOPe candidates chances in the race?
They don't give a rat's ass about Trump. They are only doing this to score cheap political points against conservatives.
Yeah, Trump is a liberal...so I'm going to rush into the arms of Christie, Rubio, or Jeb. ROFL
Trump will work for all Americans...not just the NY bankers and Canadians.
They’re jumping on Mr. Cruz for his comments but none of the Progressives who are “outraged” have ever had anything to say about their leader’s comments about the values of “flyover country”.
They’ve described non-Progressives as bumpkins, morons, knuckle-draggers, gun-lovers, bible-thumpers and low-I.Q. idiots, yet they continue to push policies that bring the country to the brink of disaster.
Amazing.

Lol.
I posted this article last night and actually posted a comment to it and it disappeared with no reason listed. ??? title was Trump the Bully
little excerpt:
The best way to beat a trash-talking bully is to convincingly pretend you cannot hear him. Donald Trump, you have met your John Williams. - meaning Cruz.

Did Trump donate to Schumer’s campaign as well?
I grew up solidly conservative and Republican in upstate. If Donald Trump knew the state, he’d know it is not solidly democratic.
Why hasn’t anyone held up Ed Koch’s old comments about upstaters being apple knockers as as example of how NYC people look down their noses at other people? That’s not something I want to see in the White House.
Chuckie and Donald sitting in a tree...
Liberal hacks always stick up for each other.
If Cruz did make an error it was in underestimating the sleaziness of his opposition. In other words, he should have spelled it out more clearly so to avoid any BS like this.

TRUMP: And just so - if I could, because he insulted a lot of people. I've had more calls on that statement that Ted made - New York is a great place. It's got great people, it's got loving people, wonderful people.
When the World Trade Center came down, I saw something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than New York. You had two one hundred...
(APPLAUSE)
... you had two 110-story buildings come crashing down. I saw them come down. Thousands of people killed, and the cleanup started the next day, and it was the most horrific cleanup, probably in the history of doing this, and in construction. I was down there, and I've never seen anything like it.
And the people in New York fought and fought and fought, and we saw more death, and even the smell of death - nobody understood it. And it was with us for months, the smell, the air.
And we rebuilt downtown Manhattan, and everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved New York and loved New Yorkers. And I have to tell you, that was a very insulting statement that Ted made.

Also from the debate...
CRUZ: there are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of New York. But everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro- gay-marriage, focus around money and the media.

I’m Ted Cruz and I approved this message.....
‘Nuff said if Schumer approves.
