Trump is a businessman in NYC. Giving rats money is the cost of doing business.
It’s noise.
Hell, I WISH somebody would pay me to troll.
So if I understand you, even if Trump was 100% conservative, his donating money as the cost of doing business in a Blue state should invalidate his candidacy?
If so he could brief some of the candidates and advise them. Maybe he could be of use that way.
Nearly all of the rich folks donate to candidates in both political parties. That should be common knowledge by now.
But go right ahead. This will be a fun Spectacle to watch. Heh...I wrote “Spectacle.”
Foreign minds in politics. They’re fun to watch with their screeching bandwagon approach and ad hominem antics, especially when they finally resort to limp-wristed fisticuffs. Eventually, they might even start having each other assassinated, like in “the old country.”
It’s known fact TPA which Cruz has been shilling for sets TPP into motion he’s traitor to our Republic as is anyone who votes for it or supports it.
I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.
At least he's never demonstrated any beyond himself and his country.
He's a blowhard carney and American Nationalist.
And, sadly, so far the best man the GOP has put up this cycle.
He and the other candidates...and their respective supporters will surely have a great deal to talk about over the next year.
I may not vote for him or any of the other in the race. And, I'd rot in the gutters of hell before I would vote for a Democrat in any situation.
I am happy that Trump is in the race as now the GOP will have a debate on Immigration, the Wall, Trade and CRONY CAPITALISM. And that's a debate long over due, would you not agree?

Totally false. Not only does the latest version of TPA include new language expressly stating that the House or Senate can dismantle the “fast-track” rules for various “disapproval” reasons, but—even more importantly—Congress has always retained this power because it has plenary authority over its rules of procedure, including “fast track.”
The new TPA, like previous versions before it, acknowledges this fact in Sec. 106(c), which states that the fast-track rules are enacted as “as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of Representatives and the Senate,” but “with the full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedures of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as any other rule of that House.” The CRS summary of TPA reiterates this fact: “Congress reserves its constitutional right to withdraw or override the expedited procedures for trade implementing bills, which can take effect with a vote by either House of Congress.”
Such power is not merely theoretical. It is precisely what then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi did to the Colombia FTA in 2008 after President Bush submitted its implementing legislation. Her move effectively dismantled the “fast track” procedures and thus delayed congressional consideration of the agreement indefinitely.
In short, Congress retains total control over the FTA implementation process under TPA and can only be bound by the “fast track” rules if it wants to be bound.
Sensing a theme here yet?
