Donald Trump, Ted Cruz Campaigns Bash RNC for Stacking Audience with Pro-Amnesty Donor Class
Breitbart ^ | 02/1/16 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 02/13/2016 11:11:00 PM PST by Enlightened1

Repeatedly throughout the debate, the audience cheered as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his protegé

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) consistently and repeatedly made the case to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, while the audience oddly booed both Trump and
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as they made eloquent cases against amnesty.

“I don’t think it’s representative of the people of South Carolina,” Lewandowski added. “Those who don’t have the resources to give large sums of money to the RNC didn’t get a ticket here tonight and that’s a shame on the RNC.”

Trump’s campaign was hardly the only one upset with how the debate turned out as it relates to how audience tickets are handed out. Both Reps.

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC)

and

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)

bashed the establishment for stacking the audience with donor class folks not representative of America or of South Carolina’s electorate. Duncan and Meadows have both endorsed Cruz for president and were representing his campaign in the spin room.

“I was a little disappointed in CBS and the moderators in that they kind of let the debate and the crowd get out of control,” Duncan told Breitbart News, adding that the pro-amnesty cheers and boos aren’t representative of his state.

“It doesn’t represent the voters of South Carolina,” Duncan said. “Definitely, the room was stacked for Rubio—there’s no doubt about it, especially from where I was sitting

It's so nice to live in a democracy, or a republic, or what have you and having everyone have an equal voice.

Nice that they could agree on something.

I didn’t see or hear the debate tonight. I tried to follow the live thread, but it was just painful to see Freepers ripping each other to shreds.

Can give me a rough paraphrase of Trump’s closing remarks?

Thanks.

Same here. May God help us all, though heaven knows we probably don’t deserve it.

i am heartbroken and full of anger at what I read on twitter. I closed the account.

Not only do they hate Scalia with a passion because of his gay marriage stance, every single black and hispanic person on the board was MORE PREJUDICED than anyone I have ever known, against Italians!!!

They said Scalia and Alito are connected and Gotti and Gravano are the real Italians. In other words, the only names they ever read in a newspaper.

It sickened me because they say we are prejudiced but they take the cake.

I reckoning is coming, and these stupid adolescent thinking morons have NO IDEA the sting that non minorities can have when pushed too far.

I tried to reach out too like a sucker, only to be insulted over and over.

Now I’m glad for every punch i got in during the race riots at highs school when i was a teen.

One time though, my friend Chris and I were sitting across from a bunch of Peurto Ricans talking rowdy and he said “man, you ####s never shut the #### up!”

there was about eight of them and all our Italian friends were cutting or in class. What a beating we caught lol.

If that’s what it is, then that’s what it is.

I dont put it past obama to kill a SC member. Jarrett? definitely.

And even though they likely didn’t, he was “ecstatic” over it?!

He just crossed the line in my book.

They get their justice in this year and it’s over.

and the way the f...t whites and the minorities were bad mouthing Scalia on Twitter, I’m more than ready to dance.

My cousin’s family is Italian, but I didn’t know that anyone really hated Italians. I knew the left hated him because of his Conservative stances, however.

“Now I’m glad for every punch i got in during the race riots at highs school when i was a teen.”

Haha, that sounds like a great story.

They even booed when Trump said he lost 100 friends on 9-11.
*************************
Not because he lost friends, but because he was blaming GW Bush. Bill Clinton ignored the intelligence and refused to take out Osama when he could have in the late ‘90s, but Trump ignored that fact.

i dont think whites have anything against Italians. Irish and Italian didn’t get along once but that was a hundred years ago.

I KNOW blacks and puerto ricans hate us.

I’ve seen and ran into it over and over and over in NYC with them. Spanish and black men and women either didn’t like us or thought we were all John Gotti.

Even a lot of white liberals i worked with would hear of 40 murders by blacks but one mob hit or Italian beating on a minority and they would rub it in my face for weeks.

They have to have a boogey man. We are it.

But they’re not stupid either. There were no riots on Staten Island when that fat guy died in that police clutch.

They protested in Manhattan instead where the metrosexuals are.

Because we would have given them a one way ticket to ICU.

and that’s not a college :)

********************************
In all of the debates, I rate each candidate with positives for good replies or negatives for not answering the question or for attacking another person. For the closings, I give letter grades.

Sat. night, the closing grades I gave were: Cruz and Rubio both got a B. All the rest got a C.

Overall, Rubio again spouted a lot of memorized lines; Carson kept reading his replies from notes on the podium (did he know the questions in advance?); Bush had a stacked audience and kept talking about his past; Kasich continued to talk about his past! ....All four are useless!

I knew that the Italians and Irish used to have beef with one another during the gangster days, and I knew that the Irish were discriminated against in the past, but I didn’t think the Italians really had those kind of issues. I’m from CA though, so maybe that has something to do with it.

“... a Luca Brasi kind of mood ...”

Sorry, I don’t know what a Luca Brasi kind of mood is.

But, it doesn’t sound good.

they have no real power so it doesn’t affect us at all.

They run no major businesses, have some political power but nothing near being able to ostracize any group. That’s a joke

And they fear us because we dont fear them at all.

To be fair, I worked with six black women in a graphics department and they were great. They teased me about being Italian but it was in good fun.

And a black and peurto rican woman helped me get approved for free graphics classes that led to my career.

Nothing is ever black and white.

But alot dont like us.

One councilwoman in the Bronx called another woman in a high position terrible names and had her fired.

When she found out the woman was hispanic, her excuse was “I thought she was italian”

an there are educational books like “Al Capone Ties my shoes”

Imagine if i wrote a book called “Rico does my lawn”?

But like I said, they hold no sway and we would crush them if they ever pushed the issue.

The Godfather’s strong man.

He had a nursemaid throw his half Irish child in a furnace because it wasn’t full Italian.

He tied up two men, and while sawing one apart, the other choked to death on his gag.
