Quid pro quo...Trump style...

So...speaking of buying influence... Trump tries to get his money's worth...
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had previously endorsed Jeb Bush, endorsed Donald Trump at a Tampa rally today, the final day before the Florida primary tomorrow...
...Three years ago, Bondi declined to join an investigation into Trump University and subsequently received a hefty campaign contribution, raising some eyebrows. In 2013, a spokeswoman for the attorney general's office said Bondi was reviewing allegations in a lawsuit filed by the New York state attorney general against Trump University, which offered financial management seminars in exchange for significant up-front fees. Three days later, the Donald J. Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to "And Justice for All," a political fundraising committee working for Bondi's re-election.

Not true of Hillary herself however. This nonsense only came from some of her supporters, as you correctly said. You know, those stupid groupies that are probably now Trump fans? Trump was the one who latched onto it like it like it was an actual fact.

And did Hillary deny those supporters who promoted the birther issue?

Did Trump ever come out and say he was wrong? Nope.
Here's how Trump has evolved. First, it was this:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/donald-tru ... -1.1221154
Obama was born in Kenya.
Then this:
http://www.designntrend.com/articles/14 ... ollege.htm
Obama pretended to be born in Kenya in order to get financial aid for college.
Now this:
http://nation.foxnews.com/donald-trump/ ... hes-muslim
Trump wrote:"People have birth certificates. He doesn't have a birth certificate. He may have one but there's something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim. I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want that. Or he may not have one."
As of September, he still wouldn't correct some supporter who claimed Obama was a Muslim. At least McCain had the temerity to correct some lady who spouted the same ignorant bulls**t during one of his campaign rallies. Trump to this day still believes Obama is either a Muslim or a Kenyan.

You got to love Trump who is not the Oily, unctuous career politician that you are used to TC. You like when you are sold snake oil only to find out it is best used for stripping paint .

so, this is your justification for backing a fake sleazeball who exhorts people to violence, stirs up finger-pointing at 'others' and has yet to produce a single, coherent plan of what he'd do. I view it pretty simply. Trump 'speaks his mind'. So does my second cousin, when he's been drinking. I would wish neither to be in control of a nuclear arsenal any more than I would a rabid squirrel. Either Dem candidate is preferable to a rabid squirrel, so they get the nod from here.

Your cousin make a multi-billion dollar fortune? No? Why would anyone listen to him.

no, nor was he given 200 million to start with, nor does he lie flagrantly about his net worth.
No? Why would anyone listen to him.
why would someone's financial net worth(leaving aside the fact that Trumps claims are bogus) become worth listening to in regards to being President of the US? It isn't a business position at all.

Geezus, it's going to be hilarious when your spray-tanned boy goes down in flames. If he loses either Florida or Ohio tonight, that tailspin starts, because there is no way he emerges from the convention with the nomination.

That's right woody. Totally ignore the fact that Trump is STILL an idiot birther who STILL can't admit he's dead wrong about an old issue that Hillary herself never even
personally brought up. If that doesn't fit the definition of an oily slimebag, I don't know what does.
And slick's link just proved my point.

Lol, the president is not “in control of a nuclear arsenal”.
The president does not have a briefcase that he can use to target Middle Eastern cities, and start launching missiles. And he can't just pick a phone and order up a launch either.
The president DOES have a briefcase containing launch authorization codes and does have the ability to authorize a launch, but does not “control” a nuclear arsenal.

I don't even want him having
access to the authorization codes or the authority to issue them. What lunacy.

Well the codes wouldn't work unless they'd let Hillary Clinton out of the sanatorium where she was howling at the moon. Would congress impeach a mad baying woman for fear of offending Lycanthropes ? Probably not.
