Yes, we do.

To be honest about that, it wasn't a donation to Cruz, it was a donation to the the Jobs, Growth and Freedom Fund that Cruz started but wasn't for his campaign. That PAC was specifically to promote defunding Obamacare and supported many candidates.

A Cruz PAC.  How many liberals endorse Republican candidates and financially support the Republican party?



Hotel magnate Donald Trump donated $5,000 to Sen. Ted Cruz’s leadership PAC in January, according to new campaign records.

Trump’s show of support for the Texas Republican's leadership PAC — the maximum allowed under the law per election cycle — is an indication that the men are becoming political allies.

During the 2012 election season, GOP presidential hopefuls made visits to Trump Tower in New York City to court the billionaire, who eventually endorsed Mitt Romney.

The Federal Election Committee’s (FEC) individual donor database has not yet been updated to include the donation, but it shows that Trump also gave $1,000 to Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) in March.

FEC records show Trump has donated more than $127,000 during this election cycle so far, including to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) and $50,000 to the Kentuckians for Strong Leadership political action committee.

That article is actually pretty revealing about that because it shows pretty much all the Republican donations he made that are referenced to, came all at one time- not over his history. It was like in 2012, he started dumping donations to any and every Republican PAC he could find.

One could surmise he was trying to balance out his long history of giving to Democrats, possibly because he was considering a run on the Republican ticket in 2012.

Trump  has contributed nearly a million dollars to the Republican party vs. less than a half million to the Democrat party over the last 26 years.

Still that doesn't address Abaraxas' point.  And if as some say, it was for business reasons, what does that say about any core values he may have?
It's the Supreme Court nominations!

I shudder to think that Hillary Clinton should be allowed to select one or more justices of the Supreme Court.  I know the type of a justice she will nominate.  Still wiping the stench off of myself after a long relationship with FR,  but can't let the stench cloud my judgement.

You have a problem with facts? Just because you don't like what is posted doesn't make me a spammer. Should I classify you with an insult?

I was banned from FR years ago. I never looked back. Cliques were never my thing. The place got to be like a junior high playground.

Some do, some do not.  I would agree that those of us who are FR refugees should make an extra effort to maintain civility, especially when discussing something with someone with whom we disagree.

Civility is good.  :beer:

Flowers, proof of what?  I expressed an opinion and asked Lert to correct me if was wrong.  Looks like he confirmed what I said.

You used the wrong attack method on this one.

So far, so good.

I haven't seen a single clique here from FR.  I think the complainer is just upset that so many intelligent, articulate people who don't support Trump have arrived on the scene to systematically dismantle his faux conservatism......

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Why is asking a question considered an "attack" by some? Unless of course the question is about a posters sanity, sexuality, etc., which Flowers certainly wasn't.
