You're just a lazy zealot.
I also agree that the sky is blue and water is wet.
I think people complaining about something while doing the exact same thing is becoming my biggest pet peeve.
Like someone who complains about corporate America destroying the environment while throwing a cigarette butt out the window of their car.

Strictly speaking, I don't think I'm a zealot.
a person who has very strong feelings about something (such as religion or politics) and who wants other people to have those feelings : a zealous person
I don't give a fuck about anyone's feelings. I want to keep a retard out of public office.

Perfect example of a

I recommend you completely avoid the internet until you get over that.

I laughed.
As for Trump,
he's changing his tune.
"Unexpectedly"? Really? I think most people with an IQ above 10 knew he'd eventually start pandering more if he was in a position to actually win the election.

I think it's unexpected in the sense that people have been expecting it to come for months, and it never came...

Sometimes I wonder if he's running on a dare and all of a sudden he realized he might win and is now taking it seriously.

One can change Donald Trump's tune like one changes Teddy Ruxspin's -- just insert a new cassette and press play.

I'll admit, I didn't see this endorsement coming.
And as a vet, she's pretty fucking spot on about benefits for vets verses benefits for illegals.

Trump legal theory:
Judge can't be unbiased where Trump's involved because he's Mexican. However, Trump's lawyers donating to Hillary's campaign has no effect on their bias or ability to defend him.
The lawyer defending Trump in the case, Daniel Petrocelli, has donated to Clinton and several Democrats over the years, Yahoo News' Mike Isikoff noted. The Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political donations, says that in January, Petrocelli donated $2,700, the maximum amount allowable for a contribution to Hillary Clinton's presidential primary campaign. Isikoff had also reported that Petrocelli had been hired by Trump a month earlier, in December 2015. Further, Petrocelli's law firm, O'Melveny & Myers, has given nearly $20,000 to her campaign, Yahoo News reported.

Does anyone here contribute to any election campaigns?

I'm pretty sure my tax dollars have ended up paying for someone's reelection at some point. But willingly? No. The only people I'd give cash to have no chance of winning.

I'm too lazy to graph this.
In 2004, 167 African Americans delegates attended the RNC convention as President George W. Bush was renominated. In 2008, 36 African Americans attended as delegates as Sen. John McCain was nominated to run against then-Sen. Barack Obama, and in 2012 there were 28 African American delegates as Mitt Romney was nominated.
...
There will be 18 Republican African-American delegates at the Republican National Convention in July in Cleveland, Ohio according to the Republican National Committee. It will be the lowest GOP total of Black delegates in the last three presidential cycles.
That last sentence is disturbing because it implies going back four election cycles might uncover a lower number than 18.

I donated to Cruz. More than once. First time I ever have.
On Trump news today, I heard he was meeting with some big donors at Trump tower today trying to get them to open their pocketbooks. I'd pay good money for a couple of them to start tweeting tonight, "Trump came to me and was begging for money like a dog. Sad."

I think I gave $20 to the Libertarians once sometime in the 90s.

Not that one.
If Satan was running, I would not be surprised by your endorsement.

Not that I can recall. I might have voted or supported Stranger's bid for political office.

Pray Cuban is there then. All other rich folks will happily buy a politician...I mean, contribute to making America great again.

Exactly the response I was going for.
If he so chooses, he can tell the story.

I'd vote for Stranger for President, sure.
