Meet the Republicans Speaking Out Against Trump.
Norm Coleman is a former U.S. senator from Minnesota.


Norm Coleman: I will never vote for Donald Trump
He's a bigot, a misogynist, a fraud and a bully.

I won't vote for Donald Trump.
I won't vote for Donald Trump because of who he isn't.

He isn't a Republican. He isn't a conservative. He isn't a truth teller.

He's not a uniter. Donald Trump isn't the leader America needs after eight years of a president who deliberately divided us and fanned the flames of racial and socioeconomic strife — and, by doing so, diminished America's standing in the world.

I also won't vote for Donald Trump because of who he is.
A bigot. A misogynist. A fraud. A bully.

Who Donald Trump is should have been at the core of his campaign for president of the United States.

Instead, what Trump wanted us to believe is a marketing package that has been sold to the American people.

He is accused of stealing $40 million from thousands of fellow Americans through a phony "college" — promising opportunity to achieve the American Dream. He has left in his wake failed enterprises such as Trump Airlines, Trump Mortgage and Trump Vodka. His multiple corporate bankruptcies have left scores of "little guys" — suppliers — with unpaid bills. He is not to be trusted with billions of dollars from the hardworking labor of millions of other fellow Americans.

When a man mocks the disabled, dismisses the valor and honor of America's veterans, such as Sen. John McCain, and defames the last Republican commander-in-chief, he is not to be trusted to lead our nation's military in times of peace or war.

There is a coarseness to Trump that degrades the political discourse, such as when he calls women "fat pigs" or attacks a female reporter by a not-so-subtle reference to her menstrual cycle.

And any man who declines to renounce the affections of the KKK and David Duke should not be trusted to lead America. Ever.

We have been deceived by a con artist. A fraud wrapped in the veneer of being a businessman, who has slapped a slogan on a baseball cap and is closer to being president of the United States than any bigot, misogynist, fraud and bully in modern American history.

Republican leaders are to blame. Of this there is no doubt. Republicans like me and others who could not believe or comprehend that anyone would take Donald Trump seriously.

Republicans like me and others who did not understand just how angry, bitter, frustrated and anxious millions of Americans are about the future of our nation and their own economic and personal safety.

Americans are hungry for a strong leader. And yes, Trump projects strength. But his embrace of Putin, his lauding the butchery of Tiananmen Square, and the praise he evokes from French fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen — the founder of France's National Front — and American fascist David Duke, signal a strength that is inconsistent with American ideals of justice and liberty.

It's still not too late to stop Donald Trump from winning the GOP nomination for president. I am an optimist and still hope that millions of Americans supporting Trump today will tomorrow recognize the poison in who he is. There are many delegates still to be chosen.

But it's also not too late for me and others to make it clear that under no circumstances will we support Donald Trump for president.

Who my choice may be if Donald Trump is the standard-bearer under the rules of the Republican Party, I do not know. I know it won't be Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

And I know it will never be Donald Trump.

When Trump refused to condemn the embrace of the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke and then tried to blame his moral failing on a faulty earpiece, it became clear that it is not in his ear where there is a problem — it is in his heart.

It is said that our leaders are a reflection of who we are.

If we believe that, then people like Donald Trump will fall.

If not, then people like Donald Trump will rise up, and like every fascist before them, will lead a nation to its doom.

America is a great nation. We were a great nation long before Donald Trump sold us on a slogan — and we can be a great nation without Trump's false promises built on a legacy of fiction.

Keep America great.

Fire Donald Trump.

That's how it works. You pay money. You get education. If you are stupid, you will fail even if you are educated. If you are stupid enough to spend your money unwisely, then that is your own fault.

Unions prepare super PAC to take down Trump
By Brian Mahoney and Kenneth P. Vogel 05/11/16
Top labor unions are finalizing a new super PAC that will solicit cash from outside donors to take down Donald Trump in key battleground states.

The super PAC is engineered by top officials at the AFL-CIO and three major public employee unions: the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; the American Federation of Teachers; and the National Education Association. The Service Employees International Union considered joining the PAC but has since opted out.
Unions may opt in for $1 million, sources say. The PAC's organizers aim to raise about $50 million by soliciting money from unions and liberal donors outside the labor movement.

Super PACs are prohibited from donating to individual candidates or coordinating their media spending with political campaigns, but they may raise unlimited sums from individuals, corporations and unions to support or oppose candidates. They proliferated after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision cleared the way for a 2010 appellate decision that ended limits on contributions to independent-expenditure committees.
The new super PAC would not be the first funded by labor unions. But it represents a departure because in the past union-run super PACs have been funded almost entirely by the unions themselves. Unions have donated frequently to liberal super PACs outside the labor movement, but non-labor donors have seldom contributed to union-run super PACs. The new super PAC is intended to reverse that flow.
All the unions involved in the new venture have endorsed Hillary Clinton. Read more

Bill Clinton and his globalism is what cost millions of American jobs. Trump is against that. Trump is good for American workers. These unions do not speak for blue collar workers. These are union bosses who steal money from workers and get fat cat rich themselves. They are oligarchs and oppressors.

 

[RabzonKhan]

Bill Clinton and his globalism is what cost millions of American jobs.

Okay, here is a little challenge for you, give me one example of when the Republican Party opposed any international trade agreement?

Let me share something interesting with you, Bill Clinton is credited for signing the NAFTA agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico, but do you know, actually it was the senior Bush administration that negotiated and signed the first agreement and that was even before Clinton became president.

Trump is against that. Trump is good for American workers. These unions do not speak for blue collar workers. These are union bosses who steal money from workers and get fat cat rich themselves. They are oligarchs and oppressors.

Are you talking about the same Trump,

Whose company was fined by the court for hiring illegal Polish construction workers,.

Whose companies turned down 94% of American job applicants, in favor of foreign workers.

Whose company applied to bring waitresses, cooks and other laborers into the country on foreign workers visas.

Whose branded merchandise, suits, neckties and shirts are made in China.


He is a sociopathic liar and a hypocrite!

Cheers!

Donald Trump’s supporters!

Scott Leader (left) and Steve Leader (right).


The anti-immigrant sentiments at the heart of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign hit home for Boston early Wednesday, and the leading GOP candidate wasn’t nearly as contrite about it as he should have been.

According to police, a 58-year-old Mexican immigrant sleeping outside the JFK/UMass MBTA station was attacked by two South Boston brothers who were on their way home from a Red Sox game. State Police say Steven and Scott Leader both urinated on the man and beat him with a metal pole.

After they were arrested, one of them admiringly quoted his political hero. “Donald Trump was right; all these illegals need to be deported,” Scott Leader said.

Obviously, Trump isn’t personally responsible for the alleged behavior of two men in another state. But his reaction to hearing of the alleged beating of a Hispanic man was hardly worthy of a candidate for the Oval Office.

“It would be a shame. . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

Got that? They’re passionate. But allegedly urinating on a homeless, sleeping man and breaking his ribs has nothing to do with making America great again. Quite the opposite, actually.

@AgNoStiC MuSliM ,
hey, if my memory serves me right, in 2008 elections you volunteered for Obama. What’s your views on the current elections?

 

[RabzonKhan]

Only in Third World countries corrupt politicians try to avoid releasing their tax returns, since the crooks have a lot to hide, what’s Trump hiding?

Hillary Clinton's campaign is keeping up its attacks on Donald Trump's refusal to release his tax returns.

The former secretary of state's campaign on Saturday released a web video asking what the presumptive GOP nominee could be hiding in the documents. The clip mentions that every single presidential nominee since 1976 has released his tax returns, before showing occasions where Trump has previously said he'd release them.

The video shows Trump saying he'd release his tax returns if President Barack Obama released his birth certificate and if he ran for office. Both conditions have been met -- but Trump has yet to release his returns.
The clip also shows Trump saying he is thinking about releasing his tax returns and another occasion when he said he can't because he is under audit.

Saturday's video continues a line of attack Clinton has deployed against Trump this week. Speaking in New Jersey on Wednesday, Clinton asked why Trump has not put out more information about how much he makes and pays in taxes.

"Because when you run for president, especially when you become the nominee, that is kind of expected," Clinton said. "My husband and I have released 33 years of tax returns, we've got eight years on our website right now. So you have got to ask yourself, why does he not release them?"

On Wednesday, Trump told The Associated Press that he would not release his tax returns until his audits are complete. Given that he says his tax returns since 2009 are still under audit, it is highly unlikely Trump will release anything before the November 2016 election if he sticks to that reasoning.

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos pressed Trump Friday on why he won't release his tax returns until audits of them are complete, considering that he has previously released them for potential casino deals under similar circumstances. The Internal Revenue Service has said nothing precludes someone under audit from disclosing their returns.

"It's none of your business, you'll see it when I release. But I fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible," Trump replied on "Good Morning America" when asked about his tax rate.
Trump said he did not think the American people needed to see his tax returns.
"I don't think they do, but I do say this: I will really gladly give them. They're not going to learn anything, but it's under routine audit," he said. "You learn very little from tax returns."

American oil tycoon backs Trump's Muslim ban

US oil magnate and businessman T.Boone Pickens supported Trump and his plan to ban unvetted Muslim immigrants at the SALT conference

Oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens endorsed Donald Trump’s US presidential campaign and supported the candidate’s controversial proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the US in the interest of national security.

Speaking at the SALT conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Pickens said he agrees with Trump that Muslims should be banned from entering the country while they are vetted. “Cut them off till we can figure out who they are,” he told reporters at the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference.

On Trump, Islamophobia and hate speech

Pickens is not worried about the economic consequences of banning Muslims. “We’ve got plenty of people here. We’ve got a good economy and Muslims coming into the US, I don’t see that as impacting the economy at all.”

Legal scholars have debated the move. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, is widely criticised by even members of his own party for wanting to ban Muslim immigrants.

Late last year, Trump proposed a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the country, saying the hatred among them was “beyond comprehension”. This provoked outrage across the political arena, but the billionaire businessman and former reality television star has not backed down from his stance in recent months.

Some distanced themselves from the Muslim ban idea. Dick Cheney, former US vice-president, said “the stance goes against everything we stand for and believe in”.

Muslim-American group condemns Donald Trump’s praise of ‘pig’s blood’ technique to stop terrorists

Sam Zell, another billionaire who has donated to Republican candidates this election cycle, sided with Cheney. “The idea of studying anybody based on religion is insane,” he told the audience at SALT. He said that Trump showed up at a time when people were fed up.

Recently appointed London Mayor Sadiq Khan slammed Trump’s stance as “ignorant”. He warned that the policy is something that could make the US and UK “less safe”.

But Pickens acknowledges that Trump is not a typical White House contender. “I’m ready to take a chance on it,” said Pickens. “People are fed up, fed up with Washington and politicians.”

Hispanics hate Trump? National poll looks into it–and gets a BIGTIME reality check

Sit down liberals, this is going to come as a shock to you.

A new poll showed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump with a sizeable lead over Hillary Clinton among Hispanic voters, the Daily Caller reported.

The One America News / Gravis Marketing poll tapped 1,500 registered voters, ten percent of whom were Hispanic. It has a plus or minus 2.5 percent margin of error.

The poll did find some slightly good news for Democrats as it showed Clinton leading Trump 51 to 49 percent when the two candidates were the only options.

The numbers changed to a 48 to 46 percent lead when “other” was available as a choice.

Trump and Clinton both grabbed at least 85 percent support among their parties as well, a damaging hit to the idea that the #NeverTrump campaign would have any real impact on the general election.

Clinton’s small lead fell within the margin or error and is a far cry from the landslide victory for Clinton many in the media were quick to predict.

Clinton did maintain a big advantage with African-Americans who broke for her at a rate of 87 percent.

It should be noted that the poll was conducted on May 10, early in the race before Trump really had a chance to hammer Clinton on her negatives.

Equally troubling for Clinton, Hispanic voters know the difference between illegal immigrants and all Hispanics, despite the Democrat machine’s rigorous attempts to tie the two together.

I can never vote for a demagogue, you see, in Pakistan people like me are called “liberal fascist”, but Trump sees no difference between me and religious terrorists like the Isis, and that really pisses me off, and then his foreign policy scares the hell out of me(wants to dismantle NATO and encourage South Korea and Japan to develop nuclear weapons, has a soft corner for Putin), and if he has his way, we’ll become damn isolated like North Korea.

Never Trump!

A pair of new ads out Monday, from pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA, go on the attack against presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, skewering the candidate for his treatment of women.

One ad, titled "Speak," features women mouthing along with Trump's previous comments about women, as an audio track of Trump speaking plays.

"You could see there was blood coming out of her, wherever," one woman says.

Another mouths: "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

"Does Donald Trump really speak for you?" the ad's narrator asks.

Speak

Respect

Does anyone else find it strange that all of the countries that are funding global terrorist organizations (ISIS) have endorsed Hillary Clinton? @C130 @XenoEnsi-14 @Hamartia Antidote

ISIS, I mean, Saudi Arabia Endorses Hillary Clinton

​

The Clinton Foundation is receiving contributions from foreign governments, as Hillary Clinton gets ready for the 2016 presidential campaign.

According to The Wall Street Journal, donors include the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia, Germany, and a Canadian government.

Hillary Clinton re-joined the foundation after leaving the State Department in 2013 and has fronted a $250 million endowment campaign, Fox News Reported.

The Journal has reported that foreign donors doubled in 2014:

-UAE donated between $1 million and $5 million last year.
-Germany gave between $100,000 and $250,000.
-Saudi Arabia, which has contributed at least $10 million since the foundation’s founding in 1999.

Does this sound strange to you?

Why is Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE interested in funding Clinton’s possible presidential campaign?
