The "Donald"...as I knew him

VOTE AS YOU WISH, AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT TRUMP - - A personal note from Peter Ticktin who knows the guy from high school:

As a law firm, we at The Ticktin Law Group do not like to get involved in politics. As soon as we endorse one side, we risk alienating everyone on the other side. Also, our lawyers and staff are, themselves, on both sides. Politics is not our game. However, Justice is!

If you saw a guy get publicly smeared, and you knew him well from the days you were friends and seniors together in high school, if you knew him to be a decent and honest man, would you want to say something? This is why I need to share what I know.

I was aghast at watching last night's debate. It was a set-up. The moderators, Cruz, and Rubio were all like little alligators trying to take a bite out of Trump. Yes, Donald Trump has had some failures, but he has been exceedingly successful. None of this came out. Instead, there was a general attack. Rubio simply makes up lies. He pretends that Trump has small hands and makes fun of him for something which isn't even real. He pretends that Donald wets his pants, and makes fun of him, as though it was true, and then he calls Donald Trump a "Bully."

I am not suggesting that you should vote or not vote for anyone. I just need to defend a former friend who is being smeared.

Like Donald Trump, I attended New York Military Academy ("NYMA") for high school. In fact, in our senior year, together, Donald was my captain, and I was his 1st Platoon Sergeant. I sometimes joke that I ran his first company for him, Company "A."

People don't really change much from the ages of 17 and 18, and I know this guy. I know him to be a good decent guy. We lived and breathed an Honor Code in those years. It wasn't just a rule. It was our way of life. Neither Donald, nor any other cadet who graduated with us would ever lie, cheat, or steal from a fellow cadet. These values became irreversibly intertwined in the fabric of our personalities, of who we are.

Of the 99 guys (no girls in those days) in our class, there is not one who I know who has a bad word to say about Donald Trump. Think of it. With all the jealousies which arise in high school and thereafter, with all the potential envy, not one of us has anything other than positive memories of this man. How could we? He was an "A" student, a top athlete, and as a leader, he was highly respected. We never feared him, yet we never wanted to disappoint him. He had our respect. He was never a bigot in any way, shape or form. He only hates those who hate. Of course he denounces the KKK.

As to the discussion with the New York Times, it is his choice to release the 'off the record' remarks. However, if he does, it opens the door for all political opposition to make that demand for everyone, and that means that our press will never get those 'off the record' remarks which help them to understand the realities of the campaign. Moreover, the idea that Donald Trump confessed some alternate theory of his position is preposterous. Can anyone believe that all those NY Times reporters are walking around knowing some deep dark nasty secret about a guy who is seeking an endorsement?

The Republican establishment is afraid of Donald Trump. Why? They are afraid that he will lose to Hillary. They don't hate Donald. They hate her. They are so fearful that they fail to see that by expanding the base of voters for Trump, he is more likely to win.

Watching the chorus of whiners, decriers, denigrators, and self-righteous put-down experts from so many directions, from Mit Romney, to Megyn Kelly, Little Mario, it has to make you wonder. Why? Why are so many people so angry with Donald Trump, that they are lying, name calling, ridiculing, and demeaning him as they do. Either they are afraid, or they know him to be evil.

This is why I feel the need to speak out at this time. I know this man. He is a lot of things, but he is not evil. He is a decent honest guy who loves this country, and who is willing to sacrifice so much of what is left of his life, because he knows that this country needs to be fixed, and that it is going to require someone who can do the job. He just doesn't see anything around him other than political hacks, so he is willing to take this huge responsibility.

I'm not saying that he is the only one who can do the job. My point is simply as to his motivation and his goodness.

This next decade is going to be one of major changes. We all see the climate changing, and the world food supply is getting lower. Our fish stock around the world is running low. Oil prices will cause countries to fail. The Middle East is beyond repair, and we have become weak and ineffective around the world. Donald Trump sees the issues and knows that he can assemble leaders who would have the best chance of fixing things. This is why he is running. He does not need it for his own aggrandizement. He doesn't need another big jet or to take up residence in the White House. He just wants things to be fixed, and he knows that the politicians won't fix anything.

I knew Donald Trump and was close to him in our senior year in high school. I just want you to know that there is nothing to fear from him. His character is as good as it gets. He is a patriot, taking on a heroic task, and being thanked by massive abuse.

If you want to see a true reflection of a man, look at his children. Need I say more?

It doesn’t matter who you support for President in 2016. This letter will make you want to stand up and cheer for the 80 year old American who expresses what most of us are feeling right now. Enjoy…

RNC
P.O. Box 96994
Washington DC 20090-6994

Dear Representative,

From the time I was able to vote I voted Republican. I am 80 years old, and have a great deal of respect and influence with hundreds of senior ball players who also network with thousands of others around the country.

I received your questionnaire and request for money and strongly agree with every question, as I have since Obama was elected. Unfortunately the one question that was missing is “What have the Republicans done for the American people?” We gave you a majority in the House and Senate, yet you never listened to us. Now you want our money.

You should be more concerned about our votes, not our money. You are the establishment, which means all you want is to save your jobs and line your pockets… Well guess what? “It’s not going to happen” You shake in your boots when I tell you we’re giving our support to TRUMP and he hasn’t asked for a dime.

You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self destruction course, but you need to look beyond Washington and listen to the masses. Nobody has achieved what he has, especially in the liberal state of New York.

You clearly don’t understand why the Trump movement is so strong, so I’d like to share with you an analogy to help explain the Trump phenomenon. By the way, it’s not just the Republicans who feel ignored and disrespected, there are plenty of Democrats and Independents who also feel let down by the Washington elite. You seem to have  forgotten about “We The People” and who hired you to represent us.

So here it is, the best analogy I could come up with. Here is the reason so many Americans have boarded the Trump Train, and why you’re pleas to come back to the party who deserted us, is falling on deaf ears:

You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately…You call the city and four different exterminators, but nobody could handle the job.

There is this one guy however, who guarantees you he will get rid of them, so you hire him. You don’t care if the guy smells, you don’t care if the guy swears, you don’t care how many times he’s been married, you don’t care if he was friends with liberals, you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He’s the guy. He’s the best. Period. 

Here’s why we want Trump: Yes he’s a bit of an ass, yes he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians have become too self-serving. The Republican Party is two-faced & gutless. Illegal aliens have been allowed to invade our nation. We want it all fixed! We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he insults people, we don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t care that he’s been married three times, we don’t care that he fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, we don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorist.

This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal aliens and bringing tens of thousands of Muslim refugees to America, while leaving Christians behind to be persecuted. We are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is part of a special group with special rights, to the point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED” and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.

We’re sick of politicians. We’re sick of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. We just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but he isn’t beholden to lobbyist money and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. All we know is that he has been very successful, he’s an excellent negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s also not a politician. He’s definitely not a cowardly politician. When he says he’ll fix it, we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

Oh yeah…I forgot…we don’t care if the guy has bad hair either. 

We just want those raccoons gone.

Out of your house.

NOW!

 How come Neil Bush, Jeb's brother, has just joined Ted Cruz's campaign? He's part of Common Core!! "Those who are eager to use these data banks are the companies that are producing Common Core-aligned textbooks and tests. Some, like Neil Bush’s Ignite!Learning, are relative newcomers to the lucrative business of educational publishing and testing. Neil Bush (George and Jeb’s younger brother) raised $23 million from U.S. investors (including his parents), and at least $3 million from Saudi interests to set up Ignite! The company says it develops “easy-to-use teacher-led digital content based instructional systems” that align to “state, Common Core, and local standards"                                         quoted on Florida Stop Common Core Coalition

http://www.flstopcccoalition.org/news/2014-03/florida-author-gushta...

First Heidi Cruz helped write and approved of the CFR paper Building a North American Community. And now Ted is bringing in Jeb's brother with ties to Common Core. Why? Is TED lying to us again - TED was supposed to be against Common Core and open borders. Trump's winning, building a wall which makes every establishment politician mad, said he would stop Common Core and isn't taking money from anyone.

We ALL need to vote Trump. Ted can't be trusted!!!!!

Patty, you're able to pick those issues for Cruz and Rubio that should stick in the CRAW of EVERY REAL CONSERVATIVE.

TRUMP has his "issues" but he's the furthest candidate from the "establishment" Republicans, and he owes NO allegiance/money to any LOBBYist.

I found this old post from 2010 by Sandra - She was always so sweet and she is truly missed. 

Will American Sovereignty Withstand the Onslaught of Global Government Forces?

“The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down…but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old
fashioned frontal assault.” CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the
April l974 issue of the CFR’s journal, Foreign Affairs.

[Patty]

This IS personal. I came to Real Conservatives and other sites and I told people about Marco and asked them to support him with votes, phone banking and money. Marco LIED to the wrong Irish girl!!! Everyone supporting Cruz needs to go look who he is aligning himself with - Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush's staff and now Jeb Bush's brother. Did you know that Heidi Cruz helped write and approved of the CFR paper Building A North American Community? That's the one question that Ted wouldn't answer when he ran for senate - DO you Ted support your wife Heidi's paper Building a North American Union? A simple yes or no and he talked for 6 minutes and didn't answer the question. When Ted talks about biometrics - it's in this paper calling for a trinational union between Mexico, US and Canada. Read what Phyllis Schaffly wrote in 2005:

http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2005/july05/05-07-13.html

NO wonder Vincente Fox came out swearing at Trump. He made a deal with Bush and now Donald wants to end it. Fox said the union would be complete by 2023.

So if you want the US to build a wall and remain a sovereign, independent  nation, vote Trump. If you want to keep open borders and become the next EU vote Cruz. Forget Rubio - he's useless. And if you're really depressed over all this - call Kasich he's a great therapist!

NOW is the time to fight and  TAKE BACK America!! Join the Trump Train and get every last Trump voter to the polls! We're fighting for America and this is OUR Revolution!

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

Go PATTY!!!

Marco held an event at the Tampa Convention Center tonight and only got about one thousand people who weren't even definite votes. From the article:

"Rubio drew on those underdog experiences when addressing a crowd of about 1,000, many of whom came not with posters and T-shirts of support but with questions about who should win their vote. Rubio shrugged off comparisons to the capacity crowd of more than 10,000 that showed up to the University of South Florida Sun Dome last month to see billionaire GOP frontrunner Donald Trump."

http://www.tbo.com/news/crime/marco-rubio-to-hold-rally-today-at-ta...

If you're in Florida get out and vote! Then go find 5 more Trump supporters and get them to the polls! We NEED to FIRE Marco Rubio for BROKEN PROMISES and not going to work!

Thanks Raya and Patty.

I was at the Orlando Trump rally yesterday. There was a peaceful protest outside but it was on the UCF campus and there is a large democrat club so it was to be expected. I was expecting a pro Rubio rally from the UCF college republicans because Rubio hangs out there but I did not see any of them supporting him - has he lied to them as well? We stood outside and then sat for a couple of hours waiting for the event to start - nothing happened - peaceful, happy crowd. Then the prerally started. It was personal testimony like the one above. There were no protestors as these people spoke, they hid amongst the crowd and then popped up rudely interrupting and having to be removed by police swearing and giving people the finger as they left. But this is the speaker that I will always remember:  Please read this whole story before you cast your vote for Rubio. Remebr that Rubio promised me with a sincere hansdhake to ALWAYS listen even if we disagreed. A MOM got up and spoke before Trump arrived – this is my summary of her story. This Mom’s 18 year old son was killed by a 19 year old illegally in the country. She told the story of sitting in the courtroom and them showing a video of a policemen’s shoes walking in the woods until he comes upon an opening. She then sees the soles of her son’s red feet. The camera pans up and his legs are bound with ropes in knots that were so sophisticated like none of us could tie. The camera keeps moving up and she sees her son’s hands. She is looking for the mole she knows and loves on her son’s finger but his fingers are gone, his arms bound in ropes and body burned beyond recognition. She’s a MOM and a MOM knows and loves every inch of their child and it’s not there. The camera keeps moving up and there are six nooses tied around his neck. The evil young man testifies and tells the court every last detail of how he brutally murdered her son. Every time a bloody bubble came out of her son’s nose, he loosened the noose and then reapplied and tightened it over and over. When they put her son in the body bag, he only weighed 100 pounds. The whole room was quiet and I was crying. This evil murderer is now in jail for life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. But then she continued. When Senator Rubio was pushing through the amnesty law, she and other family members asked to meet with him to voice their concerns and tell their stories. Rubio NEVER met with them. Rubio NEVER heard their stories. This is unacceptable. This is a man with no compassion for OUR families. Can you in all good conscience vote for Rubio to be President of the greatest country in the world? I can’t.

 I am ASHAMED that I helped him get elected to the senate. Did he keep his PROMISE to Always listen - NO he lied to me personally and to every person in Florida and all the people who phone banked and donated across the country. He sold out to LaRaza and Chamber of Commerce and couldn't even take the time to listen to a grieving MOM even if she disagreed. ( To verify, this story is on Briebart - but this is her words as real Floridians like me heard it. )This is NOT the Republican party that my family wants to be a part of - this is NOT a party anyone can be proud of, this is NOT compassionate conservativism. This is why people are voting Trump. There's a whole party including Ted Cruz who lie and leave people suffering without the respect of listening and then finding a solution.
