The Club For Growth tried to shake down Donald Trump for $1,000,000 and twist the facts in order to try and deny it.
Unfortunately for them, Trump had the goods.

About what I’d expect from a Club for Growth. What the hell does that even mean?
Well, well, well.
The Club for Growth has National Review and Grover I Love Pisslam Norquist connections.
Established: Club for Growth (CFG) was founded in 1999.
President/CEO: Pat Toomey (former Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania’s 15th District)
Founder: Stephen “Steve” Moore (editor/contributor to National Review)
Executive Director: David Keating
Board Members: CFG President Pat Toomey, Vice President Chuck Pike, Richard Gilder, formerly Chairman of the Manhattan Institute, and Thomas Rhodes, President of National Review magazine, associated with a variety of organizations, including the Heritage Foundation.
Finances: CFG raised $9.2 million for its activities during the 2002 election cycle.
Affiliations: CFG has spun off at least one local chapter, the Virginia Club for Growth. Virginia CFG’s president and founder is Peter Ferrara, the former general counsel and chief economist for Americans for Tax Reform (Grover Islam Norquist’s group).
Oops the President is currently David McIntosh
“If you can’t get $1 million from them, smear them.
If you can’t smear them, lie and cry like a little girl.”
“…in its efforts to promote pro-growth, limited government policy.”
Which is it? Pro-growth or limited government? If pro-growth, growth of what? Government? Honestly, doesn’t that seem like obtuse goals?
Oh, and it strikes just the right tone of obsequious and grovel.
No, i’m a trump supporter, but this is a bad attack on the club for growth.
The club for growth supports sound economics, and when they asked for a contribution from trump, it would be used to spread sound economics.
So then when trump does not contribute, and takes stances on economics that do not promote growth, it is quite natural for the club for growth to attack him. That is not hypocrisy at all.
I’m a trump supporter because he takes no guff from the left or the media and he says he will kick the illegals out and build a wall.
And we all know that the establishment does nothing but grovel and will do none of that.
But i’m not a mindless drone that supports bs economics just because trump favors it. Tax increases, protectionism, etc are BAD ECONOMICS. Period!! I
My worst fear is that if trump gets elected, which i certainly hope he does, will do less than expected on illegal immigration and then go ahead with the truly horrible economic plans he is promoting.
Don’t be mindless. Kicking illegals out is good. Applauding him for blasting away at the pc crap in the media is good. But bad economics is bad.
Club For Growth. Wasn’t that some organization to combat male pattern baldness?
Or maybe they all have lisps. Ew, nathty.
In some neighborhoods that’s known as a Louisville Slugger…or a Kenyan translator.
I don’t get it… CFG and Trump have a meeting in which he tells them he’s interested in supporting them so they send him a donation letter. He decides to not support them after all. All before he’d announced his candidacy. How is this a thing?
He starts running and indicates he supports things they don’t support – why shouldn’t they come out with ads against him as a candidate?
Er protectionism, tariffs is what was constitutionally speaking for funding the fucking government from the get go. Of course that wet paper bag is gone now that we’ve got ourselves a certified redistribution scheme called the IRS to jump on every American’s back that actually has a job.
That worthless entity in DC needs to be thoroughly reduced in size and scope and if they, the establishment, are unwilling to try then we should march down their million plus strong and put them all to the sword as Muhammad would have done. Yes, strike off their heads those that refuse to yield back their obvious usurpation of our natural rights.
” Founder: Stephen “Steve” Moore ”
well, well, well – at least “pro growth”, open borders advocate Stephen Moore didn’t write that damnable letter
Somebody posted a column about how trump doesn’t understand the constitution (as if that fkn POSOTUS actually cares) and it makes you wonder if treump understands the NAFTA and the Security and Prosperity Partnershit that compassionate conservative, internationalist, fkn W screwed America with.
There’s no such thing as a “bad” attack on the CFG. Pat Toomey, listed as pres and CEO, used their imprimatur to boost his senate campaign in PA. Looks like free campaign cash to me.
He promptly became a RINO, voting for gun control and other libtarded effluvia. The CFG also supported McConnell and his senate pick, not TEA Partier Matt Bevin in KY. They now have a reputation of backing RINOs, not conservatives.
It means whatever the hell they want it to mean at any given moment.
