    Anyone else wondering if Trump is paying or otherwise bribing some of these people for their endorsements? I kind of just assume he is....

    Paying no but otherwise bribing yes. Pretty sure he is making quid pro quo agreements with endorsers for positions in a Trump administration.
    Ben Carson admitted he gave the endorsement after he was offered a position in Trump's administration, which is technically against the law.

    Technically against the law but not uncommon practice. What is uncommon is that people who have been brutalized by Trump in the debates and on Twitter are willing to accept such deals. Honestly says more about Christie and Carson than it does Trump.

    Absolutely agree, and it also showcases, yet again, Ben Carson's absolutely abysmal knowledge of government in general that he would say that out loud. It makes him look like a spineless fool.

    Happens on the liberal side too. That's politics as usual. As for a Rolex? I know "gifts" are given. I remember hearing about Bush Sr. receiving a hunting rifle.

    Which is actually why I think there might be actual money involved too. Well, not with Carson. He's fuckin' nuts. He probably would have done it for a free Pez dispenser .... But Christie... everyone has a price (well, most), and I wonder if Trump found his. He is generally a pretty reasonable man, so that he's endorsing Trump is beyond fishy to me.

    As has been speculated elsewhere my guess is that Christie has been promised Attorney General.

    By who though?
    Do you think someone promised that in exchange for support of Trump?

    I assume he meant that Trump promised it in exchange for support. That is what the whole conversation is about.

    How can Trump make a deal like that when he doesn't even have it to give?

    SMH. The entire point is that he promises them all kinds of shit for when he wins the election. If he doesn't win, then obviously nothing happens. This is standard operating procedure, really. Come on.... are you just faking that you don't get what we're talking about?

    Usually deals like that are a bit more solid than a premise of "If I win"

    Yes, this. PJfan, do you really think this doesn't go on? Trump promises Christie AG in return for his support.

    Yes I know sidedoor deals go on but isn't AG a heavily vetted designation?

    Not in politics they aren't. When you're talking about buying political endorsements during a campaign this is the only option.

    “I mean, I think there would certainly be something within the Justice Department for him,” the 38-year-old Trump Jr. added, unprompted.

    That doesn't leave a huge leap....

    Surgeon General? Now that's a position he's qualified for.

    Just because it is made in china doesn't make it noteworthy.

    If the candidate claiming he will bring ALL the jobs back to the US cant even sell his campaign hat using american made goods just what the fuck do you think that is? A goddamn hypocrite con artist.

    His ebtire clothing line/label is made overseas.

    This is why he is pissed off.
    I don't blame him that he is pissed that his hats would cost him more to make in USA.
    He wants to bring jobs back to America and he will do it.
