Trump lands his first (U.S.) congressional endorsements Quote: Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) told POLITICO on Wednesday that he will support Trump for the Republican nomination, making him one of the first members of Congress to express public support for the Manhattan businessman who is the prohibitive front-runner after his victory in Tuesday's Nevada caucuses. Also on Wednesday, Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) told The Buffalo News that he is backing Trump, saying he has the "guts and fortitude" to get jobs back from China and to take on foreign threats such as the Islamic State and North Korea . . . Noting that he and Trump see eye-to-eye on a number of issues, including border security, manufacturing and national security, Hunter said he also likes Trump for another reason. "I don't think Trump wants my endorsement," Hunter said, while also remarking that he has not heard from the candidate himself. "And that's one reason why I like him," he added. Trump said earlier Wednesday that "endorsements mean very little." http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-g...d-trump-219725 Bring back the bacon. __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Trump lands his first (U.S.) congressional endorsements One of the congressmen is from NY; I see a lot of Easterners, it be Judge Jeannine or Steve Malzberg as being supportive of Trump; it's actually rather interesting.

New Yorkers know Jeanine Pirro. She's definitely cut from the same cloth as Donald Trump, so her support of Trump comes as no surprise.

I'm not being critical of Judge Jeannine in saying this but she herself has acknowledged that when she ran for Senate vs. Hillary Clinton, Judge Jeannine was in fact, a bit soft on social issues or at least some social issues. One can research those issues for themselves but unfortunately, in New York and Massachusetts, if one runs as a Republican, one may need to have some compromising positions on the issues.

They look alike and act the same -- thanks to the voters who really like the new match. Mrs. Hillary Trump The two would be great together -- just what the country needs for a good chastisement from the almighty. WE get the leaders we deserve!.

She likely has a conflict of interest because of this. I wonder if she has ever disclosed the Trump donation on air on Fox News. __________________ Human Life International helps to build the culture of life in more than "100 countries".
