1) - Yeah and they were all pre-funded, au-funded and will be post-funded by people who pull their strings and had a big voice in the formation of said platforms.

2) - Speculation your honor. The witness has not been put in the position to test your theory yet.

3) - I cannot speak to your level of trust with Mr Trump, nor your concerns that he will cave in to lobbyists especially when we don't even know which lobbies or special interests you're talking about. Such matters are uniquely your own feelings. I know what mine are and I have stated them now times enough, of that I am certain. Now Hillary is an altogether different deal. We know she'll be all-in on anything anti conservative, as the many speeches of her recent past have revealed unabashed contempt for Republicans and conservatives in general.

1) - Like I said, TRT, yes, they are funded, but if they gave in to the demands of their donors then we would see several of them caving on the social issues toward the liberal side. That hasn’t happened, and some candidates have made it a key focal point to defend religious liberty despite being pressured to do the opposite. Trump has wiggle room on the platform issue, because he has hardly established a platform with the exception of immigration.

If you want to talk about people attempting to pull the strings of a campaign, look no further than Sheldon Adelson. To quote Donald Trump from October of last year, “Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet. I agree!” This is a quote coming directly from his Twitter page.

Adelson has pledged to provide $100 million dollars to Trump’s campaign. Trump’s attitude toward Adelson has changed quite a bit since his generous offer and it is possible that Adelson will start a pro-Trump super PAC.

2) - As to the topic of the loan, do you have an explanation for it instead of just dismissing it? Why else would Trump have given himself a loan unless he intended on paying it back through donations he receives? If you want to talk about speculation, I would say that many of the Trump supporters made their decision to vote for him based on pure emotion and hope that he would be a conservative president. Even posters on here have admitted that they don’t know what he is going to do once he is elected as president.

3) - If he’s going to cave on an issue such as HB2 and mention NC “losing business” as a defense for his reasoning, doesn’t that show where he stands? If he’s not going to take a stand on an issue that even some Democrats have taken a stand on, do you think he will make the right moral decision even under pressure to not do so for economic reasons?
