BUSINESS DEAL? OR MORE NIKKI HALEY DRAMA?
|| By FITSNEWS || Did a business deal really disrupt Donald Trump’s plans to attend a gathering of “national conservatives” in Greenville, S.C.? Or does the last-minute decision to cancel his appearance at the neoconservative Heritage Action presidential forum mark the latest front in his ongoing battle with S.C. governor Nikki Haley?
A statement from Trump’s campaign indicated the billionaire businessman – who has stormed to the front of the GOP pack nationally and in early-voting South Carolina – had “a significant business transaction that was expected to close Thursday.”
That transaction was delayed by a day, compelling Trump to change his plans.
“Due to the delay he is unable to attend today’s Heritage Action Presidential Forum,” the statement said. “He sends his regrets and looks forward to being with the great people of South Carolina on Wednesday in Columbia.”
The Heritage organization – which used Trump’s name and likeness to sell the vast majority of its tickets to the event – reportedly ran afoul of “The Donald” when it agreed to permit Haley to not only appear at the event, but pose questions of the candidates (including Trump).
Haley, a former Tea Partier turned GOP establishment attack dog, has made bashing Trump her modus operandi on the national stage of late …
Sources close to Jim DeMint – president of the Heritage Foundation (and a former U.S. Senator from South Carolina) – tell us a frantic phone call was made to Trump earlier this week to make sure he was still committed to attending the event.
Trump – a long-time friend of DeMint – reportedly told the former Senator he had always planned on attending, provided his business obligations did not interfere.
Unfortunately, they did.
“Some political people may have difficultly understanding this concept but his decision has everything to do with business and nothing to do with politics,” a Trump advisor told FITS. “Unlike them, he’s a businessman not a politician.”
Supporting that contention? The presence of numerous members of Trump’s advance team at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in downtown Greenville, S.C. – site of the Heritage Action gathering.
Nonetheless Haley – and Trump’s 2016 rivals – are reportedly hard at work trying to spin Trump’s decision to bail on the event into some sort of political advantage for their campaigns.
Will it work?
Doubtful.
In fact Haley – who is addressing the Heritage crowd – was reportedly neck-deep in protests over her decision regarding the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of the S.C. State House earlier this summer.

Conservatives are all about naming groups with “Heritage” in it.
Liberals are all about perpetuating your HATE of White people to the point, that your ignorant RACIST robot-thugs are Shooting Down WHITE police officers in the streets, with the blessing of your-lord-god-BIGOT-Obama.
You stupid piece of RACIST-Hateful-Shit. You don’t give a FUCK about a life if it is white, and not a as-backward as you and the Democrat Party.
Did YOU say SOMEthing?
Yes.Liberal women like YOU have UGLYpersonas!
Gross, you want to do Carly?
He doesn’t even know. funny.
I may no know funny but I know how to show you a gooooood time! Try me!
It’s not a 2bit, black/white, on/off, good/evil type thing, bigT. You might not be capable of understanding that.
Suck a floppy dick.
I understand that you Racist Bastards are on Auto-pilot-Cliche – calling EVERYBODY not as Liberal-Nazi as you a racist…But the fact is your leaders teach you ignorant assholes to go and kill…and the media acts as if it’s justified…you selfish, close-minded neanderthal barbarian….
What are you. Like 12?
12-year-olds are indoctrinated into hate and ignorance like you…with the idea it’s legitimate to kill, because the Democrat Party and the media, tell the most -stupid fucks, like you…it’s OK…as long as if it’s people you liberals hate that are dying…
I guess that your “heritage” entitles you to something that everyone else doesn’t. You got your 1st amendment rights, though. Enjoy your floppy dick.
More of that colorful Christian conservative language on display.
tsk tsk…
Don’t think those ugly Obama kids didn’t learn some colorful language from their preacher Rev.Wright.
Mocking children, too. Well done, flip. I’m thinking God would appreciate it if hypocrites like you would stop labeling yourselves as Christians.
You liberals KILL children as a religion. My guess is God frowns on 50,000,000 abortions by mom.
Um, none of which has anything to do with YOU and your hypocrisy. Care to address this or should I prepare myself for another classic flip attempt at deflection?
it is called a flipflection, FYI
Matthew 10:34. “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Christ came to bring peace between people and God. But the inevitable result of Jesus’ coming is conflict between good and evil on the earth.
Like most liberals YOU are evil. I am good. We are in conflict. :)
Rocky 10:04 Do not fear the Pope, unless your hatred is something you fear to display when ascending to your judgement day.
Rocky you aren’t a Christian so I don’t even consider your comments on faith.
You do a great job stalking female college students and making pornographic references to their female anatomy.
I know your wife and Priest would be proud.
Huh… don’t see anything there that condones profanity, bullying or mocking children.
A person who is able to discern between good and evil, has at least one of the major marks of spiritual maturity.
I have THAT gift.
If you had that gift, you wouldn’t have a callous disregard for children dying while under DSS custody, because incompetent political payback appointees can’t do their jobs.
I guess if those children were still fetuses you might give a shit.
Right. Profanity and mocking children. In your infinite wisdom, is that in the good column or the evil column?
He also frowns on children being killed by guns while older people insist that any measures to prevent or curtail this would infringe on THEIR liberty.
3-2-1 GT/Flip attacks with ad hominem. So predictable. So boring. Yawn
You liberals? That’s rich. You do know that PRIVATELY, Republicans, favor abortions, right?
You do know that you crazy hypocritical Republicans elect Congressmen who PRIVATELY tell both their wives and girlfriends to get an abortion.
So “you Liberals” means you have to be part of the lying, pack.
Sorry. “ugly MUSLIM Obama kids”.
Oh didn’t dont get your panties all in a bunch. What a fag.
Have a good weekend Smirks.Taxpayers are always glad when you are off! LMAO!!! Don’t worry about the government shut down.
I have an 11 year old and she’s not indoctrinated to kill. Wrong again dumb@$$ moron. Ba-ba-bam!!!!!
I’d love to!
Hillary Clinton herself once hedged when asked if Obama was a Muslim, saying there was no evidence of that “as far as I know”.

Liberals and Democrats are Devil Worshipers.
It’s heritage, not hate!
bet nikki is going to get a great reception after running the Donald off. hehe
Nikki is a disgrace.Trump just finished her NON existent political aspirations off.
Your buddy is going to leave the state right ?
Sandi, you’re back. Hey, you left your panties at my house last weekend. You want me to mail them to you?
Donnie’s spray on tan is looking very blotchy. This was the only available time his cosmetologist had open. Relax people. Nothing to see here.
Lindsey Graham was seen with an AR-15 shooting at life size prints of Trump’s head. Hence, the reason he cancelled his visit.
I’m concerned about those Muslim training camps opening in Greeneville.
Trump is on that. He’s got the answer to everything. He’s the Panacea.
He’s got smart people working on it. The best.
I thought you told us Obama was the panacea…Hahahahahahaha…You fucking idiot…
More than Taylor?
Somebody told me you give head to Muslim Jihadists in thanks to your Bigot-god-Obama. How many dicks did you suck in Greenville?
GT, just please know that I am praying to President 0bama to make you whole again. He is watching over you and guiding you.
Yeah, you can see the perimeter lights around the camp for miles and miles.
The camp is disguised as the Anderson Jockey Lot………prior to it becoming a terrorist training camp it was a FEMA Concentration Camp according to WORD 106.3 FM talk radio and it’s legion of tin hat wearing listeners………
Those wily Muslims……………..
Damn, Trump continues to endear himself as a candidate to me! While probably as he stated, a business related move, it is good to see Haley and what is probably the right-wing religious-whacko faction of the Republican Party left holding the bag. These loons have been pandered to for too long and by too many.
Go Donald!!!!!
Your description of Christians I can’t agree with however I don’t blame Trump a bit for sticking it to Jindal,Haley and some of the other hypocrites that have been ripping him apart.
Go Donald!
I am sorry, but it was Trump who backed out not Haley. She wins again.
Nah, all of the tickets were bought by people wanting to see Trump and who were promised Trump would be there. So now they are going to be pissed, and the whole thing is one be waste of time. Nobody is there to see our Sikh in Chief.
“So now they are going to be pissed” because “Trump” “promised he would be there” but chickened out. Trump disappointed them, not Haley.
Some Christians are fine with me, flip. It is the vocal, politically active ones who want everyone else to think what they think, say what they say, and do what they do, that get under my skin; especially when they try to use force of law to compel others in that way. There isn’t a lot of difference in these throwbacks to Witch burnings and Muslims.
Ignorant Fucking lemmings like you always come back and suck the dick of the Democrats when the media tells you to…
Easily lead pop culture idiots, like you, are on Trump right now because you think it’s cool. Soon as the liberal slap the shit out of your stupid ass…you’ll come running like the faithful little dog you are…
???? Could you try again please, this time in English. I completely missed your “point”.
In my opinion he is saying (and correctly so) that Trump is gonna slap the shit out of EVERYBODY-Democrats and liberals will be the biggest losers-if Republican Party listens.
I would vote for Trump however he is NOT my first choice. The BIGGIE is that he is setting the agenda that the Republicans will have to follow if they want the WH in 2016.
Wall,No Amnesty/path to citizenship/voting and JEB BUSH for the Republican Party OR no Republican President.
Trump got in to defeat Bush and shake up the Republican establishment/elites/RINO’s. Mission accomplished.
After that crazy dude last night, I’m afraid to leave my apartment.
To bad, now no one will ask Nikki exactly how her parents got here, and if she is an anchor baby. I am betting she is. I’ll bet someone could make money with send Nikki back to India stickers for sale.
So! Nikki wins again. Trump is afraid of questions from Haley. Makes excuse. Tail between his legs. Nikki is unstoppable.
“Nikki wins again. ”
What did she win?
The candidates other than Carly, flail when they try to challenge Trump. Haley is a valuable tool to use against Trump. Haley’s stock has gone up because Trump chickened out. Before canceling he had requested not to appear on stage with Haley. Haley has that power over Trump.
“Haley’s stock has gone up because Trump chickened out.”
Who has her stock gone up with? Do you have any kind of link, write-up, or article showing that some voting electorate now considers her a good choice for VP or something after Trump cancelled on her?
“Haley has that power over Trump.”
What power? The power of non-association?
I don’t know, it seems to me that Trump not wanting to appear with Haley is a good thing for him considering her last GOP primary endorsement didn’t even win the state- in fact, I think her endorsement might have hurt him.
Just because I avoid a bum on the street begging for change doesn’t mean he has “power” over me.
Trump cancelled on her? He canceled on his supporters. Haley didn’t want Trump there to begin with. Trump is the one hiding behind his Twitter account today, trying to explain himself.
“Trump cancelled on her? He canceled on his supporters. Haley didn’t want Trump there to begin with. ”
You’re arguing with yourself.
“Before canceling he had requested not to appear on stage with Haley. Haley has that power over Trump.”
Seems like Trump didn’t want to be around her going by your statement.
In all, it’s a good move for him…it doesn’t change her status with anyone(except you).
Haley was the only one he didn’t want to appear on stage with. Haley was the only one who drew protesters at Greenville.
Use to be Scott Walker would draw Union protesters. If you can’t even draw protesters then you don’t stand for nothin’ or you’re irrelevant.
He cancels the Heritage gig but is going to Iowa High School homecoming? I guess that’s another opportunity to avoid speaking about anything of substance. Just rah rah I’m great and everything is going to be great.
School officials in Urbandale announced Thursday morning that presidential candidate Donald Trump will be attending their homecoming.
URBANDALE, Iowa — Students used the power of social media to convince a presidential candidate to come to their homecoming festivities.
“Everybody was tweeting at candidates or emailing candidates and I was aiming high, I wanted Donald Trump,” says Senior Alex Newberg.
Newberg’s request paid off.
At a school assembly Thursday morning, students learned Donald Trump will be coming to speak before the school’s homecoming dance on Saturday.
______________________
LMAO!!! Saturday dumb ass. You liberals LIE so much the next thing you are gonna say is that MUslim Obama is a Christian.
I didn’t purposely omit the Saturday, assumed everyone knew he was in hiding today. My point still stands – he bails on a forum that he would have to actually speak to policy and solutions and chooses his next gig to be a HS homecoming which is nothing but a pep rally.
LMAO!!! The Heritage Foundation is nothing but a ‘pep rally’. Trump is sending a message to the Republican Party establishment-get the ‘troops’ under control or 3rd party.
Fuck Perry,Jindal,Haley etc….Trump will win SC if he dies on Saturday!
Hmm, if he dies on Saturday, I assure you he will not be winning anything. I don’t think he would even call that a win.
At one point today, the national press was reporting that Donald Trump made a big mistake last night at town meeting for not denouncing a man asking a question and framing it as Obama being a Muslim. Trump did not try to correct the gentleman and that is being played up in the national press as a big deal. The bottom line, the press is reporting he wanted to lay low today and not be a subject of questions for his competition at the SC meeting. I guess both of those situations could have caused his absence.
Trump has to be careful, a few more slip ups and if he does not change his persona and actions while out campaigning could bring about a decline in his popularity. He has to be more specific and choose his words carefully when out on the campaign trail. The CNN debate did not go that well for him and we could start to see a steady decrease in his polling numbers. I don’t think he can maintain momentum using the same techniques he has used up to this point.
I’m not that shock about Obama is a Muslim nonsense – what really took me back was his not addressing what the guy said before he brought up Obama and training camps.
“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims” Wait, What? Imagine if he had said We have a problem in this country. It’s called Jews.
“Imagine if he had said We have a problem in this country. It’s called Jews.”
Hold on there dude.Obama is the one that hates Jews. Ask Israel. Why do you think they are turning to Russia?
Yeah right. Keep on believing. Let Russia send Israel a bunch of money and get in the middle of that Mideast nightmare for awhile.
Obama is a ‘closet’ Muslim. Anwar Sadat was a ‘closet’ Christian. It happens. Obama hates the Jews.
David Duke doesn’t think so and a certified Jew hater certainly would, don’t ya think? Obama has filled his campaign and WH staff with lots of people of the Jewish faith. Here’s a few-David Plouffe, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, Jacob Lew, there are lots more (which David Duke has a problem with) and you can find them using google.
He likes Jews that give him money from Wall Street and those with power.Al Sharpton is one of his closest advisers and he hates Jews. Jesse Jackson? Please.
Look at his policies.Read his lips.
Good point.
Or what if the schlub had said “NIggers” (racial explective used ONLY as an example) instead of Muslims……….
Trumps ass-kissing “hey-boys” would have said the same things as an excuse in a press release as they did for this perfuffle……
My friend.Trump is going to do things his way.My guess is that if the Republican establishment and many of the candidates continue this nuclear attack on Trump, with the help of the MSM , he will go 3rd party.He asked to be treated fairly and he is NOT.
I support a Rubio and a couple of others HOWEVER I would never vote for Bush and if this continues with Trump, I would consider a 3rd party Trump run and split the Republican Party.
Trump certainly presents himself as a wild card for the election. I do see him slipping somewhat in this coming polling cycle. Not a knock out, but a tightening at the top, Trump, Carson and Fiorina.
I doubted Trump’s viability for a long time, then came on board, and now I am beginning to have some doubt about his longevity in this race.
Whew! We came this close to a critical mass of stupid with Trump, DeMint and Haley in the same room.
Put a few dead fetuses in the room and let you take em home for dinner and you would have been in Hitler heaven!
Why should Trump attend any event where the focus will be on bashing him? He’s smart to avoid them. He doesn’t need the GOP establishment anymore.
Good for him for not attending, it’s a smart political move even if he didn’t intend it that way.
WHAT A WUSS!

Haley fucked SC AGAIN!
He can’t face Haley. Trump will do real well against Putin, the Ayatollah and Kim Jong Un. LOL
Just got back home from the Heritage event. For a “sold out” event, there were LOTS of empty seats. Trump followers decided not to attend. The entire event as too long and nothing but a tea party pep rally with the B team candidates. Nobody really distinguished themselves and it was very unorganized.
Blaming Haley.Seriously you are fucking demented.
Glad Trump didn’t cow-tow to those blowhards. Nikki Haley is unethical, and a liar. No way would I attend one of her events!
Spin much.

SC is still crazy
The Truth is it became clear the GOP establishment, was trying to use this even as another anti-Trump attack, coordinated by DeMint. They were trying to derail Trump’s lead in SC. They sold a bunch of tickets based on Trump being there and then tried to set up the whole event as a way to go after Trump. He said screw them, didn’t show and the entire even devolved into a joke affair. No one really wanted to be there; much less listen to a bunch of people no one is interested in hearing from. Especially Nikki.
Good for Trump. I would say he clearly won that round. Nikki is going no where fast
