Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions Endorses Trump: "It Is Time To Make America Great Again" By Ian Schwartz Posted on February 28, 2016
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) endorsed Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Huntsville Sunday evening. Sessions promised a "Gang of Eight" type of immigration reform bill would not will be passed in a Donald Trump presidency.
"There is an opportunity this year, Tuesday, and we have the opportunity -- we have an opportunity Tuesday. It may be the last opportunity we have for the people's voice to be heard. You have asked for 30 years, and politicians have promised for 30 years to fix illegal immigration," Sessions said.
"The American people have known for years these trade agreements have not been working for them," Sessions stumped. "We now have and will soon have a vote on the Transpacific Partnership TPP), Obamatrade, and it will damage America. It will create a commission that undermines our sovereignty, and it should not pass. Donald Trump when he gets elected president will see it does not pass."
Sessions said Trump is not perfect, but nobody is and endorsed the candidate.
"This movement, he doesn't take money from political groups and lobbyists. He is committed to leading this country in an effective way. You know, nobody is perfect. We can't have everything, can we, Mr. Trump? But I can tell you one thing, I think at this time in my opinion, my best judgment, at this time in America's history, we need to make America great again!" Sessions said, repeating Trump's campaign slogan.
"I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States," Sessions endorsed.
"I told Donald Trump this isn't a campaign, this is a movement," Sessions told the crowd. "Look at what's happening. The American people are not happy with their government."
"We are in a movement that must not fade away," Sessions said. "The bosses are you. The people in Washington are public servants and they serve you."
Immediately after the Sessions endorsement a Black Lives Matter protestor erupted in the audience.
Sessions endorsing Trump was a major blow to Ted Cruz.

obama got in too soon and his presidency was a failure by most standards

Trump was also endorsed by Jan Brewer, the former GOP governor of Arizona, and the two 'contractors' survivors who tried to save Ambassador Stevens, and did save a bunch of folks, in Benghazi.
ZitatNebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse said Sunday night that he will not vote for Donald Trump if the billionaire wins the Republican nomination and will instead seek "some third candidate — a conservative, a Constitutionalist" to support instead.
In a lengthy Facebook note posted late Sunday, Sasse argued that Trump does not appear to support the constitutional principles most dear to conservatives, such as limited government and First Amendment protections for religious liberty.
"Much like President Obama, he displays essentially no understanding of the fact that, in the American system, we have a constitutional system of checks and balances, with three separate but co-equal branches of government. And the task of public officials is to be public 'servants,'" Sasse wrote.
"I’m as frustrated and saddened as you are about what’s happening to our country. But I cannot support Donald Trump. Please understand: I’m not an establishment Republican, and I will never support Hillary Clinton. I’m a movement conservative who was elected over the objections of the GOP establishment. My current answer for who I would support in a hypothetical matchup between Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton is: Neither of them. I sincerely hope we select one of the other GOP candidates, but if Donald Trump ends up as the GOP nominee, conservatives will need to find a third option."

Quite amazing how so many who oppose Trump know how he will govern even though he hasn't done a thing yet.
Exactly!!
The gift of clairvoyance has been unleashed all across American "punditry"!
