Lame and false.

Her later actions as Sec of State and now the email scandal show me she is not trustworthy - so what exactly attracts people to Hillary? I just don't get the love.
Plus for what the Clinton's stand for - facts on their past from many sources stating the same (not just one source) all over the internet going back to when Bill was governor of Arkansas and that people who knew the crooked goings on with them "murdered" one by one via being shot on a quiet road while driving in their car as well as their private jets crashing and killing them - Hillary was in on this as well.

Let me stress: THERE WOULD BE NO WAY THAT I COULD EVER VOTE FOR A CLINTON - HITLER (if he were alive and running) would actually be an improvement.

Anyway, Mr. Trump WILL WIN and these type endorsements have only just begun.
Sessions is a patriot and a GREAT AMERICAN and for him to endorse Mr. Trump speaks volumes imho!

Indeed there was. It reminded me of the scenes at Nuremberg between 1933 and 1938.

If you say so, but I'm not nearly old enough to have attended one of those events.

On the other hand, a more relevant comparison from modern times would be the cheering at Obama's massive rallies in 2008.

I attended the Trumpening. The people know (and love) Senator Sessions - he is the most popular politician in Alabama and will keep his Senate seat as long as he wants it (he had no primary or general opposition in the 2014 election). There was massive cheering when Sessions endorsed Trump.

BTW I also attended the Senator Rubio rally the day before. I like Rubio on just about every issue except immigration.

Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions Endorses Trump: "It Is Time To Make America Great Again" | Video | RealClearPolitics
Listen to the Angry Yam's empty, blathering rhetoric and you eventually rephrase to "It's time to make America Hate Again." I'm stunned by the man's narcissism and the voters' gullibility.

Great, so Trump will win Alabama, a state that has already gone Republican for a number of decades.

Sessions endorsement may influence voters in the GOP primary tomorrow. Of course the GOP nominee will win the State in the general election.
