While Donald Trumps comments on undocumented immigrants and surging poll numbers in his bid for the presidency have some in the Republican Party concerned, one congressman thinks Trump may actually be a phantom candidate planted by Democrats.
Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) shared his theory with Spanish-language media last week, according to the Miami Herald. During one radio interview, Curbelo said Trump could be a phantom candidate recruited by the left to create this entire political circus.

No, representative Curbelo. Trump is a creation of YOUR party, the republicans, and fits into the republican narrative. I guess it is hard to face that truth that YOUR party is the party of racism, isn't it?

A reporter gave him lots of info on the Nigerian pump scandal, his wife lying to the feds, and his savings and loan scam in broward county fla just like the rest of his family.
He also sold us out to the Chinese..and that story was posted here.
