    Ironic for you to say this, since you made the earliest mention of the future event.

    Donald Trump cancels press conference after black pastors say they were tricked into meeting
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...stors-say-they-were-tricked-into-meeting.html

    Donald Trump has been forced into a humiliating climbdown, cancelling a major campaign event after black church leaders complained that a private meeting was being billed as a public endorsement of the leading Republican presidential candidate.

    Journalists had been invited to Trump Tower in New York on Monday to hear 100 African-American evangelical pastors endorse Mr Trump following the meeting.

    But the claim prompted a number of angry denials from those involved who said they had simply agreed to hear the candidate set out his position on key issues. Others said they had declined the invitation altogether.

    Bishop Clarence McClendon, a pastor well-known for his role in the reality show The Preachers of LA, said he would not decide who to endorse until next year.

    “The meeting was presented not as a meeting to endorse but a meeting to engage in dialogue,” he said on Facebook.

    Plans for the press conference were announced after a black activist was forcibly ejected from a Trump campaign rally in Alabama.

    Mercutio Southall said he had been punched and kicked by the mostly white crowd as he was bumdled out of the event.

    The episode is a reminder that Mr Trump's support derives largely from white, working class voters and that he struggles to attract black supporters.
    Unveiling the backing of 100 black church leaders would have demonstrated that he can reach beyond his core support in a push to hijack the nomination from more mainstream candidates.

    Unfortunately, it seem no-one told the pastors of the plan. Several complained their names had been given to the media even though they declined the invitation.

    Bishop Corletta Vaughn, Senior Pastor of The Holy Ghost Cathedral and the star of another reality show, Preachers of Detroit, said she had been inundated with angry questions after details of the event were released.

    “Trump is an insult and embarrassment.. But he represents the country we have become,” she wrote on Facebook, explaining why she had refused to attend. “Zero experience. Flaunting a ticket of unbridled bigotry, sexism, racism and everything that is wrong with America.”

    On Sunday afternoon, Mr Trump announced on Twitter that Monday's meeting would not include a press conference.

    Does anyone else think that Mojoman may be setting himself up for a jopatmc-level meltdown later? Not sure he could top it, though, jopat set the bar extremely high.

    Yep. He was all aboard the Romney train and completely lost it as it inevitably derailed. If the thread(s?) wasn't so long, I'd love to go back and re-read it.

    The thread title was your own words. It is only another reminder of how inaccurate your posts are.

    Mojoman doesn't have enough mojo to man-up and say he was wrong.

    Do you act this r****ded intentionally?

    One of the criteria for supporting trump is having a low IQ, so it doesn't surprise me.

    No, black people are like the noble Indian... Mythological creatures like the dipictions Will Smith movies... They are static and don't have any real human failings or opinions apparently... They also always like out for other black people and all a major Civil Rights proponents.
