Al Sharpton: Trump Not Running To Win
By Cheryl Chumley, July 22, 2015 WorldNetDaily
Al Sharpton sent out a harsh message about businessman Donald Trump, saying the billionaire may be running for president, but it doesn’t appear he’s really trying to win.
Sharpton also admitted in an interview with the Washington Post that his own run for the White House years ago wasn’t about winning, but rather about advancing his own personal causes.
“When you run for president, in my opinion, you run either to win or you run to further a cause,” Sharpton said, the Washington Post reported. “I ran [in 2004] to further a cause. … [and issues] we wanted to raise like criminal justice and all were not going to be in the center stage if we didn’t have a candidate.”
