*Roberson Breaks Silence, Embraces Trump*

*Las Vegas, NV* – Republican Senate boss Michael Roberson finally emerged
from hiding to confirm that he will support his party’s presidential
nominee in 2016 – even if that means backing reality TV star and
bigot-in-chief Donald Trump. After smiling and walking away

exact question last month, Roberson came clean yesterday at a CD3 town hall
moderated by conservative talk radio host Alan Stock. Hours later, Trump swept
all five primaries

by double-digit margins and declared himself the Republican Party’s
“presumptive nominee.”

Candidates were also asked whether they would support whoever the
Republican Party nominates for president, even if that person is the
polarizing Trump.

*“I do intend to support the Republican nominee,” Roberson said.* “I hope
as a party we nominate someone who can actually win in November.”

“Instead of denouncing Donald Trump and disavowing his reckless and
xenophobic agenda, GOP Senate boss Michael Roberson has made it official
that he will embrace and support him if/when he becomes the GOP’s
presidential nominee,” *said Nevada State Democratic Party Press Secretary
Stewart Boss. *“Time and time again, Trump has proven himself to be a
racist demagogue, a misogynistic bully, and a birther who is grossly unfit
to be our next Commander-in-Chief. It’s no surprise that in his thirst for
power, career politician Michael Roberson would pledge loyalty to his party
above what’s best for Nevada.”
