Trump calls Romney a ‘choker,’ says Jeb is ‘total fool’ (hard to argue with Trump on this)

Donald Trump hasn’t announced a run for president quite yet, but that isn’t stopping him from hurling stink bombs at fellow Republicans — calling Mitt Romney “a choker,” Marco Rubio “a horror show” and Jeb Bush “a nice person,” who’s still “a total fool.”

Not that he can’t stand any of them.

Jeb Bush “made a total fool of himself” in waffling during recent interviews on whether his brother, George W., had been right to invade Iraq.

Trump didn't say Jeb was a total fool as the headline says. To say he made a fool of himself is not the same and is far less harsh. Trump is hitting it a little too hard against the Republicans currently in his sights.

Still wish he'd put together a well thought out platform addressing the concerns he raises. In 2011 and again now he polls among the top candidates by shooting from the hip. It might be shocking if he became serious and declared his candidacy.

Trump should stop with the name calling. It’s not helping him.

As much as I don’t like Romney as an elected official, he is a far more successful business man than Trump. Trump got tons of money from daddy, the government, and leverage that wouldn’t be available if we had a rational goverment. He drove four companies into bankruptcy and is involved in several MLM scams. Romney’s little finger has more business acumen than Trump’s entire ego. But neither should be president or dog catcher. And neither has ever made a legitimate run for the presidency.

I think Trump has a bigger stack than Romney does.

By far. No?

But why not have a successful businessman as president?

The current “lawyer, and lifelong politician” crew is selling America down the river.

Trump is saying that America needs to be for America.

He seems to be the only politican in either party, saying America needs to be stronger.

That is a very powerful message.

Trump has a long history of giving wads of cash to Democrats and is in favor of strong gun control. He wants to ban assault weapons, whatever those are. He is also strongly in favor of a three day waiting period.

Trump isn’t conservative, much less a Republican. So he can say whatever he wants, I guess.

Jeb is not a fool. Jeb is working for the Democrats.

Given the fact that so few people who claim to be Conservative consider themselves to be Republican these days, Trump is playing a smart game and not helping the democrat fascists a bit. He's building, brick by brick, the foundation for someone from outside the system to be successful.

Seems to be breaking Reagan's Rule
Speak no evil of fellow Republicans
You make the Democrat's job a lot easier

Tell that to the FR crew that would rather look for faults in any conservative candidate than try to actually think about what all the really good traits might mean.....

I hope he runs—it will make the debates much more fun—but, will he have my vote in the primary? Not a Chance!

People forget that Romney had Obama ON THE ROPES after the first debate in 2012 and was even slightly ahead...and then played it ‘safe’ and lost.

Definition of a Choker, in my book.
