Sparks flew between Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow and Republican consultant Rick Wilson on CNN Friday evening during a discussion of Republican presidential contenders Donald Trump and Jeb Bush, with Wilson comparing Breitbart’s coverage of Trump to the Soviet propaganda outlet Pravda.
After Trump, the business and television personality leading the Republican field, finished a press conference, host Kate Bolduan–sitting in for Erin Burnett on CNN’s OutFront–sought comment from Wilson and Marlow, especially regarding Trump’s attacks on Bush, the former Governor of Florida.
The two men, before addressing each other, established a stark contrast with the other’s view. Wilson defended Bush on several questions and, unprompted, said: “I don’t work for Jeb Bush, and I’m not here to advocate specifically for him.” All the while, he threw a few bombs at Trump. “Every one of these pressers this guy does is a dumpster fire… most of the things that come out of Donald Trump’s mouth have almost no relationship to the truth under any circumstances. He just makes it up.” He wrapped up with a comparison of Trump’s talking point on forcefully taking Iraq’s oil to a “drunk dad at the local corner bar talking smack.”
While harsh, none of these insults quite matched the intensity of Wilson calling Trump “a giant, epic, douche canoe” on Don Lemon’s CNN program Monday.
Marlow, appearing in-studio, argued that Trump landed some “good lines” against Bush on the issues of big-money political donors, the Iraq war, and the Iran nuclear deal–all “point[s] of weakness with the grassroots.” He said of the Iraq issue, Bush is “extremely vulnerable,” because “I don’t even know what Jeb believes yet, and I follow this stuff for a living.”

Isn’t pravda Russian for “truth?”
Ricky writing for the Politico who is the Wash Post and Newsweak reject magazine website:

July 22 - “Greetings, Donald Trump super fans. I am a member of the GOP establishment. I’m writing to tell you that, no matter how much you wish it otherwise, the Donald Trump candidacy is almost over.
Don’t be fooled by Trump’s double-digit lead in a new poll: He is not going to win. He’s not going to win the primary. He’s not going to win the general. He’s not going to win a third-party bid. Sure, he can damage the GOP ticket badly enough to guarantee Hillary’s election, ...”
Poor widdle GOPE operative Ricky must be crying these days.
Trump telling lies?.......
PROVE IT!...
Yep. But don’t tell this moron consultant.
There is neither pravda or isvestia in these GOP-E ‘Consultants’ OR their employers, or their Faux Media outlets.
Who is this Dick Wilson ? Another flunky for the RINO establishment left, no doubt.
Wilson doesn’t “get it” and understands nothing.
Breitbart is one of the very few news organizations that isn’t in the tank for the Bushes, Rubios and Carlys.
TRUMP may be a long way from being a conservative in full, but for now at least he’s not JEB. We’re changing him, and he changes us.
Rick Wilson = Pravda
I don't think Republican consultant Rick Wilson understand how it's working.
The GOPe dictatorship is forcing the elite's favorite programs and social issues down the throats of the voters.
Rick Wilson is the propaganda tool used by the GOPe.
Trump and Breitbart represent the voters yearning to be free and hear the truth.
“GOP consultants” - the same type of “consultants” who lost the last two elections?
And many folks are feeling the heat. Or are looking for ratings.
Wilson called Trump “a giant, epic, douche canoe”
When all else fails go into a 13 year old routine.☺
These guys will probably surface as the next debate "moderators".
What’s the GOPe going to do when they don’t have the Hillary boogie man to scare us with?
Wilson is a hack.
Meanwhile, as establishment types keep trying to put down Trump. The Donald continues to consult with smart folks like Steve Forbes on tax policy and Jeff Sessions on immigration policy.
What’s the GOPe going to do when they don’t have the Hillary boogie man to scare us with?Go back to the old way of telling us how important it is to vote R, for the judges...You Know, like John Roberts
Is Trump truly consulting with Steve Forbes on taxes?
I respect Forbes which is a rarity these days...
Mentioned in a thread on Thursday.
Republican consultants are mainly what is screwed up about the GOP.
Yep, along with Art Laffer.
Isn’t that last line by Wilson a bit sexist or something...
I’m not a big fan of Trump and don’t really believe he’s a conservative. But I’d vote for him if he’s the nominee.
I’m going on record right now - I will not vote for Jeb period. I know other conservatives who feel the same.
And I’ve never done that before and I’m no spring chicken... I’ve voted for some pretty bitter pills but that is a bridge too far.
