Donald Trump fires back at 2016 rival: You 'couldn’t be elected dog catcher'
Reuters/Business Insider ^ | July 1st, 2015 | By Colin Campbell

Real-estate magnate Donald Trump fired off angry tweets at one of his GOP rivals in the presidential race Wednesday, accusing him of being a has-been who couldn't get elected to office again.

The rival, former New York Gov. George Pataki (R), has recently been criticizing Trump's controversial comments about illegal immigration.

Pataki told Business Insider on Tuesday that Trump was "disrespectful" and subsequently wrote a letter to the Republican field urging them to join him in denouncing Trump.

Trump, as is his wont, responded by trashing Pataki on Twitter:

I have no idea what he did to Merv Griffin but Merv was so very successful what harm could Trump do?

My favorite Trump quote of the day is this golden nugget.....

“Romney? I supported Mitt Romney and he didn’t bring out the people,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends” Monday.

“He choked in the end ... frankly, he just choked, choked like a dog, and we cannot allow that to happen again.”

Mr. Trump, I disagree with some of the things you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say them.

Go “denounce” yourself, Pataki.

"Think of that happening for real with Trump."

You're conceding the GOP and General Electorate is really stupid enough for a majority to vote for him.

And, I'm betting SNL recreates that skit! Hilarious!

He joked about getting wasted and voting with his buddies for Jessie jackson. He woke up turned the news and “He F’ing WON?!?!?!?!?!”

With all the stoner's we have now and may have If Lear Deeder makes medical Mary-J-U-Wanna legal in the next year it would be schadenfreude for us if they all woke up and did just that.

That might be the laugh of our lifetime...

Although I’m not a fan of Trump at all, Pataki’s a hundred times worse and isn’t fit to fold the Donald’s pocket hankie.

I don’t support Trump, but it is great to see him really trashing these GOPe candidates. A few more months of this and there could be a whole lot of GOPe political blood in the water!

If only Trump went after some of the 2016 GOPe senate candidates too.

Go Trump Go!

Politicians need to come up with something new to insult each other with. Dog catchers actually have an honorable job in which they actually DO something.

Romney was so classy. He said Obama was a very nice fellow. Excellent

I have so little respect for the political system anymore, things are so far gone, that I think that would be hilarious.

The Donald is a fairly decent comedian. Seriously! And he knows it and it is part of his schtick.

I thought Pataki would be out by now. I read somewhere that his son had a life threatening stroke a couple of weeks ago.

The problem here is the Democrats will use the Alinsky Method to demonize the Republican Party. The Republicans don’t know how to handle the Method because the first step is to show you have strength. Even a dog catcher knows how to show strength.

He still has to beat the GOP field. That will not be easy.
