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:

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

“”Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but says he now realizes that those moving hope-and-change speeches were nothing more than rhetoric.

Donald Trump, Obama, Hannity”I was his biggest cheerleader,” the multibillionaire businessman told Sean Hannity on his Fox TV show Tuesday night. “If you go back three years, I’m saying, ‘Do a great job.’ I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.”””

Let the idiot CEOs boycott Trump who is the only candidste who understands protecting America’s legal workers will help empty welfare snd unemploymennt rolls, allow for reduction in taxes and create customers with more dollars to spend at Macy’s at Univision advertisers and at golf courses. Idiots.

You need to calm down. I was responding to your comment about elective office. I was not comparing anyone to anyone. However, Pataki is for gay marriage, so I don’t care what Trump says about him, and I don’t care how what offices he has held.

The more they try to shut down Trump, the stronger he'll grow. Americans have had it! I don't personally like the guy because of his nauseating ego, but I like very much what he is saying.

If the guy accomplished half of the rhetoric he’z spewing, America would begin to head in the right direction.

I have no idea what that was supposed to mean.

But then I wasn’t a member of Obama’s and Al Gores’s, and John Kerry’s party, like Trump.

Thankfully Palatki is an idiot and won’t have a good comeback. He was elected Governor and Trump was elected to.....nothing. I should run for President, I would at least fight back these RINOS.......Trump says he is for family values.....biggest joke on Earth. Maybe I will run for President.

Oh, you were a member of the other party? They did such a fabulous job too.

What happened to their big historic Republican wins last year ansell? Are they still celebrating their career wins?

Looking sharp!

LOL calm down about what, that is your response to being revealed as a history idiot?

You don’t even seem to understand the point, how is someone so idiotic, that he tells a governor, with decades of winning elections, that he can’t be elected to dog catcher, especially a guy who has been trying to be elected for 16 years, with no success?

As far as gays, Trumnp has supported gays for many years, including calling for civil unions and for homosexuaizing the military, early on, and for abortion.

Lol, it just keeps getting better!

Sure, it's pretty good fun so far, but if this keeps up, at some point I'm going to have to take him and his chances seriously.

Hearing him actually say it, on a tape Rush played, today, was priceless. Even El Rushbo got a big laugh out of it.

Unconventional, yes. Uplifting to hear? Heck, yes!
