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:

Really, fake quotes and making up fake posts, you are that dingy and dishonest?

“”Donald Trump fires back at 2016 rival: You ‘couldn’t be elected dog catcher’””

That is a weird thing for a 69 year old man who has been trying to run for office for 16 years, and never won an election, to say to his Governor.

I am not particularly worried about the election crap yet.

I just enjoy watching the angst and gnashing of teeth all the politidiots are going through going after Trump. They aren’t used to getting hit back.

Which has nothing to do with my post, pointing out how bizarre Trump’s statement was.

Don’t be an admitted stalker carrying a grudge from thread to thread, try to stay focused on the thread topic and on the posts themselves.

“your response to being revealed as a history idiot?”

What about my response enabled you to come to that conclusion? Just interested. I mean, what I posted was true.

Odd how you seem to show up on Trump threads, barking from the sideline.

You probably need to bark louder!

Are you serious?

You think that George Washington never won an election? Even after I have corrected you on that point?

My favorite Trump quote was when the reporter asked Trump which woman he wanted on the new ten dollar bill. Trump smiling responded, “My mother”.

Trump didn’t go after Pataki. Pataki picked on Trump and Trump told Pataki a fact about his candidacy.

Yep I agree.
Mrs. rikkir had a stroke at a young age. No lasting effects but very scary.

Prayers for that young man.

More circular firing squad. Trump excels at leading others into that type of thing.

The media is attacking Trump. The big corporations are attacking Trump. The Democrats are attacking Trump. The Republicans are attacking Trump. I think a few people are mad that Trump isn’t playing the political BS game. Love it!

Oh, I see, you can’t read. I posted that those presidents had never PREVIOUSLY won an election, as in Trump has never won an election.

"Do you realize that Bill Clinton is Trump's favorite President, and that Trump has supported Hillary, and that Trump left the GOP and was a democrat from 2001 to 2009?"

I'm well aware of Trump's past political associations.
I'm simply saying I like that fact that Trump is in the faces of the current Republican political establishment and won't back down. I also like that fact that he has no problem calling the current "immigrants" from across the border what they really are -- the worst of Latin America.

Trump seems to be the most wishy washy, politician that we have ever seen, he just morphs into whatever positions and even parties, that he wants to at the time.
