Pataki calls on GOP candidates to denounce Trump comments; The Donald fires back

Former New York Gov. George Pataki has launched a broadside against Donald Trump over his controversial remarks on Mexican immigrants, sending an open letter this week to every other Republican presidential candidate urging them to "denounce his comments today."

The letter has, in turn, triggered a bitter Twitter feud between the two 2016 candidates, as Trump also spars with everyone from NBC to Macy's to the New York City government.

After Pataki tweeted a link to the letter (in which he cc'd Trump), Trump thundered back on Twitter:

What the heck is Trump talking about? Pataki at least was elected once.

I’m glad The Donald jumped in.

Binging much-needed testosterone and SPINE to the herd of ball-less RINO Pachyderms (Ted Cruz excluded).

The thing I like about Trump is that he will tell the blunt and ugly truth, and he's not afraid of a fight.

I doubt Trump will get the nomination, and he would be a disaster in the general, but I have to hand it to him on how he's handling this latest controversy. All the media types and political junkies are talking about - Trump!

Great way for a tier two candidate to jump the pack.

Republicans like Pataki are beneath contempt.

Too damn bad there're so many of the conniving cowards.

It seems like when Conservatives announce their candidacy...they get like ‘deer in the headlights’ whenever Democrats challenge them.

THAT doesn’t work.

No matter what else happens, Trump is going to keep them all AWAKE and focused!

Why do you say Trump would be a lousy President? If he wins, he won't owe anyone in the establishment any favors. And sensible members of the DC crowd will fear crossing him.

Besides that, he would be able to put together a real excellent cabinet and other appointees. And in negotiations, he wouldn't be playing tic-tac-toe while Putin plays Chess!

Pataki, and his buddies, Christie, Bush, and Rubio, are exactly what’s wrong with establishment RINOs.

I don’t support Trump for the nomination , but he is certainly a breath of fresh air.

As for Pataki, SHUT UP. It’s you spineless cowards who have helped the left get us to this point because you always shutting up and going along with what they want.

Pataki needs to familiarize himself with the 1st Amendment. Then he should look into the issue of illegal immigration and recognize just how sick and tired of excuse making politicians most Americans are.

If Pataki was running again for NY Gov or even mayor no way the majority brainless NY’ers elect him. What’s a Pataki anyway besides a squish RINO.

To listen to Trump's actual comments re Japan, Mexico, Mexicans, ISIS, Middle eastern countries, etc., for yourself, here:

There's quite a bit for Americans to dislike about Donald Trump, but his remark about Mexico and Mexicans isn't one of them.
