Donald Trump: Rumor Of Calling Republicans "Dumb" Proven False
INQUISITR ^ | 18/10/2015 | Leigh Egan

A viral photo of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is making its way across social media, quoting the real estate mogul as saying that if he runs for president one day, he’ll run as a Republican presidential candidate because Republican voters “are dumb.” Yet, the meme has been proven false.

Snopes reports that the alleged quote supposedly happened during a 1998 interview between Trump and People magazine. The meme, created anonymously, quotes Trump as saying the following.

TDS sufferers’ minds are made up; it’s best to not confuse them with facts.

“Cruz can’t get enough support to fire anyone. LOL”

From RCP Averages:
Iowa-—Cruz 4th@8.3
NH-——Cruz 7th@5.3
SC-——Cruz 5th@6.3
NV-——Cruz 6th@4.0

In all these early primary states, Trump is around 4X Cruz’ numbers.

So as much as I would see Ted Cruz as a exceptional president, unless something drastic happens between now and February, he’s not going to be the nominee. The notion that he’s going to “collect” the Trump supporters when Trump “collapses” is a fairy tale. And just today we have a guy who was a big Romney team player saying that he’s withdrawing his earlier comment that Trump can’t win. This time, the voters are going for a non-establishment candidate. Unfortunately Cruz is on the fringes of that group, which works to his disadvantage.

I see it that he will collect the Trump supporters when he accepts the VP slot which he will keep them when he runs after Trump is finished.

TDS = “The Donald Sucks!”

You should be more concerned about “HTHF”.....”Herr Trump’s Hilterite Followers.”

I’m not trying to convince him. If some a-hole equates me with a Nazi, I’m going to tell him where to go.

If he keeps this up, I think he’ll earn himself an FR time-out

They get together in crowds and shout “sieg heil” and “heil Trump” like their Nazi counterparts of the 1930s.

LOL!

Did you bother reading the GW article from 9/11/13? The trouble with people like you is that you cannot accept the notion that facts are stubborn things. Here is the link if it is too much trouble for you to go back.

As for your assertion of callng us Sturmabteilung, My grandfather fought against them in Bavaria then and taught me how to identify them, and Bub, you are it. He never joined the Nazi Party and lived on the run from the SS to keep his children away from the Youth Camps.

It doesn’t matter if the accusation is not true, it only matters that it will go viral in social media and many people will believe it.

Some of you anti-Trumpers are seriously becoming unhinged.

How much is the GOPe and george soreass paying you to divide Trump and Cruz fans?

It’s a very GOPe move to try harming Trump while turning off people from Cruz all at the same time.

The big problem facing a lot of people is that it is going to be extremely hard, if not impossible to prove that the Republicans aren't dumb.

While Trump doesn't come out and say it directly, he proves how stupid the GOPe is in nearly every speech he gives.

Why don’t you go find a Cruz thread and experience some leg tingling.

I wouldnt be so sure about what Thump says about Americans Or Republicans...in private.... given some of what he has indeed said in public.

Jindahl pretty well nailed Thump with this paragraph

"Like all narcissists, Donald Trump is insecure and weak, and afraid of being exposed. And that's why he is constantly telling us how big and how rich and how great he is, and how insignificant everyone else is. We've all met people like Trump, and we know that only a very weak and small person needs to constantly tell us how strong and powerful he is. Donald Trump believes that he is the answer to every question."

As C.B. Forgotston said here in Louisiana, Jindal is not a liar, he is a damn liar.
