One by one on Thursday, Donald Trump slammed his Republican presidential rivals in a press conference about party unity.
At an event at Trump Tower in New York, Trump announced that he signed a pledge not to run as a third-party candidate, which he previously warned he would do if the Republican Party did not treat him respectfully.
Though Trump devoted much of his time to the pledge, he also dedicated a significant chunk of Thursday’s press conference to bragging about his high poll numbers and slamming his Republican rivals.
Trump took particular aim at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who in recent weeks has ramped up his criticisms of Trump and labeled him a fake conservative.
“I watched him on TV this morning, and it was a bit sad,” Trump said of Bush’s attacks. “He was supposed to win, and he just doesn’t have the energy.”
Trump, who has frequently repeated his “low-energy” attack on Bush over the past few weeks, also said Bush was beholden to the donors to his campaign and the outside “super PAC” supporting his run.
“If I were him, I’d spend money on positive ads about himself,” Trump said.
Trump didn’t stop there.

I don't care. I woman was just put in prison for being a Christian in Kentucky. What does he have to say about that? Is she an “obnoxious blowhard” as he likes to call women who are persecuted for their principles.

He must have redone it. Bush, Graham, Christie, Perry, and Paul were his targets. He thrashed Bush deliciously, and said Carly Fiorina should replace Rand Paul on the debate stage...

She was jailed while he was meeting with Rinse Fleabait, and was unaware it had happened when he was questioned.

There's so much to criticize Bush about.
Saying that Bush is low energy and receives campaign donations are low energy criticisms.

When you find out, let me know.

“Some people have hopes of passing amendments [to the U.S. Constitution],” said Trump, “but it’s not going to happen. Congress can’t pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that’s making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it.”

Nah. It’s code for ‘low testosterone’. That’s a powerful jab.

Yes I knew he said that. That’s when I decided I can’t vote for him. I understand his point is that he thinks it can’t happen. But he is fighting illegal immigration with a lot of opposition and the same weak congress.
Still, what he says about the clerk will reveal his own beliefs, not just whether he is willing to fight for something.

Ted Cruz was noticeably absent from any barbs by the Donald. So was Gov. Jindal.
