Michael Dukakis: Donald Trump is 'nuts' (Another left-handed endorsement)
CNN Politics ^ | March 18, 2016 | Eugene Scott

Former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis called Donald Trump "nuts" Friday over his views on immigration, adding that he believes Bernie Sanders should stay in the Democratic primary fight.

"I think he's nuts," the 1988 Democratic nominee told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "He's the grandson of German immigrants. He ought to be ashamed of himself."

"I'm very proud of my background," said Dukakis, whose parents immigrated from Greece. "This is the guy who's the grandson of somebody who came over from Germany. And I don't know what he's talking about for one thing. It's preposterous."

The former Massachusetts governor -- whose failed presidential bid will be prominently featured in CNN's new episode of "Race for the White House" that airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET -- also called Trump's plan to build a wall "ridiculous."(continued)

Dear Michael - tonight, 500 illegal invaders are going to descend on your property. They want your money, your health insurance, and any females that reside with you. You must give it to them. After all, it’s only “fair.” If you resist, then you are “nuts.”

I thought Trump’s ancestry was Scottish, not German.

Drumpf is most certainly German.

But Cruz is 100% Canadian.

"O Canada!

Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.:

Dukakis rides tanks, Trump rides 757s and Helicopters.
