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

Posted on 03/19/2016 6:49:12 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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)

So Trump is nuts, huh? Tell me again, how many terms did he serve as president?

It’s both. Paternal is German, maternal is Scot.

But Donald Trump would thoroughly kick the ass of any dirtbag who laid a hand on his wife.

Unlike you, you consummate wuss.

You mean “Zorba the Jerk”. Especially about gun rights.

Anyway, since the subject is Dukakis, recall that he lost to Bush Sr. in 1988 with 44% of the popular vote, while Clinton defeated Bush in 1992 with 43%.

That’s what a third party candidate can do.

“And I don’t know what he’s talking about for one thing. “


I think that about sums up Dukakis’ entire statement.

That would be really funny if protestors started singing O, Canada at Cruz rallies.

Great endorsement for Trump.

It most certainly is. His Grandfather emigrated her from Germany. Trumps mother is Scottish born.

I’m still stunned at the amount of differences between what I thought Republicans were and what they actually are. They hid their real selves. As it stands today, there are NONE of them worth their salt.. NONE are what this country needs.. ALL have turned away from what works and into what works for THEM. ALL are in this for what they can get.. and Donald Trump stands almost alone in this lost and bewildered country. Those who hate him are more than I ever knew hated this country. I wonder where we’d be if Trump had continued living his life and left the country to whatever... who would be in the lead?.. would there still be hell to pay by those on the left? Is it just The Donald or is it whomever else? Would the media and the GOP still be pretending/promising/lying? Would megyn and fox news be pleased with the election so far? Would they be in the driver’s seat and be ever so happy with their chosen pick for the President? Would the GOP and Krauthammer be smiling and lying to us?
Just askin’.

I know dukakis is a dem... it’s just that there has been so much anti what is good for our country... it’s astounding how many do not know what helps and what destroys. Lost minds out there. It’s a good thing I’m not God.

"He's the grandson of German immigrants."

In the opinion of the judges, this is close enough to count as 'Hitler'.

Drink!

Why does the media keep trotting out these losers to attack Trump?

The whole leftist establishment is becoming unhinged.

Nope! I’m just saying that ‘Drumpf’ is not a German name.

Seriously, 2nd.

What is the end game for you? cruise has NO CHANCE to win a majority of delegates. And even the numb-nuts like romney and linda who "support" him just want Trump to lose. cruise WILL NEVER win a brokered convention.

Seriously, what is your path to victory? Or are you for a GOPe nominee?

What is it to you Trumpet? Or do I need to “get on the Trump train or get run over?”
