White House Senior Advisor David Plouffe yesterday suggested that Donald Trump is a “sideshow” with “zero chance” of being elected President. Plouffe likely expected that there was “zero chance” Trump would hear such remarks and not be eager to retaliate, which of course he did
Trump’s response on Fox & Friends this morning:
“Obviously I hit a nerve because they’re fighting me I don’t hear them talking about Mr. Pawlenty or anybody else. They’re talking only about Trump. And I can tell you, I’m their worst nightmare. I am not the person that they want to run against. And they know it and I know it.”Even more enjoyable than hearing a potential presidential candidate refer to themselves by their own last name, is how seamlessly Trump transitions from suggesting Obama is doing a “terrible job” to discussing how great Celebrity Apprentice was last night and how shocked he is that Gary Busey survived another week. And another week of the Trump “sideshow” begins.

I can think of two reasons: 1) He’s a man, 2) He came out of left field (literally). I think the Left is still in shock by Trump’s attacks against Obama and hasn’t found
Trump is doing a service for the country. He’s shaking the ground on which Obama is walking. He is speaking the truth that we’ve known about since the beginning of this and he’s enjoying himself immensely. That’s the fun part for me. He’s poking ‘em with a stick and laughing.
You're exactly right, as the Rezko comment proves. It's wonderful...the perfect storm. Obama is being Trump'd and America is the winner.
H&ll, they don't stop at my house for an hour...all thx to The Donald!
“Has Rosie O’Donnell weighed in on this yet?”
“I’m sure she will........heavily!”
She tried, but the scale broke.
I bet Mr. Trump is calling in a film crew to head all over the planet to do a lifelong documentary of Obama.
Usually a person like a President usually gets a documentary by now, why hasn’t Obama?
Are people afraid of what may turn up?
“with a meat axe or scalpel” is the historic way to describe budget cuts. But David and every other leftist used the phrase “MACHETE or scalpel”.
On one panel a leftis started to say “meat axe” and then caught herself mid sylable, paused, looked at the other leftists and said “MACHETE”. Clearly this was the talking point.
Why MACHETE? I suggest that the left is intentionally trying to appeal to racism to get support for their side. The intend that associating the budget cutters with a MACHETE will associate budget cutters with those wild, uneducated Mexicans. It was a clear play to racism.
How many in MediaWatch, MediaMatters, etc will notice?
A few days ago, I wasn’t sure. Now, I am. For better or worse, he will run.
GO TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only that but Trump called for the impeachment of President Bush, so they can’t even dismiss him as a partisan hack.
The WH response to this is pretty inept if you ask me. Dismissing a billionaire like Trump is poking at the hornet’s nest if you ask me.
The alternative here that people need to be aware of is that he may in fact have the long forum waiting to throw out there when the time is right.
We should be prepared for the idea of a rope-a-dope on this birth certificate deal. Think about it. If he really does have his long forum, why would he show his birth certificate now? The press is letting him get away with it? Anyone who questions Obama’s legitimacy up until now has been discredited as a kook or a raciest or both by the press. Right now, it’s a really easy way to have the press discredit your opponents for you. Why wouldn’t you hang on to it until the point to which it’s an issue that begins to hurt and then pull out the birth certificate? Then think of how sympathetic he’ll look to the general electorate. I’m just saying it’s something people need to think about.
I think it may even end with him bringing down the president.
Keep on keeping Trump.
"Okay...once we get your long form, how 'bout releasing your college transcripts and your SAT scores?"
IMO Obama is doomed if Trump keeps it up.
bump for later!
bump for later!
I'm not either, but he may be the only one who can take down Bozo, cause doesn't matter what the MSM says, Donald will get his word out regardless!
He is fearless of the RAT party. He won't back off! He won't be stopped by articles of the kind they put out about Palin. Like it or not, he may be our only hope to stop this marxist slide for America!
“Has Rosie O’Donnell weighed in on this yet?”
For her to weigh in, she would have to go down to the feed store.
******
Who is this Obama guy Plouffe anyway? I had never heard of him until this weekend.
He is supposed to be a top adviser to Obama, but he is doing more harm to Obama by criticizing Trump than by simply keeping quiet.
Pelosi next Trump attacker? If Obama sends a well-known preson like Pelosi to attack Trump, then we will suddenly have something exciting where people will sit up and take notice. But sending unknown key adviser Plouffe to attack Trump on the talk show circuit was a mistake on Obama's part, because Plouffe turned into Poof!
Of course, if Pelosi starts attacking Trump, then she opens herself up to critical questions about how she could sign a Hawaii presidential application form where she verified that Obama was Constitutionally eligible to run for president, even though Pelosi could determine such eligiblilty ONLY if she had first examined Obama's long form birth certificate.
So, in my opinion, if Obama next sends Pelosi to attack Trump, Trump will embarrass and give Pelosi a very difficult time with his response to her attack.
Trump will get the following:
1. South Park Conservatives (Myself)
2. Hispanics in construction and who want to go back to work.
3. Reagan Dems.
4. Patriot Cons.
5. Blue collar whites.
GO TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
