Donald Trump Responds To David Plouffe: I’m Obama’s ‘Worst Nightmare’ (video link)
mediaite.com ^ | 4/11/2011 | Matt Schneider

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.

"...let's hope and pray that Obama unleashes his pit bull Biden to viciously attack Trump. I wonder who will still be standing once the smoke clears. I got my money on Trump.

"Pit Bull"...bi-den??? Ahhhh...I don't think so.

Throwing bi-den "into the ring" with Mr. Trump would be akin to throwing me into the ring with Ali in his prime!!

I'd love to see the end of the debate when Trump looks over at bi-den, and with his best deadpan look says to bi-den....YOU'RE FIRED!!

My bet is that bi-den would hang his head and walk off the stage...that is, if he could move at all.

Yes Trumps quick alright...I’m enjoying this too lonevoice. It’s nice watching him shake things up and keep them guessing.

I saw a video of him doing a short snap interview from CBN, somehwere here on FR, on his Religion. I have to say it’s the first I’ve seen him not really confident...but I may pipe in to the full interview. It was actually comical seeing him attempt to answer questions you could easy see he wasn’t quite sure about just how to answer...favorably.

All the rest have been castrated by PC.

Welll....certainly, "PC" is part of it....but there are other reasons.
The rest of the politicians have to be careful because:
if they lose, it will hurt them politically in the future (it won't hurt Trump at all),
In the politician's world, they all have things to hide knowing that if they attack their fellow politician, they can be attacked back (Trump could care less),
a true politician is no longer capable of "telling like it is"; it's been so long since they told anything approaching the truth that they no longer recognize it for what it is (Trump has no such history or limitations.)

He’s waited way too long to produce it and it’s a double edged sword because if he produces it, it now makes him look small and petty to have withheld it for so long dismissing the people.

I agree. Not to mention that we now have a serviceman serving time that could have been prevented by producing it. LT. Lankin only asked for it to be produced, remember?

"Who is this Obama guy Plouffe anyway? I had never heard of him until this weekend. "

I saw him on TV yesterday- looks like something Buckwheat ran across in the bus station restroom, and drug him home.

Love it! Beautiful... Man I hope he runs! Trump certainly has more guts than the rest of the Republican candidates.

Trump has more guts than a slaughter house.

"IMHO....
1. He's NOT a politician.
2. He has nothing to lose, and everything to gain from running.
3. He can't be hurt politically by the other politicians as he's not one himself (this scares the hell out of all politicians).
4. He does not need to "spin" anything.
5. As such, he says what he means, and means what he says. This is absolutely the opposite of how politicians frame their words, thoughts, and deeds.
6. He is at least as intelligent as the stain, and has far heavier "street smarts" than the stain's team.
7. He has a wealth of "hands-on" management and administrative skills and experience - the stain (even to this point) has little of either.
8. He knows full well how to market himself, his ideas, and his objectives.
9. He has a fully functional managerial team of proactive experts, and
10. He hates to lose.

Yes sir....this is gonna be some fight!"

As I looked at those qualities, I saw that a lot of them could also pertain to Sarah Palin. Especially #10. :o)

Actually his mother was too young to transfer citizenship according to law in existence then.
The mother's & grandmothers motivation was to ensure US citizenship for the child.

Now I don't know one way or the other where he was born. However something is wrong, something he feels he has to hide with considerable effort & cost. Why? I think we need to know!

Zero chance, hey? Well, why is the White House even bothering to comment about Trump at all then? It’s simple. The White House is scared witless of Trump and they’re signaling their legions of liberal lapdog press lackeys to launch a full-bore attack against Trump. That’s why.

If you doubt me, just watch the Marxist media swing into action against Trump. There’ll be a drumbeat of attack against Trump. No balanced articles weighing Trump’s pros and cons as a presidential candidate, just an all out attack. Just like the Marxist media treats all Republican candidates, but now the White House says it’s Trump’s turn.

And though the liberal media and lapdogs swing into action...they are only swinging into Trump's backyard.

To Trump, all publicity is good publicity.

He is tailor-made to kill liberals where they live.

In fact, Trump can kill the liberal point of view and segway into a discussion of "The Apprentice"...

Trump is the Alinsky killer!

This is Marxism being attacked by its sworn enemy....Pure Capitalism!
