Donald Trump goes on lengthy tweet-storm rant blasting Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio
Business Insider ^ | November 1, 2015 | Maxwell Tani

Donald Trump seems to want in on the escalating feud between Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R).

In an early-Sunday morning tweet-storm, a tactic that's become a hallmark of his campaign for president, Trump weighed in Rubio and Bush's relationship.

You might want to listen to him rather than depend on what others say about him.

BS. I base all my opinions on all the candidates using direct quotes.

Trolling for anti Ben posts is not necessarily bad. If you find the answer to my question about his SS registration you are forgiven. I have looked without results

Do we really want someone who does this kind of juvenile stuff to be President? Sheesh, let's have someone more dignified. Ben Carson anyone?

I'm sorry that you've not been around political campaigns before. If you think any of Trump's tweets are juvenile, it is on a high plateau compared to most campaigns. Luckily, the press filters out those low comments.

I honestly don't see much difference between tweets and press releases, other than tweets are mercifully brief.

one who wants to legalize graduating foreign students in numbers similar to increasing H1B visas fivefold.

I have not heard that one yet. Give me a source and I'll evaluate it.

The one who would also tax imports,

I'm all for it.

criticizes first amendment guaranteed money in politics,

I used to think that anyone should be able to put as much money into a candidate as they want. But after watching how govenment has been working in this country, I think something needs to change.

flip flops on funding parts of planned parenthood, supports Kelo, and who won't verbally defend Geller and Kim Davis. And the one who also never mentions the word liberty.

Trump is pro-life. And I prefer actions rather then words.

There, fixed it. The Donald has forever changed campaigning tactics; he's beating the media at their own game. Go Trump Go!

You are correct Onyx. Trump specifically talks about foreign students from quality schools who graduate in the top of their class.

He says we should not educate them only to send them back to their countries to help their countries when they could be helping our country.

He also specifically mentions doctors, scientists, and technology.

Direct quotes written or reported by whom?

Are you sure you are reading the entire quote and context?

Like I said. You might want to listen to a speech yourself.

Nah, Balding_Eagle,

I just don’t like Carson because of a couple of his positions, his demeanor, and him threatening his mom with a hammer, I know that was a long time ago, but it bothers me.

But I let some of my dislike for Carson come through in my post to you, which was uncalled for, so I am sorry to you.

Haha, I better try for forgiveness, but I know nothing about that.

Can you point me to a post about it?

Quote from Trump's immigration policy:

"Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.

Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS."

"expediting the good ones back in"

Expediting the good ones back in would require congressional action. Repatriating them (deporting) does not. And since Trump is the only candidate talking about Repatriating them he is the only candidate not proposing some sort of amnesty.

The good news is that Rubio is only a slightly less flawed candidate than Jeb. The GOPe has now run the table and after Rubio they don’t have another candidate.

Are you disheartened by Trump's use of twitter or his effort to harm the GOPe by encouraging the fight between bush and rubio.

There's nothing juvenile about either tactic.

Couple of days ago several were discussing the SDA. Church that Dr Ben belongs. Former students who were members did not pledg3 the flag, memorize or sing the national anthem and when grown up did not serve in military but registered as CO.

Granted most believe that his choice of religion is guaranteed in the constition. Having a CIC that is Conscientious Objectors may be a conflict.

I found confirmation regarding pledge and national anthem. The CO.choice may be pure choice. Don’t know how we would get those records without asking

Oh, the CO status would be on his military records, but I have no idea how one would go about getting military records.

I imagine that’s why you want to SS number.

a storm rant?

what an obvious over exaggeration

this was a mild reminder set of tweets that Marco and Bush are exactly who Trump has said they were from the start.. it’s Trump’s way of getting his points across instead of saturating the airwaves with hundreds of political ads

good for him
