Sununu: Trump is 'Phony', No Conservative
Newsmax ^ | 1/11/2016 | Bill Hoffman

Whom Donald Trump has insinuated is unintelligent — fired back on Monday, calling the billionaire developer and Republican presidential front-runner a "lefty liberal" who's "thin-skinned" and "all mouth."

In an explosive interview with Newsmax TV's Steve Malzberg, the former New Hampshire governor who also served as chief of staff to President George H.W. Bush, lashed out at Trump's nose-thumbing barb which was reported by the Wall Street Journal. "Can you believe this guy? He was fired like a dog and he doesn't even realize it," Trump said of Sununu. "That's funny coming from a guy who's got four major billion-dollar bankruptcies," Sununu retorted referring to financial problems several of Trump's companies had years ago.

Sununu added, "he has no substance, he has no plan, he's all mouth, he's thin-skinned. Trump likes to brag that he can't be bought because he's so rich. "[Russian President Vladimir] Putin proved [Trump is] the cheapest guy in politics today with 10 cents worth of flattery. Putin had him sucked up all the way. This is a guy that you can't have as commander in chief." Sununu also dismissed the hay Trump is making over whether his chief rival Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is eligible to be president since he was born in Canada. "Trump is out trying to knock anybody who's nipping at his tails.

"All his life he's been a lefty liberal, he supports Obamacare, he's all for eminent domain, he has told us he's very pro-life even on immigration. This guy has been a lifelong liberal on immigration and now he's a conservative all of a sudden?

Folks, I contend the GOP has been heavily influenced by people like this man, John Sununu. In his infinite wisdom he has blasted Donald Trump since day one. I can clearly recall the lamblasting he gave Newt Gingrich, too.

Here's a guy who, personifies the disharmony in our party. Do you think in a minute he'll campaign or support the winner, whoever that will be?

All the people running on our side are good people. Each of them can do a better job than the man in the White House now or the two the democrats have.

“All mouth”, he says. Is Sununu challenging Trump to a fistfight?

I agree. Trump is phony and is no conservative.

But I say to Mr. Sununu, it takes one to know one.

Trump is no conservative.

Trump is a conservative, in fact he is by far the most conservative candidate we have had since Reagan, maybe even before. Trump will be the next POTUS, and you'll regret being such an ass during the primaries.

Just a short while back Trump was courting democrats, and I don’t give a rip about what party runs NY where he run business, so if he is now a conservative I congratulate him. If so, he needs to come right out and address this “accusation” and say something like maybe I was but I am smarter now, etc...
