Real-estate magnate Donald Trump fired off angry tweets at one of his GOP rivals in the presidential race Wednesday, accusing him of being a has-been who couldn't get elected to office again.
The rival, former New York Gov. George Pataki (R), has recently been criticizing Trump's controversial comments about illegal immigration.
Pataki told Business Insider on Tuesday that Trump was "disrespectful" and subsequently wrote a letter to the Republican field urging them to join him in denouncing Trump.
Trump, as is his wont, responded by trashing Pataki on Twitter:

No trump supporter hear, but he was on Howie Carr and winked that you have to pay off politicians if you want to get anything done, grease the wheels.
Immediately strike their weakest point, twice as hard and keep pounding until you have total capitulation.
That's the only way to beat that Method and that's what Trump is doing.
“That is a weird thing for a 69 year old man who has been trying to run for office for 16 years, and never won an election, to say to his Governor.”
Six presidents who never previously won an election:
1. George Washington
2. Hebert Hoover
3. U. S. Grant
4. D. D. Eisenhower
5. Zachary Taylor
6. William Taft
“Stay classy Donald...real presidential material.”
Like Jimmy Carter?
Which has voters that candidate hop like a hooker with a crack habbit. So that likely isn’t a big hurdle for him to overcome with reality TV theatrics.
See: Perry/Rubio/Paul/Walker and the entire 12 primary for details.
Yea hes 100% right on this. But what lies beyond that is the problem.
And thus he is already cool with crony capitalism and political graft.
Not a plus.
While I don’t support Trump for pres, I’m truly enjoying this back and forth with libs play out. It’s refreshing to hear somebody put them in their places.
As for his political experience: I’m not a D.C. elite snob. I’d love to have some fresh blood in the swamp.
“That is a weird thing for a 69 year old man who has been trying to run for office for 16 years, and never won an election, to say to his Governor.”
Well said. It is Trump who cannot be elected even as a dog catcher. Just watch this freak turn this primary from liberalism’s failure to Trump’s private freakshow.
I'd rather do business with the John than the whore who took the money.
Where is the money coming from for the ENTIRE rest of the GOP field?
Dons ‘business’ partners. Thus the problem
Well the "majority" was stupid enough to vote for Clinton twice, Obama twice, and now Hillary thinks she has a chance. And the GOPe has been been leading conservatives around by the nose for decades, fooling them into accepting "reach across the aisle" RINOs as conservatives while betraying their base by supporting Democrat policy.
At least Trump isn't afraid to call these wimpy "Republicans" out. I want to see more of this. If the Republican Party can't take it, well, just too bad for them. I think Trump should just call the Republicans "racist." That will cow them and have them them licking Trump's shoes clean.
Trump sold Paradise Island in the Bahamas to Merv.
After the Deal was done, Trump said Merv got the short end of the Deal. Merv denied it.
Don’t know what transpired that would make Trump act like he screwed over Merv in the Deal.
Thank you.
I loved Merv——even the coconut song.:-)

I believe you have nailed it! Just what I was thinking.
There is no reason why Pataki is running except maybe blind ambition flying in the face of reality. Ditto Trump. Lucky we have some actual strong conservatives in the mix. Let’s see how it plays out and who survives the librul shredding machine.
First, that has nothing to do with my post, and how stupid Trump’s remark was, zero.
As for your list, Trump didn’t command American forces in it’s two biggest wars, and Trump wasn’t in politics and Secretary of War like Taft who was the U.S. Solicitor General, judge, Governor-General of the Philippines, and other offices, ditto Hoover.
As far as George Washington, as you dare compare this real estate/TV personality huckster with Washington and the other great men of American history.
Washington was a lifelong politician, who lost his first election in 1755, but was elected in 1757, and he held elective office for about 25 years, spread out over 42 years of his life.
Trumps remark to a man who was his Governor, has been elected Mayor, and into the state Assembly, and the state Senate, that he couldn’t be elected a dog catcher, is stupid.
Do you realize that Bill Clinton is Trump's favorite President, and that Trump has supported Hillary, and that Trump left the GOP and was a democrat from 2001 to 2009?
Trump joined the party of the Al Gores' and Clintons, and Obama, and John Kerry.

Hi ansel12,
If you prefer, feel free to respect for illegal alien robbers, murderers, rapist, drunk drunk drivers, burglars, gangs and thieves.
Maybe Trump will strive and endeavor to be as good as these career professional politicians.
It was Pataki’s 30 year old son-in-law, who suffered the serious stroke. Sad news...prayers up. Seems like Pataki should be focusing on family - since he did suspend his Presidential campaign over this - rather than shoot arrows at Trump, over illegals.
