Mitt Romney Piles On Trump For Savaging McCain, Trump Fires Back

TPM ^ | 7/18/15 | DAVID KURTZ

[jimbo123]

As a wave of Republican scorn washed over Donald Trump Saturday for questioning John McCain's status as a war hero, Mitt Romney joined in with praise for McCain and derision for Trump.

-snip-

Both men lost to Barack Obama, a fact Trump was quick to tout in returning fire toward Romney:

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 49 minutes ago

Why would anybody listen to @MittRomney? He lost an election that should have easily been won against Obama. By the way,so did John McCain!

Bishop WIllard RomneyCARE deserves a Purple Heart
(some in the GOP say)
for grubering America and imposing RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE,
Gay Marriage, and for his surrogates’
attacks on Gov. Palin’s children.

One thing we know for sure is that we are seeing what Trump is made of. He is showing the world what he is like under pressured. This is what world class leaders are made of.

Trump is saying about himself,”What you see is what you get.” We do not know what the hell we are getting with the others. Cruz is not bad either. He refuses to throw Trump overboard.

Finally, it looks like Trump is the only game in town while the other pack of dogs are just howling. Trump has yet to spend dime one on advertising but he is the total center of the political world.

Boy! I like this man.

[Fiddlstix]

YES! YES!
That's what makes me love what Trump is doing!
McLame is NOT a hero in any sense of the word. In fact, he is a traitor to America!
He is an arrogant, self serving blowhard and a liar.

Romney is jealous of what he thinks
are "The Greatest McCain Moments".

When one lives in a liberal stronghold, one has to choose their fights carefully. I live in a city greatly influenced by hard core leftists. If I am outspoken about something I can expect a citation for too many weeds in my garden or a dog peeing on a neighbor’s garden even though I don’t own a dog. Or further, a city patrol car waiting for me to get on the road and then to find some reason to cite me. It doesn’t happen now but that’s because I got smart.

I imagine Trump had to donate to leftists to get some zone approved or license to trade or something. I don’t know. And I don’t excuse him but he’s had to walk the line in a city that punishes even its most illustrious residents. Look at what NYC did to Rush Limbaugh and now Rush is now out of there. He commented that NYC even continued to tax him although he was no longer doing business there.

To get business done locally, one sometimes has to bribe both locally and nationally if that is what it takes. For example, I was involved in some major negotiations to export a product from Long Beach, CA. It was quickly noted that both local and national bribes would be needed because licenses needed were both locsl and national.

ted cruz admirable kept his head:

And is being actively ignored/suppressed by the MSM. Airtime IS the coin of the realm, now. But you don't understand that.

Love your tag-line. My father always said, “A shroud has no pockets.” He believed it and a finer more generous hearted man never existed.

[semimojo]

it’s a sad day at FR when the groundlings cheer a draft dodger for crapping on a decorated war hero under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, irrespective of the war veteran.

It sounds like you expect people to have principles during primary season.

Fool.

[hdbc]

Okay. Apparently you know something about McCain’s service and the special treatment he received while being somewhat of a slacker.
Nevertheless, Trump’s standing, as far as I’m concerned, has slipped a lot with this statement. Notice how he has gotten some of the Republican candidates bashing him over this instead of focusing on the democraps. One of the conspiracy theories is that Trump is a rat plant to help killary. Is this statement part of the plan to get the Republicans fighting amongst themselves and for the enemy media to take the ball in order to malign the whole Republican field?

[GilGil]

And I suppose when Trump gets insulted he needs to look the other way. Trump knows how to fight and he is winning.

[JohnBrowdie]

I assume you read my #77, because you replied to it. but you obviously didn't understand it. cruz isn't being ignored, he's being drowned out by the MASSIVE static that hair-boy is generating.

[jmacusa]

It's the oldest trick in the book. Get everyone fighting each other so they don't notice you're pouring the gasoline all around the house getting ready to light the fuse and high tail out of town. There aren't words enough in the whole wide world to describe how much I hate that arrogant, narcissistic little prick sitting in The White House.

[JohnBrowdie]

It sounds like you expect people to have principles during primary season. Fool.

ah, of course. good point. that was unreasonable of me.

[GilGil]

I did not hear either what they are accusing Trump of saying.

[papertyger]

childish rhetoric — literally calling people names in a way that would make an elementary school playground seem sophisticated — is “beating our greatest enemy on their own terms”? srsly?

When's the last time a sophisticate won AND got our agenda forward?

You are seriously out of your depth here.

[JohnBrowdie]

the last time it was attempted; reagan.

someone from the shallow end of the gene pool probably shouldn’t be commenting on people’s “depth”.
