Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump warned fellow candidate Carly Fiorina Be careful Carly in a speech in New Hampshire on Friday. After arguing that fellow candidates South Carolina Senator Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)and former Texas Governor Rick Perry fell in the polls after attacking him, Trump said, Carly was a little nasty to me. Be careful Carly. Be careful. But I cant say anything to her, because shes a woman, and I dont want to be accused of being tough on women. I cant do that, right? Can I do that? Women, am I allowed to fight back? Am I allowed? Shes been a little nasty to me. So I promised that I wouldnt say, and I said it to myself, I promised I wouldnt say, that she ran Hewlett-Packard into the ground. I will not say it, that her stock value tanked, that she laid off tens of thousands of people, and she got viciously fired. I said I will not say that, and that she then went out, and ran against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)for the United states Senate in California, and its a race that shouldve been won, and she lost in the landslide. And I said, I will not say that Okay? All right? So Im not going to say it.

I guess the same could be said for Carly, too.
Is it okay for Carly and Rand and Rick and Lindsey to criticize Trump, but not for Trump to criticize them?
That was all fake.
Then again, so is he
“Sometimes I think it is OK
for Don to say he disagrees and let it go.
Some of these opponents may be of use down
the road.”
Wrong tactic. When someone is attacking you, you nip it in the bud. Otherwise they will do it some more. Kind of like ISIS with Obama. And Trump’s opponents will be of no use to him in the future unless he chooses them to be. I doubt he will need them for diddly squat.
Wait..I’ll be right back. I need to go laugh and roll my eyes. ;)
Just a thought: if you add up Trump’s, Cruz’s, and Carson’s percentages, and then half of everyone elses percentages, you get well over 60%.
That could well be the case.
Yeah, well, for what is is worth, for every one of you that is getting worn thin, there are a lot more people like me that say 'Go go go Trumb go!' I am a Cruzer first and always, but I love Trump. He is a true American, unlike most of the GOP field. And I value that first.
Good clip and attack tactic i.e. using comedy to get the point across.
Keep firing away at the “Statists.” It takes them at least 72 hrs to get their rebuttals from Crawford and the COC. They won’t pay for overnight unless they are using our money.
For the record...I don’t dislike Trump. Some of his methods leave me a little cold.
again, no trump fan at all, but he’s got Fiorina nailed. she’s also a mccainiac, who, imo, purposefully blocked the last, best conservative in ca from going up against boxer. that would be the great conservative state senator, Chuck Devore. she’s a mccain operative, GOPe ruling class chamber puppet.
that being said, it’s absolutely no shock that some would fall for her bs hook line and sinker.
again, i’m not a trump fan, but he does seem to know the GOPe ruling class inside and out.
If Trump will ever accomplish anything of value in our government, he will need help - including from politicians. All these threats and insults may be entertaining (even cathartic!) for certain voters, but they will not create true change. Bluster won’t, for example, make Congress repeal ObamaCare.
Also, criticizing people and telling them to “be careful” hardly ensures they won’t attack you again. In fact, in many cases, it will make them more likely to.
The thing about businesspersons is that they don’t go into business to promote politics. They’ll generally crawl into bed with anyone or anything that will increase the bottom line. Nothing sinister about that, but just don’t be surprised at who their friends might be.
Donald’s kind of a thin-skinned, whiny ass, isn’t he?
.....”Theyll generally crawl into bed with anyone or anything that will increase the bottom line.”....
And there’s an abundance of woman who will comply. I ran up against them with business clients ....my opposition was sleeping with anyone to get the contracts.
Be careful, Washi.
I hope you don’t have any dirt in your life. If The Donald reads this thread...you are a goner. But I guess I am as well. :D
Mr. The Donald;
And just how is that Fiorino "should've...won" that Senate race?
Trump just went over the talking points (the not actually entirely true, so therefore points of distortion of truth that was widely 'talked' about Fiorino) other than for failing to note that Fiorino hadn't been elected to lesser office before attempting to gain a U.S. Senate seat.
So just what are you talking about, Donald?
Don't be so sensitive maybe?
Smile and say something nice about her, point to something you agree with her on, if ever a subject comes up which she disagreed with you, The Donald, upon, specially if the disagreement was on personal basis, more than political basis.
That would be part of a winning plan for any who sought the Republican Party nomination.
Don't publicly slash & burn your fellow Republicans (that is, if you The Donald even are a Republican) even in regard to criticism they may make of your own "self". Rise above it.
Use humor, if there must be a 'put down' said in return.
Don't use Dem Party talking points, whatever you do...and that should go for all of the other-than the 'Rat Party candidates, running for office ANYWHERE in the land.
Or else do us a real favor, go join the 'Rat Party, and subvert them from within?
If it is policy issue instead, then fire away, but put all rounds on target, the target being some policy or position. Don't take out any of our own by friendly fire, using DemoRat manufactured munitions.
Remember R.R.'s 11th commandment;
FWIW, Donald Rumsfeld;
What in the Wide World of Sports inspired that (disturbing and bizarre) meme. That looks like a man(?) wearing a wig and a maternity dress with a beach ball underneath.
I love this non-attack attack by Donald. It reminds me of the approach Reagan took of Mondale in the 1984 debates when asked if at 73 he was too old to be President. Reagan responded:
“I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience”

GW Bush would never defend himself and Trump
won’t shut the hell up. Perhaps both you and
Trump could both stand to learn the difference
between “attacking” and “criticism”. The time
he just spent on 10% Carly could have been put
to better use. And, her explanation of why
she separated from HP is no less valid than
his explanation of multiple bankruptcy filings.
Yea, the anti-Trump crowd just missed the sarcasm of it. He’s begging to be attacked. Demonstrating that a counter attack is also a strength for him. After all, Megyn is on vacation, right? Reason: Her numbers are gonna tank and she needs an explanation for why.
