Donald Trump unleashes raging 12-tweet barrage, threatens lawsuit at 'irrelevant' rival
businessinsider.com ^ | Colin Campbell

Posted on 11/20/2015 7:22:46 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Politico reported earlier in the evening that a pro-Kasich super PAC was planning to unload $2.5 million or more to take down Trump, the Republican front-runner, in New Hampshire.

This prompted a dozen-tweet barrage by Trump against Kasich, ripping the PAC's attack as "pathetic" and calling the governor a "dud" over the report, among many other things.

*snip*

The super PAC, New Day for America, published a letter from The Trump Organization's lawyer warning that Trump would promptly seek "legal action" against the committee if its ads lied about Trump.

"It has come to my attention that you plan on producing and disseminating certain radio, television, and newspaper advertisements directly and personally attacking my client," Trump's lawyer, Alan Garten, wrote in the letter, which was also addressed to the Kasich campaign.

"Please be advised that in the event your ads contain any false, misleading, defamatory or otherwise tortious statements or representations concerning Mr. Trump's business or his brand, we will not hesitate to seek immediate legal action," it continued.

The letter concluded: "Please be guided accordingly."

The letter was similar in nature to a September cease-in-desist letter The Trump Organization sent to a conservative group, the Club for Growth, that ran attack ads against Trump in Iowa. Some eyebrows were raised because the letter was sent from Trump's corporation rather than from his campaign.

I never judge a man based on the color of his skin, but I have no problem judging him on the thickness of it.

Great thing. About time someone stood up to this kind of PAC bullying.

Go, Trump, GO!!! Kick ‘me where it counts!!!

Shame on Kasich and his establishment supporters for going against a fellow Republican, and a fellow American!!!!

We the People are onto you losers!!

Kasich .... Great back in the 90’s, but he’s a brand that is totally out of touch and out of style for these perilous times .....has since turned into a dem appeasing, liberal-lite establishment twirp!!

That’s what I noticed when I watched Kasich during the last “debate.” Kasich looked like a strung-out Meth addict and should have been cuffed and taken to the De-Tox unit.

I watch Trump’s growth on his twitter account. He is basically adding 500,000 followers per month and 10,000 or more per day.

He is very near 5 million followers. By next February he should have close 7 million followers.

Kasich has 145,000 followers.

Interesting isn’t it?

Unlike almost every other GOP spineless wuss (can you say McConnell?, can you say Boehner?)Trump fights back.

Wait until it comes down to Trump and Cruz, if Trump’s mouth doesn’t take him down before then.

The meltdown and implosion will be legendary.

I don't know if it's from cocaine but I can't believe his twitching has not been more widely discussed. It makes me uncomfortable just watching him.
