Confident Trump unloads on "stupid" GOP rivals in New Hampshire

Source: CBS

"The Iraq war is a disaster for the Bushes," Trump told reporters in a press conference before his rally. "The last thing we need is another Bush. Trust me. Saddam Hussein instead of him you have ISIS and instead of him you have Iran taking over. So you tell me, was it worth what we paid for?"

1. This guy really believes EVERYTHING is about MONEY....

When asked how he would defeat ISIS he said he'd cut off their money.

I half expect him to announce the replacement of torture with bribery.

3. IDK how this guy thinks, but IIRC, he was always against the Iraq War.

I think of him more as a casino boss looking at the bottom line or a plutocrat who thinks money is what government is all about.

That everything is about making a profit. Of course that is how workers make their living, associating with bosses. But why he has to be such a jerk about POC and women, I also don't know. It's not about money, so why interfere with other people?

He reminds me of Putin without nuclear launch codes to extort people into letting him have what he wants. I see no statesman like qualities in this man, or any other good ones.

Yet GOP voters love him because it's all about the money for them. The rest of the stuff they spew is a form of breaking others down. Before using force, stirring people up against each other.

It would galvanize voters to vote against the Donald.

Hopefully, we won't have to endure any photos of Trump going shirtless!

This time he got it right, mostly he's wrong about everything else.

... he comes off sounding like a middle-school bully.

Not only do I not want to see him be president - I don't want to see or hear from him ever again.

Is that the corporate news, ESPECIALLY Fox News, would be ignoring this kind of criticism against Dubya and the Iraq invasion, as well as other criticisms of other Republican candidates, if it weren't for the fact that the front runner for the Republicans is the one saying it.

I love that part of it.

Now they have to cover him - and sent Kelly on 'vacation' to appease him.

Fox'es agony is my delight.

the oil companies, Blackwater, and the others made off of the US taxpayers. Isn't Donald GOP enough to understand how his party works?
