Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claims that a conservative activist group is badmouthing him after he declined to donate $1 million. And he's calling on the group's president to resign.
((snip))
Club for Growth spokesman Doug Sachtleben in response blasted what he called a "childish attack."
"Donald Trumps childish attack on the Club for Growth shows what a joke his candidacy is," Sachtleben told Business Insider in an email.

You saw something a poster said He and I have had our exchange. What does that have to do with you?
Unless, of course, you and "Mariner" are the same person.

Whatever. Couldn't care less. Trump is a disingenuous sideshow freak.

See post #59...I completely agree.

Btw, that's not a real convincing argument. But whatever works for you.
Take care.

Well thank you very much. That is very gracious of you. ☺
But what I think about it is:
--- Trump's tone, aggressiveness, and 'anger' is one of the MAIN reasons people are flocking to him.
What professional politicos believe is bad is exactly what the American people are starving for.
Remember that Ronald Reagan was falling behind George H.W. Smoosh in the New Hampshire primary until
Ronald Reagan's
ANGRY RANT !!!!!!!!!!
at the New Hampshire GOP Presidential debate in 1980.
It was Ronald Reagan's
ANGRY RANT !!!!!!!
that won Reagan the nomination.
Why? Because the American people want someone with some fire in their belly who will FIGHT -- and fight for THEM.
-- So the fact that Trump was intemperate in the eyes of some people is not a negative in the eyes of the people who matter... the voters.
-- And what was the conflict about?
Well, Trump takes very, very conservative positions. The speech Trump gave last week is the most conservative speech we have heard since Ronald Reagan, including anything we have heard from Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, etc., etc.
Trump proposed policies and actions more conservative than Rush Limbaugh would have dared to suggest.
But.... IS HE LYING???
Trump took liberal positions in the past.
So which is the real Donald Trump?
-- But what "I think about this" is that the same criticism is true of ALL OF THE CANDIDATES.
They all lie.
Rick Perry, according to the Texas Tea Party's leaders, worked hard to give government benefits to illegal aliens and created magnets for illegal aliens in Texas.
Rick Perry made a big show of sending the National Guard to the border -- then tied their hands to prevent the National Guard from actually doing anything.
-- So "what I think about this" is show me a candidate who has not taken liberal positions in the past, show me a candidate who can be trusted to keep his conservative promises, and I will wholeheartedly support that guy or gal.
But so far that leaves only you and me, and I'm not so sure about you.
(Just riffing off the old joke, nothing personal, I don't know you of course.)
I actually met Doug Sachtlebein, the press secretary who attacked Donald Trump.
Doug briefly was press secretary for Christine O'Donnell's 2010 U.S. Senate campaign.
He is a great guy according to my brief encounters with him.
But even Christine O'Donnell (and I) used to be pro-abortion at one time.
So how do you judge any of the candidates, that is by what yardstick?
