Trump Warns Cantor Not To Give Up Birther Fight: 'People Love This Issue'
TPM ^ | April 16, 2011 | Evan McMorris-Santoro

Posted on 04/16/2011 3:49:09 PM PDT by UniqueViews

"I don't think he is really serious when we see a campaign launch on the birther issue," Cantor said.

On Friday, Karl Rove told Fox News Trump is a "joke candidate" because of his birther-centric media cavalcade.

"It's amazing," Trump said. "He's so against me, because I am questioning. All I want to see is the guy's birth certificate."

That’s why I phrased it exactly as I did, AND I said the BC might have that info. (Or it might not.)

Hell people on FR are acting as if they would have impeached Reagan if he did not say exactly that they want to hear.

In the present environment Rove is the devil ...Bush is Obama’s father (he brought us Obama) and Trump is a Right Wing Christian (because he says so)

Im beginning to wonder about people

“Rove slammed COD

I know!

How dare that son of a bitch have an opinion?

Who does he think he is, acting all independently and stuff?

We need to suppress that sort of thinking, you betcha.”

Genius, it was the manner in which it was done and the timing ,I have never seen anything like it, that yellow bastard yelling about a candidate before a election!!

Spiteful and unforgivable.

My problem is that it is an important issue but its not the only issue and it isn’t the one that will win an election.

Agreed about Trump, he’s just saying what people want to hear. Unfortunately what people want to hear and what they need to hear are often two very different things.

What is wrong with a little competition?

The great thing about Trump is that he will make Romney, Huckster and all the mealy mouthed establishment candidates look like wimps, and they will get out early.

If Palin, Bachmann and Trump duke it out until the end, I think it will be good for the party, because they will go after Obama instead of each other.

If Trump goes 3rd party, it is only because the math of the Electoral College will work.

If the choice is between Romney, Trump and Obama, are you really going to vote Romney or the Huckster?

A lot of conservatives won’t vote for Romney of Huckabee and they are the leaders of the pack right now.

“I don’t know whether or not he will really run, but I am enjoying that he talks straight, not afraid of anything or anyone and he is making the “great O” shake in his boots.”

Likewise! And unlike Perot, his positions and proposals are specific (for this stage of the game) and are ones with which I largely agree.

And, since his father's nationality didn't matter then, why would it matter now?

Lack of NBC status based on BHO Senior's noncitizenship is very important, and I agree that it disqualifies. But there are a lot of people who don't accept the premise of both parents. If that's all we want to emphasize, we get bogged down in debate about the intent of the framers, and anyone who wants to ignore the eligibility issue can just choose not to care.

Not so if we can prove that the so-called president has been flim-flamming us. He is hiding something, either on the BC or in other records, and I want to know what it is. Fraud is something that everyone understands and no one can deny if proof can be shown. I'm tickled that Donald Trump is spending his time, energy, and other considerable resources on that.

Haven’t you heard the saying “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”?

Trump is the only one right now who is attacking Obama with no holds barred. So why aren’t you glad about it, instead of trying to discredit Trump?

Most of us are pretty tired of the timidity of the Republicans who don’t think key issues, such as whether or not our President is legitimate or not, should be investigated.

Thanks Rush for giving this a$$ a platform. I guess that $100,000 donation was worth the trouble Trump is going to cause our side.

Too bad Rush didn’t get some advice from Mark Levin before he sold out.

Trump has already announced that if he doesn’t win the republican nomination he would consider running as an independent.

How do you like them apples.......

I agree. And the fact that Trump is being so demonstrably deceptive goes to his character, and is what is pretty frightening.

"people love this issue" just proves what I've always thought about Trump. He's just saying what he thinks people want to hear. If he really cared about this issue he would've been investigating it 2-3 years ago.

“Thanks Rush for giving this a$$ a platform”

Why? You don’t think Rush should give a platform to someone who is not afraid to question Obama’s legitimacy and agenda?

You can always listen to Alan Colmes...

No, when we elected Barack Hussein Obama, a man born from and African Father, grew up in Indonesia, with no connection in his heart to the USA, who attended a church preaching hate against white America and America in general..that is when we jumped the shark. Trump is a businessman worth 2.7 billion who loves America and deals internationally with businessmen and politicians all the time. Your opinion of Trump is just an opinion...or do you think it's time to “fight like a girl”?

You need to be more discerning and not believe everything you hear... Trump may not run at all.

You and so many others try to predict the future, instead of enjoying the present — finally someone tells it like it and not afraid to question Obama’s legitimacy.
