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."

"Only a few fringies agree with your “two class” system of citizenship.

So all Adolph had to to to conquer America was to knock up some teenagers, raise them as Nazis, and buy the press?

Rub two brain cells together! This is EXACTLY why we have the NBC clause. To prevent child by proxy rule!

Did you see O on ABC with Stephy . He was addressing the birther issue . He looked weak . At the end he mumbled something about horns on his head. I kid you not.

He wants Canadian style health care. He thinks Ryan is scaring the seniors and he, Trump, loves the seniors.

The man is stomach turning.

Criticizes Ryan and now he’s ‘warning’ Cantor.

give me a break

I would vote for Trump in a heartbeat over those jerks. The only person I like more is Palin.

“He will not run as a third party if the GOP person can defeat Obama.”

That is not accurate. Rush played a clip of Trump this weak, stating that if he didn’t get the Republcan nomination, he would run as an independent, which he said made him “sad” because it meant he wouldsplit the vote and Obama would most likely win.

This bizarre audio bite prompted Rush to respond “Then why are you DOING it???”

Trump is a spoiler. Bank on it.

Link that verifies your statements. :)

Obama Exclusive: I Was Born in Hawaii and I Don’t ‘Have Horns’

http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2011/04/president-barack-obama-exclusive-i-was-born-in-hawaii-and-i-dont-have-horns.html

“I think a problem for them when they want to actually run in a general election where most people feel pretty confident the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. He — he doesn’t have horns... we’re not really worrying about conspiracy theories or — or birth certificates,” President Obama told me.”

That tells me O is scared stiff.

I never watch ABC, never.

But I did hear of the interview.

It's a question will have to answer over and over and over again.

He will have to answer it to the satisfaction opf the American.

"The Question" will haunt him for the rest of his life and will be the Waterloo of the democrat party and mainstream press.

Obama's continued refusal to PROVE he was born in the USA is becoming a troubling issue even for the mainstream, moderate soccer mom.

People are wondering: If he was born here why doesn't he prove it and get this issue behind him?

He has said a few times its all about stopping Obama!

And I believed him, and if he is telling the truth, great.

When Sarah declares, he needs to get the Hell out of the way.

People who don’t agree that the Constitution establishes a higher level of citizenship for the president simply haven’t heard of it and/or haven’t studied it.

Do you have an actual argument to make, or did you just pop in to make an ad hominem attack?

Trump may be a liberal as per Mark Levin. Trump may be a shill for Hilary Clinton as per many Freepers. Trump may now be a 'joker' as Rove puts it or a nutcase right-wing loonie, but when push comers to shove I will support him because of the eligibily issue ALONE! And if he is the best we conservative Republicans have who will speak up and challenge this obvious fraud on America, is he not better than what we have in the White House?

The enemy of the good is the perfect.

Why bother having a Constitution Messrs. Rove, Cantor, O'Reilly, Beck et al and Ms. Coulter, if you take unsubstantiated, oral affirmations of legitimacy at face value that our POTUS is a natural born citizen and mock those of us including Mr. Trump who raise our voices demanding more than a phony COLB and the assurances of political hacks in the DNC, Hawaii and their minions in the MSM? Why not just lock it up in the Smithsonian as an artifact of when the United States of America was a true Constitutional Republic instead of the dictatorship it's rapidly becoming?

Karl Rove divided the GOP with his reckless scorched earth strategies on AMNESTY which destroyed Bush's credibility and GOP unity just before the 2006 midterms .
He was calling conservative opponents racists and the real classic line " Illegals were just doing the work American won't do anymore !" My brother still loves to throw that one out when he spots illegals doing the only construction work in town ! As well as Karl's brilliant idea for Bush and his allies to never defend Bush or his policies from years of highly organized non stop vicious personal attacks. The supposed Brilliant Rove said in 2009 that maybe the silence was not the best strategy to take !
Yep, We maybe able to survive as a country if Rove would shut up and go away.

This argument goes to the core of Obama's greatest vulnerability.

That fact that almost everyone knows that he's not one of us.

If the dims cannot shut up Trump, Obama will be destroyed.

I think that is the most important point right now. The average person can see that Obama's policies aren't working - unemployment, gas prices, food inflation starting to give one sticker shock at the supermarket. He does not appear to be one who cares about America and just maybe it is because he is NOT ONE OF US.

Trump has been seen as a lot of things but a kook doesn't seem to be one of them. His message is getting legs in the MSM and I can't think of any other potential candidate who could get that message out that way.

He sure as Hell did.

He was WINNING heading into the summer, and so he made up some lame excuse about his daughter's wedding and quit, and then came back in a couple months before the election.

Perot would have won, had he wanted to.

He never intended to win. He hated George W. Bush. That was the only reason he entered the race, to deny 41 a second term.

“The average person can see that Obama’s policies aren’t working”

Yes the AVERAGE American may see that, but people with half a brain know that his policies ARE WORKING, just as he expects. THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA.

Yes he immediately ‘neutralized’ Rush by his donation. Good interview, no truly hard questions.

“Frankly, I would prefer not to be represented by a reprobate like Trump”

Do you listen to the reprobate Rush Limbaugh now on his third ‘marriage’ or is it his 4th I’m losing count?

Another observation: can someone please define for me what a conservative is? Perhaps someone other than what I suspect a conservative is may be able to set the country on the right track. For instance, Donald Trump who actually is a business success in real estate.

Are there any ‘conservative’ republicans running who will bring the troops home from Afghanistan? Iraq? Germany? Japan?

How about abolishing the Fed and gold backing the United States Dollar which would end the ability of the gov’t to indulge in deficit spending.

Maybe these are not ‘conservative’ issues. Please someone define what it is we would like to see in a candidate.

Thanks much in advance.

Hank
