I think now that Trump has dumped the Republican Party, we now get a better view of his pettiness and vengeful mind.
When the candidates didn't take part in Trump show debate it was, in his mind, a direct insult to his enormous ego and has retaliated against the whole of the Republican Party. Remarks include:
"I don't want to ruin my image by saying this, but I'm a much nicer person than people understand," Trump says. "I like to do the right thing and help people. But when people are disloyal to me — I have a couple of instances of well-known people, where I'd help them out, but when I needed a favor, not a big favor in this one case, this guy didn't want to do it. That's 15 years ago. I haven't spoken to him since. He died. He's dead mentally. In other words, for me, they don't exist. I HOLD A GRUDGE. I have the longest memory. I always kick back. I believe in that."
Trump made it clear this morning on Fox Business’s Don Imus show that HE'S GOING TO HOLD A GRUDGE "I don't want to ruin my image by saying this, but I'm a much nicer person than people understand," Trump says. "I like to do the right thing and help people. But when people are disloyal to me — I have a couple of instances of well-known people, where I'd help them out, but when I needed a favor, not a big favor in this one case, this guy didn't want to do it. That's 15 years ago. I haven't spoken to him since. He died. He's dead mentally. In other words, for me, they don't exist. I HOLD A GRUDGE. I have the longest memory. I always kick back. I believe in that."
Trump doesn't like Rove's "joke" comment, either. "That was a very nasty thing for him to say," he mutters darkly. "He shouldn't have said that. We'll have it out with Karl Rove. I don't lose too often."
"I like to do the right thing and help people.

I believe in that."
It's kind of weird hearing Trump spit out his words with such rigid vehemence just like he does on his reality show, knowing how huge a constant that grudge-holding is with him and that you yourself might one day be on the receiving end of just such a grudge.
What a first class a-hole.
People love to listen to him talk. They like the way how he says that other countries should pay for our protection. They also likes the way how he says he’ll make China pay. If Trump ever got his hands on the power of this country he would have us in trade wars within months and major wars within a year. Trump, fun to watch, but not what America needs.
He shouldn’t hold a grudge against Newt, since he was the only one who offered Trump any deference. He ought to hold out for a position in the Gingrich campaign and/or administration.
Trump: No one party can contain his enormous ego.
I heard he wants to rename the USA and call it the United States of Trump.
Trump is as bad, if not worse, than the Clintons when it comes to a GRUDGE.
Trump is a man of principle.
The principle being that of a kid in a playground football game, who, if the others don’t play the game his way, he’s going to take his football, and go play with a different group that might be more amenable to his way of playing the game.
In other words, he’s a first class a-hole.
Since when was Trump ever a part of the conservative ideal?
Just because a guy likes money doesn’t make him conservative.
Witness Warren Buffet, Bill Gates or any of the Kennedys.
Dump Trump!
Nam Vet
Why? Rove is doing the same thing to voters! Revenge on voters w/his half *** candidate he keeps pushing to keep GOP elite control. Good on Trump.
I wanted to see that debate - what part of a candidate NOT willing to debate but wants the highest office in the land do you embrace?
Mitt uses money to win and not his half a** concern for America. He can’t win on his love or success FOR America.
All the weasels CANNOT handle scrutinity but want to lead us? IMO, Santorum and NEWT are the only ones with integrity - sink or swim - they want the BEST for America - the other candidates want the best for themselves.
There would be NO protection from the media in that debate - and whatever the candidates lack will surface for sure!
Trump as a Third Party candidate will give a second term for Obumba. That means the big O gets to name two more Supreme Court judges and will get a chance to complete his "transformation" of America.
Kinda like Arlen Specter.
Donald Trump, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.....the three amigos.
What do you do if your candidate is a dud? Split the Republican vote. Democrats - they try to pick all the candidates.
Birthers threw the door open and invited him in...happy now?
Haw Hoo!
Rove et al can shove Romney where the sun don't shine.
Trump, who is your base of support? Who are your constituents?
So, I think he believes in holding a grudge.
