Donald Trump: "Highly Overrated Pundit" Charles Krauthammer Is "A Loser"
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 17, 2015

Posted on 06/18/2015 2:03:54 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

On FOX & Friends this morning, presidential candidate Donald Trump responded to criticism from Charles Krauthammer and George Will on last night's Special Report panel.

Krauthammer said Trump is a candidate who should not be taken seriously.

"The mainstream media who wish the Republicans no good will lavish upon him enormous coverage," Krauthammer said.

"As far as Charles Krauthammer, I'm not a fan of his," Trump said on Wednesday. "I think he is a highly overrated pundit. He's wrong on so many things, including the Iraq war, I've just never been a fan and obviously he knows that and I guess he's not a fan of mine and that's okay. All I do is I speak the truth."

"When I watch a George Will or a Charles Krauthammer, you know, I've watched them for years, they're losers. They're just losers. They sit there, they haven't done anything," Trump added."

Krauthammer got a nice rebuke of Trump in at the end of Bret Baier's show last night - the panel was discussing Trump's many ad-lib sound bites from his presidential announcement.

Krauthammer: Trump asked "When did we beat Japan at anything?"

Krauthammer: "WWII"

I love it when Democrats attack each other. Buy more popcorn.

Bill Clinton Praises Trump: He’s Been ‘Uncommonly Nice To Hillary And Me’

"Donald Trump and Bill Clinton had something of a lovefest Wednesday.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Wednesday morning, Trump said Bill Clinton was his favorite president since Ronald Reagan.

Later in the day, in an appearance on “The Daily Show,” Bill Clinton had mainly positive words to say about Trump, who entered the Republican presidential field Tuesday........"

Trump seems like he might make for a good “Secretary of Keepin’ It Real”...However, there is no such cabinet post in our government and probably for good reason.

"[Donald Trump] has made highly publicized forays into national politics on occasion over the past two decades. Late in 1999, as the presidency of Bill Clinton wound down, Trump was one of several contenders for the nomination of the Reform Party, the remnant of the third-party movement begun by billionaire H. Ross Perot in 1992." Source

1999: Trump jumps to Reform Party

Ross Perot was (is) a billionaire too.

Later in the 1990s, Perot's detractors accused him of not allowing the Reform Party to develop into a genuine national political party, but rather using it as a vehicle to promote himself. They cited as evidence the control of party offices by operatives from his presidential campaigns...... .

Trump has gone off the deep end already. Could be the shortest presidential campaign in history.

I like Krauthammer a lot, but he goes after Trump. Trumps not one to just take it. They both need to pivot and go after the Dems, meaning Hillary.

The mainstream media seems to be more frightened of Trump than of any of the other GOP losers. Speaks volumes.

One is fored to compare Trump’s fragile little ego to Krauthammer’s impressive intellect; Trump comes up short here.

I’ve got no love for Trump, for sure. And, I don’t think Kraut or Will are worth spit in a bucket. They all are users of one sort or another.

He may be smart, but after Cruz had entered the race and Walker was leading the polls Krauthammer was still saying the only two who have a chance of being the nominee are Jeb and Rubio.

No kidding. The last thing we need is ANOTHER ‘THIN skinned’ potus who whines and lashes out over any little bit of criticism.
