The Donald: Time for Bush to go into 'hiding'

[onehandle]

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Donald Trump has some advice for President Bush if he wants a Republican to win the White House: Hide.

The business mogul and vocal critic of the Bush administration told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Monday that he thinks the president is a "huge liability" for any Republican seeking the White House. Trump went on to say the best thing Bush can do for his party is to go into "hiding."

1. In our wildest dreams we wouldn't have

see that sob's smirky, smug, arrogant, sociopathic, "nobody's home in his eyes" look again..and hear the lies coming out of his gin hole.

[Bicoastal]

2. Why does Trump think anyone anywhere wants to hear his opinion?

He's a materialistic, second-rate, multiple-bankruptcy businessman who was born into much of his none-too-impressive wealth and over-hyped prestige. He isn't qualified to offer advice to a chimp, much less THE Chimp. Now even his TV show is going down the crapper.

Must go now, before he calls me a big fat loser.

[Honeycombe8]

17. Because people DO want to hear what he thinks.

Yeah, he was mean to Rosie and waaaay out of line, not to mention immature.

Yeah, he's materialistic (that's prevalent in America....do you own anything that is not purely for utiliarian purposes? A CD for enjoyment, perhaps? That makes YOU materialistic, too.)

But he's hardly second-rate in the business world, having amassed a fortune and opened up scores of successful businesses.

Still...I'm not sure he's that knowledgeable about politics. But many people like to hear what famous people have to say. Famous people like Alec Baldwin, Jeanine Garofalo, Sean Penn, and yes, Donald Trump.

[IsItJustMe]

39. I could care less, maybe thats just me.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

3. Yeah, but the problem is bush doesn't want to hide.

Republican presidential candidates can't be any more clear: President Bush isn't welcome on the campaign trail.

Competing to succeed him, top GOP candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and John McCain barely utter Bush's name. They essentially ignore the lame-duck president, or give him only passing credit, as they rail against the status quo and promise to fix problems he hasn't solved.
<snip>

Bush holds the opposite view.

Asked last week whether he is an asset or a liability for Republican candidates, Bush replied: "Strong asset."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070923/ap_on_el_pr/republicans_bush

Bush isn't about to go into hiding. I believe he really does think he's the greatest of all assets to the GOP.

I hope they have one hell of a difficult time dealing with the monster they've created. :D

6. From now on, Democrats need to refer to every Republican as a "Bush Republican."

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. That would be an excellent political strategy

It would force Republicans to either denounce him outright or declare allegiance to him.

[beastofbourbon]

11. Bush Republicans

Bush Republicans..................i like that idea , sounds like an fox news idea.......why not ?

[grasswire]

15. if only the Dems had a strategist worth a damn...

...that would be in the daily message. Sometimes I think the best strategists are on the Internet.

[Auggie]

18. Excellent idea!

[simmonsj811]

20. WOW YARD WORK!!

THE IS THE BEST IDEA THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I WOULD REFER TO ALL OF MY RE PUGS NEIGHBORS HERE IN OVERLAND PARK ,KANSAS FROM NOW ON. SOME ONE SHOULD START A THREAD ABOUT ALL THE "BUSH REPUBLICAN"

[argyl]

21. And the Republican Party as "the party of George W. Bush." He was their

boy when he was up so now the SOBs can sink with him.

[diva77]

55. could add "the party of Dick Cheney" as well!

[NYC Liberal]

30. Every commercial for whoever the nominee is

ought to include something along the lines of, "Do you want 4 more years of George W. Bush?" or "Vote for {Republican nominee}, Get George W. Bush. Again."

[City Lights]

34. Absolutely!

May he be an albatross around the neck of the gop.

[IsItJustMe]

40. Lights went off in my head when I read your post. I do believe that is the best idea I have come

across in a long time. I would hope that Dem strategists would get this idea.

Simple, but very powerfully.

[mitchum]

47. Absolutely (n/t)

edit: I. Can't. Believe. I. Had. A. Typo. On. A. One. Word. Post. :)

[hisownpetard]

53. Not your lucky day! n/t

[DuaneBidoux]

51. A great branding observation

[Cha]

12. He really meant..Strong asshole..

We know bush lies.

[alfredo]

4. How about Paraguay? How about tomorrow.

[txwhitedove]

29. If you can get him in the box, I'll pay the postage.

}(

[alfredo]

43. It won't be first class I assume.

[kineneb]

45. how about in Schroedinger's cat's box?

he, he.:evilgrin:

[alfredo]

46. Even Fox News couldn't get him out of that.

[txwhitedove]

50. Oh no! He weighs too much for Parcel Post, so I checked out

IPS: 160-lb pkg 2'x2'x6' (he's really not that big)
from Washington, DC to Paraguay (anywhere in Paraguay)
2-3 Day Delivery (too fast really)
$1,177.99 (saving the U.S. a Brazillion Dollars!)
Not counting cost of packaging, but that won't be
much cause we don't need any bubble wrap for his ass.

We won't even have to put an ad in NY Times, cause
DU can cover the cost easy-peasy. This is great.....

:thumbsup:

[yardwork]

5. Trump probably voted for * both times.

I'm really not interested in his opinion.

[pitohui]

24. i doubt that he did

trump has bitched about * multiple times over the years

* is surprisingly unpopular in the northeast, can't imagine why, but some of it probably has to do w. a rather sizable attack allowed to happen in that part of the country on the * watch

[Raine]

49. No, he didn't

I heard him say in an interview that he didn't. I know you're not interested but I wanted to correct the misinformation cause no one should be tainted with supporting chimp when they didn't. x(

Edit: changed one word.

[AlCzervik]

7. i think Trump should go into hiding and take * with him.

[monktonman]

8. How did the Donald make it to the DU front page???

Is this news?
Does anyone on this board really care what Trump thinks?

[PM Martin]

9. Trump should go into hiding with Bush.

I'm sure he voted for Bush too.

[307 MMS]

44. Vote/Trump

Does anyone here actually think this guy votes?! He knows the game. Voting is for the "little people", as the "Queen of Mean" so aptly put it re: paying taxes. He doesn't vote or pay taxes and I'll bet the barn on it.
As Nicholson said to DeVito in "Cookoo's Nest"..."that ain't a nickel Martini, that's shit".
Yup...Trump is a chump = shit.

[monmouth]

13. Trump hosted numerous * re-election parties at Mar-a-Lago..n/t

[Arugula Latte]

14. Hmm. I had heard awhile ago that he was actually a Democrat.

I just looked up his political contributions -- he's all over the map.

http://www.campaignmoney.com/biography/donald_trump.asp

[monmouth]

16. Mar-a-Lago is the place where the Repug events are held, maybe you're

right, maybe he just hosted. I can't imagine Repugs going somewhere that was owned by a Dem though.

[emilyg]

27. He's a registered repug.

[NYC Liberal]

31. From Larry King in 1999 when he was thinking of running:

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/10/08/trump.transcript/index.html?iref=newssearch

KING: Now, let's get into some things. The Reform Party, by its name, means reform. You will be leaving, if you run this -- you believe in, what, the Republican Party I believe?

TRUMP: I'm a registered Republican. I'm a pretty conservative guy. I'm somewhat liberal on social issues, especially health care, et cetera, but I'd be leaving another party, and I've been close to that party.

KING: Why would you leave the Republican Party?

TRUMP: I think that nobody is really hitting it right. The Democrats are too far left. I mean, Bill Bradley, this is seriously left; he's trying to come a little more center, but he's seriously left. The Republicans are too far right. And I don't think anybody's hitting the cord, not the cord that I want hear, and not the cord that other people want to hear, and I've seen it.

Plus, I think there's a great lack of spirit in this country. You know, what happened over the last four years is disgusting, and I just think there's a tremendous lack of spirit, and I think the spirit has to be brought back.

[hisownpetard]

54. I can't follow his politics. Hell, I can't even figure out his hair!! n/t

[ismnotwasm]

19. Can you hide in prison?

I'd rather know he's where he deserves to be.

[olddad56]

22. Maybe he can go into hiding with Osama Bin Laden, his partner in crime.

[pitohui]

23. well good for him

i'd be tempted to say "do it and show us how, mr trump," but that would be rude when he's actually taking a stand

this is not the first time he's dissed * and good on him for doing so

[txwhitedove]

25. Think what you will about Donald Trump, the CNN interview was

in prime time and "The Donald" quite boldly called the schoolyard bully out.
He said Bush needs to hide in a corner, he's a liability to any Republican
Presidential candidate, that he's the worst President ever and the U.S. has gone
from a position of strength to being a laughing stock. Best of all, that the
controversial Venezuelan President "Hugo Chavez is smarter than our President."
Bwhaahahahhahah......

There is a lot of poking and prodding of the bully now and I love it!

[lancer78]

26. Trump once said...

that the economy always does better under Dems. I think he is more of a Libertarian then anything else.

[txwhitedove]

28. Libertarian or Martian, anyone who finally stands up to BushCo

and calls them out publicly, is an ally and we should be grateful.
Blitzer looked strained, but CNN didn't censor the "uncomfortable"
parts to please Repubs. And, I agree the economy does better under
Democratic leadership.

[connecticut yankee]

38. But the Repukes pass laws

that help him economically.

[orleans]

32. well, i think george should get out there and campaign right along side

all those repricks

hit the pavement george! get out there and shake some hands! that's what you love, right? go to it! get busy!

[Demeter]

33. Exile Would Be Even Better

Bush could prove his ability to dodge all the foreign enemies he's made, and we could get our country back.

[Yurovsky]

35. Apparently he's busy helping Hillary...

read this, and then tell me you can still support Hillary. Folks, Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY real progressive running this go-round, yet all we hear is how "inevitable" President Hillary is. Sorry, but all that gets us is a less-offensive version of the Corporate Corruption Inc. we have running the White House now.

http://www.examiner.com/a-953145~Bush_quietly_advising_Hillary_Clinton__top_Democrats.html

She voted FOR the war. She constantly flip-flops on every vote that comes out, because she wants to ride the fence long enough to get the Democrat nomination, then go back to business as usual in the Iraq occupation. Sorry, that isn't PROGRESSIVE.

[shaniqua6392]

36. He does not talk like that when he is on Faux News!! n/t

[Broadslidin]

37. Bush Republican Donald Trump, Bush Republican Donald Trump, Bush Republican Donald Trump, Bush Repug

Elected President Hugo Chavez has had it right
all along:

The Blood Soaked Sulphuric: Bush:evilfrown:Republican....!

[trogdor]

41. Nooooooooooooooo!

Don't hide, George. Go campaign with the GOP nominee. People still love you. Really, they do. Just ask your wife.

[npincus]

42. Listen to the FULL 13-minute interview:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2007/09/24/intv.trump.bush.liability.cnn

He rips into B*sh, basically calls him a liar ("Do YOU think he reads 60 books a year?"), says Chavez is smarter than B*sh, says he's probably the worst president in America's history ("Who could be worse?"...)

:rofl:

[mitchum]

48. And that's why bush needs to be dragged out into the light EVERYDAY until November 2008

[lonestarnot]

52. Yeah Donald Hair? And why don't you fucking go with him.

[Javaman]

56. Hmmm, I wonder if we have an extradition treaty with Paraguay? nt
