webfact Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 In South Carolina, Trump lashes out at rivalsBy BILL BARROW and JILL COLVINNORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump lashed out at rivals and complained about mistreatment by the media on Wednesday, apparently stung by a rash of criticism about his comments on immigration and women.It's not like the other GOP candidates particularly like each other, Trump groused. Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush "hate each other, but they can't say it," he added. "I'm so tired of this politically correct crap."Eclipsed this week by Pope Francis' tour of the U.S., the billionaire developer and former TV reality show star spent his day slinging insults.He tweeted Wednesday that he's boycotting Fox News, even though the network said officials there had canceled a Trump appearance first. Trump also complained that rival Rubio has gotten too much attention for gaining on Bush in some polls of Republican primary voters. And he said Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul should drop out of the race because of his low showing in the polls. Former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina, who is surging, might be broke, Trump suggested at one stop. And Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton is "shrill," he said at another, adding that her campaign "is coming down like a really, really sick rocket."Trump still leads most polls for the GOP nomination less than five months before voting begins with the Iowa caucuses."The polls are through the roof," he told a session of South Carolina's African-American Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Charleston Business Alliance, another group of black business leaders.But there were signs that the campaign trail had lost some shine for the billionaire developer.Trump spoke in South Carolina a few hours after tweeting that he is boycotting Fox News. A Fox spokeswoman says Trump's announcement came after the channel canceled a scheduled Trump appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" Thursday. Trump has been feuding with Fox since the first Republican primary debate, when he objected to moderater Megyn Kelly pressing him to explain incendiary comments he's made about women.In North Charleston, the candidate didn't specifically mention his ongoing spat with Fox News, instead weaving meandering attacks on the media and his opponents together with his usual promises to make the nation "great" and "rich" once again.He saved particular venom for Rubio."He's overly ambitious, too young, and I have better hair than he does, right?" Trump told his audience in North Charleston.Later in the capital city of Columbia, Trump suggested Rubio is a "lightweight" who "sits in the Senate, and I'm out creating jobs."Earlier, Trump cast Fiorina — another "outsider" candidate trying to appeal to anti-establishment Republicans — as another politician looking for donors who will ultimately control her."Carly is out there fighting to raise money," he said. "She doesn't want to spend her own money. Maybe she doesn't have it."Fiorina suggested Tuesday in a stop at Myrtle Beach on the state's coast, that she is making Trump "nervous."He mocked his rivals for sweating during the CNN debate."That room was 100 degrees. That room was hot. I mean poor Chris Christie," Trump said of the New Jersey governor. "He's a nice guy; it wasn't fair."Trump repeated his assertion that Clinton, during the 2008 presidential campaign, started the discredited "birther" movement whose members falsely claim that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. There's been no evidence tracing the charge to Clinton or her campaign.In an interview on The Tom Joyner Radio Show earlier Wednesday, Clinton called Trump's assertion that she started the birther claims "ludicrous." She told guest host Don Lemon: "You know, I have been blamed for nearly everything. That was a new one to me."___Colvin reported from Newark, New Jersey.

ggt Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Would be a good move if Mr. Trump would spend more time lashing out at political and social injustice.,, Lashing out at opponents has become quite boring now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaurene Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 And so many seem to want him as President, my God help us all. He cannot controled his Gold Fish Mouth. Can you really imagine him being able to talk with the likes of Putin or the China guy about compromise, he would just get up and walk out if it did not go his way. He will be a war monger. Come on your USA supporters can you not see past you immigration shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakuho Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 GOP hates Trump...there's one good reason to support him. However, politicians are all in the bag for the elitists who pay their salaries....so, my question is, who is Trump working for? His 12 billion net worth is peanuts compared to the trillionaires who run the show on the 3rd planet from the sun.....also, Carly helped to ruin a fabulous technological entity-HP was doing alright; now they only have their printer business....ripping off millions for ink cartridges.... IBM became China's Lenova and GM became China Motors...can you name other corporations that were 'given' to foreign interests? FEDERAL reserve was one of the first; 1913....

I also understand that Carly has some faked scare video's out in the public domain that she is trying to use against PP. Apparently fax checker has proven them false but sadly the damage might already be done. If their statements do not hold water they should be kicked out of the race for lying. She was a failure at HP so now she is running for president? Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
