Donald Trump vs Karl Rove – “Karl Rove is a total loser”

Reality television celeb Donald Trump on Thursday tweeted a few tart tongued messages on Twitter aimed at Karl Rove, whose new group to find electable Republican candidates has set off an intra-party feud.

In his tweets, Trump made it clear that he’s siding with the tea party faction in the quarrel, calling Rove a “total loser” and questioning the wisdom of donating money to Rove’s new group, the “Conservative Victory Project.”

Donald Trump offers $5 million for President Obama’s passport and college records

Blowhard Donald Trump’s “October Surprise” is a big flat tire. 

The real estate mogul, reality TV star and de facto leader of the “birther” movement, made his “big announcement” about President Barack Obama on Wednesday, saying he would give $5 million to a charity of Obama’s choice in exchange for releasing his college records and passport application.

In an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Monday, Trump said, “I have something very, very big concerning the president of the United States. I will be announcing it sometime probably Wednesday and it’s going to be very big.”

“Will it change the election?” co-host Gretchen Carlson asked Trump. “Possibly,” Trump replied. “It’s very big—bigger than anybody would know.”

This is the kind of thing that changes nothing in the current election.  I’m guessing the Donald was feeling ignored lately…

Donald Trump on the electability of Rick Santorum

Michigan votes one week from Tuesday, and Trump is scheduled to take to the state’s airwaves daily this week to speak on Romney’s behalf.

“There’s nothing – there’s no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats,” Trump said in a radio interview which aired in Michigan. Democrats, he continued, “are just salivating at that. And, you know, I don’t think they believe it’s going to happen. But boy, would they like it to happen because that would be an easy election.”

The perception of electability was a major factor in deciding to endorse Romney, Trump said, and Republicans would be foolish to put forward Santorum as their nominee because “he basically has no chance” of winning.

Donald Trump cancels his proposed GOP debate

Donald Trump has cancelled the debate he had planned to moderate with the current GOP presidential candidates.

Trump said he will not moderate the event to avoid a conflict of interest in light of the fact he may still pursue a potential independent presidential bid.

“It is very important to me that the right Republican candidate be chosen to defeat the failed and very destructive Obama Administration, but if that Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate, I am not willing to give up my right to run as an Independent candidate,” Trump said in a statement. “Therefore, so that there is no conflict of interest within the Republican Party, I have decided not to be the moderator of the Newsmax debate.”

Republican candidates Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, and Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, were the only GOP candidates to agree to appear.

“I would like to thank Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum for having the courage, conviction, and confidence to immediately accept being a part of the Newsmax debate,” Trump said. “I believe this would not only have been the most watched debate, but also the most substantive and interesting debate!”
