The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: Watch: Trump Fires Back at Obama, Haley for SOTU, GOP Response Criticisms Watch the latest video at
In an appearance on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends,” Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump reacted to rhetoric that appeared to be aimed at him during last night’s State of the Union address from President Barack Obama and during the Republican response from Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC). On Obama, Trump said he was living in a “fantasy land” when it comes to the seriousness of the threats facing the country. However, as for Haley, he took her to task for weak on immigration and for having sought campaign contributions from him in the past. “She’s weak on illegal immigration, and she certainly has no trouble asking me for campaign contributions, ‘cause over the years she’s asked me for a hell of a lot of money in campaign contributions. So, you know, it’s sort of interesting to hear,” he continued. “Perhaps, if I weren’t running she’d be in my office asking for money. But now that I’m running, she wants to take a weak side on immigration. I feel very strongly about illegal immigration. She doesn’t, and I think the people in her great state, I love her state, I’m there a lot, and by the way I have a massive lead in South Carolina. We have a massive lead. They’re incredible people, and they feel like I do. Believe me. Because they don’t like what’s happening in our country.” Trump was also asked about the potential of a Trump-Haley GOP presidential ticket, to which Trump seemingly dismissed. “We’ll pick somebody, but we’ll pick somebody who’s very good,” he replied. “But whoever I pick is going to be very strong on illegal immigration. We’ve had it. We’ve had it with illegal immigration.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 5. What was Nikki baby doing hitting him for constributions in her SC governor's race -- or the SC House of Reps??? I hate her -- she's a Republican like Flimsey Graham is. The only question is which is more of an extreme liberal Democrat under the skin. Now, if Trump will drop the word illegal from this discourse he'll be the man he thinks he is on the subject. The legal/illegal thing is nothing but a fig leaf for the racial anxiety neurosis. All the system has to do us declare everybody legal and the rug's yanked out from under the Trump types.
#4. To: NeoconsNailedAgain (#3) I hate her -- she's a Republican like Flimsey Graham is. The only question is which is more of an extreme liberal Democrat under the skin. She's the obvious VP attack dog to use against Hitlery. The VP role Carly Fiorina coveted was being planned for Nicky Haley all along, it seems. Haley will be like Palin but more competent at attacks, more dignified, better briefed and prepared. She is a quick study, very bright by all accounts. She is almost certainly already doing debate prep and getting ready to roll for the convention. Nicky Haley may as well get crowned 2016 GOP VP nominee right now. Hell, even Trump would be smart to pick her.

Replies to Comment # 5. Rather impressed with her aren't you? Not terribly. She's okay, done credible enough as a SC pol. That isn't saying all that much, given how popular Miz Lindsey is in the state. I think it is obvious she is being groomed for and promoted by the Beltway crowd as the inevitable VP pick for any GOP nominee.
