Trump Returns Wills Barb
Posted on May 28, 2012
Donald Trump, who has probably never shied away from a media-driven confrontation, took to Twitter to respond to George Wills criticism that he was a bloviating ignoramus. The billionaire businessman blasted Will on Sunday, tweeting that he may be the dumbest (and most overrated) political commentator of all time. If the Republicans listen to him, they will lose.
The insults began when Will questioned Mitt Romneys decision to appear at a campaign fundraiser with Trump on Sundays This Week With George Stephanopoulos. TEB
Politico:
ABC News Will on Sunday blasted Trump during an appearance on This Week as he questioned why Mitt Romney would host a fundraising event with someone who continues to give credibility to birtherism.
I do not understand the cost benefit here, Will said. The costs are clear. The benefit what voter is going to vote for him because he is seen with Donald Trump? The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious, it seems to me. Donald Trump is redundant evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low and you can still intrude into American politics.

I only wish his ilk weren't such a tiny and inconsequential part of the repub party. he's a bastion of sanity and comity compared to most in that party.

I don't agree with him but he isn't nasty like so many others on the right.

George Will is insufferable, but he certainly did hit the nail on the head when he called tRump a "bloviating ignoramus."
