Post by Bradley K. Sherman| Chris Christie is stepping up his rhetoric attacking GOP
| presidential front-runner and rival former President Trump,
| releasing a new ad declaring Trump will "burn America to
| the ground."
| ...
| Here's Donald Trump's own vice president, Mike Pence:
| "Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never
| be president of the United States. ... President Trump
| demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution."
|
| Here's one of his defense secretaries, retired Gen. James
| Mattis: "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime
| who does not try to unite the American people - does not
| even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us."
| Mattis has also said, "He is more dangerous than anyone
| could ever imagine."
|
| Here's one of his former chiefs of staff and homeland
| security secretaries, retired Gen. John Kelly, describing
| Trump to our CNN colleague Jake Tapper as "A person that
| has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what
| America is all about ... A person who admires autocrats and
| murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt
| for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the
| rule of law."
|
| Here's his second attorney general, Bill Barr: "He is a
| consummate narcissist. And he constantly engages in
| reckless conduct. ... He will always put his own interests,
| and gratifying his own ego, ahead of everything else,
| including the country's interest."
|
| Here's one of his national security advisers, retired Lt.
| Gen. HR McMaster: "President Trump and other officials have
| repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of
| partisan advantage and personal gain."
|
| Here's another national security adviser, John Bolton: "I
| have been in those rooms with him when he met with those
| [world] leaders, I believe they think he's a laughing fool.
| And the idea that somehow his presence in office would
| have deterred Putin is flatly wrong ... He's not fit to be
| president."
|
| Here's another former defense secretary, Mark Esper: "He
| puts himself before country. His actions are all about him
| and not about the country."

| understanding what it was like to not have health insurance
| for eight years.
|
| So this idea that I'm somehow the "Hollywood elite" and
| this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the
| man of the people is laughable.
|
| People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the
| Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this
| idea of "coastal elites" living in a bubble is ridiculous.
| Who lives in a bigger bubble?
|
| He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his
| company. He doesn't run a corporation of hundreds of
| thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a
| company of twelve people!
|
| When you direct a film you have seven different unions all
| wanting different things, you have to find consensus with
| all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same
| direction.
|
| He's never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look
| at it and I laugh when I see him say "Hollywood elite."
| Hollywood elite? I don't have a star on Hollywood
| Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard!
| Fuck you!"
