    Pataki, Trump Trade Jabs on Twitter

    Pataki, Trump Trade Jabs on Twitter

    Former New York Gov. George Pataki started a Twitter battle with fellow GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday just days before they will square off in the party's second presidential debate on Wednesday.

    Pataki, who is in ninth place in the 16-candidate field, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, said he wouldn't vote for Trump, the current front-runner, if he gets the nomination. He urged other candidates to join him in a sort of reverse-loyalty pledge.

    I would hope that every one of my fellow candidates will stand up and say our party cannot nominate @RealDonaldTrump @JebBush @JohnKasich

    Trump, in typical fashion, did not take that lying down and questioned Pataki's qualifications to run.

    Why is someone like George Pataki, who did a terrible job as Governor of N.Y. and registers ZERO in the polls, allowed on the debate stage?

    (Technically, Kasich is at 3.8 percent in the RCP average, enough to get him on the main debate stage along with Trump on Wednesday.)

    Pataki returned fire, bringing up some of the billionaire real estate developer's own past.

    Why is a serially bankrupt @RealDonaldTrump who insults Mexicans, Women, Blacks, Jews & POW's on #2016 debate stage? #TajMahal #TrumpCastle

    Red State editor Erick Erikson got in on the action, noting that voters more likely will face the dilemma of whether to support Trump in the general election than Pataki.

    Pataki replied that at least he can hold his head high.

    Pataki on Friday told Newsmax TV that even though he had signed the loyalty pledge to support the party's nominee, he will not vote for the nominee if it is Trump.

    It was Trump himself who inspired RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to seek signatures on a loyalty oath after Trump hinted he might not support the eventual nominee if he didn't win, and might run third party. He has since said he believes the party is treating him fairly and signed the pledge.

    Pataki is just a spoiler and a mouthpiece for the GOPDNC. JMO

    Too bad Eisenhower is not here: Rounded up and booted out all the illegals, while also warning us of the Military-Industrial complex. Has anyone since come even close to filling his shoes? If Trump can keep it up and actually do what he says he would be pretty close. The problem is now, you can't just deal with the politicians---you also have to deal with the lawyer class. Because when Dems can't win at the ballot box, they will just go straight to the courts as Plan B.

    Some more Republicans exposed? Pataki has signed a pledge he says he will not honor if Trump is the nominee. Trump claims he is the world's top negotiator. He spends several hours with RNC Chair Reince Priebus and signs
    a pledge to support the party's nominee and to not rum as a third party candidate. Wait a minute, now two other candidate's say they will not support Trump if he wins. What was accomplished in negotiation. I have a tremendous feeling that someone is not genuine!

    Sorely disappointed but not surprised by the party or any of its candidates.
