Conservative radio host firebombs Donald Trump in ******* interview
Wisconsin radio host Charlie Sykes grilled GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump in a tough Monday-morning interview on Trump's treatment of Heidi Cruz and other instances of sexism.
Sykes, a Trump critic, began the interview on WTMJ by asking Trump whether he'd apologize to Cruz, the wife of Trump's main GOP presidential competitor, Ted Cruz, for promoting an unflattering picture of her on Twitter last week.
Trump deflected, blaming Ted Cruz for starting the back-and-forth, which was ongoingfor most of the pastweek.
The billionaire accused Cruz of "knowing" about an ad from an unaffiliated super PAC that was released before last week's Utah primary. The ad featured Trump's wife, Melania, posing nude for GQ magazine when she was a model.
"Ted Cruz knew totally about it," Trump insisted. "He says he didn't know about it, but he totally knew about it. They sent that out to the people of Salt Lake City or the people of Utah ... He knew totally about it — if he didn't know about it, it would be a different story, but he totally knew about it. It was done by people that he knows very well."
Sykes pointed out that the ad did not come from Cruz's campaign. In one of many questions taking Trump to task, Sykes asked:
Is this your standard? That if a supporter of another candidate — not the candidate himself — does something despicable, that it's OK for you, personally, a candidate for president of the United States, to behave in that same way? I mean, I expect that from a 12-year-old bully on the playground, not somebody who wants the office held by Abraham Lincoln.
But Trump wouldn't budge and maintained that Cruz was involved in the ad. Sykes soon asked Trump why he wouldn't simply praise both candidates' wives and move on to the issues.
"I don't know Ted Cruz's wife — I'm sure she's excellent," Trump said.
"All this was was a response to what he did," he continued. "It was a very minor response to what he did. I didn't even know if it was necessarily a very bad picture of her versus Melania, frankly."
As The Washington Post's Philip Bump wrote on Sunday, it would be illegal for Cruz to coordinate with a super PAC. Bump also argued that such a move wouldn't be worth the risk because Cruz already had a big lead in Utah.

Sykes used the discussion regarding Trump's treatment of Cruz's wife as an opportunity to discuss broader issues of sexism. He asked Trump about a recent commercial, from another anti-Trump PAC, that featured women reading critical statements Trump has said about other women's looks.
"Women are just going to have to see what I've done," Trump said, later adding that "people have said, that in terms of breaking the glass ceiling, that I was a leader in it."
Later in the interview, Sykes asked Trump whether he was aware that Sykes was "a 'hashtag never Trump' guy." Trump said he had no idea.
"I assume you're also an intelligent guy," Trump said. "I know you're an intelligent guy."
Sykes followed up by saying he failed his Wisconsin audience by being unable to get Trump to apologize for his treatment of Cruz's wife.
"Well can I get an apology from somebody who sent out a picture of my wife?" Trump said.
Trump continued:
He knew about that. Is he going to apologize? Is he going to apologize for starting it? And by the way, it was an artsy picture. It wasn't anything horrible. It wasn't Penthouse or Playboy or anything like that.
Sykes asked Trump whether he believed in apologizing for anything.
"I do apologize — I believe in apologizing," Trump replied. "I think before I'd think about apologizing, he owes me an apology. Because what he did was wrong."
Sykes, in an attempt to give Trump advice, also said Wisconsinites would be thrilled if Trump simply announced that candidates' wives were off limits.
"I don't mind that at all," Trump said. "I think that's great — I think that's fine. Who wouldn't agree to that? I think it's great. [But] I didn't start it. He started it."

Trump definitely the greater of evil of anyone else, the man absolutely does not have the temperament nor the cerebral capacity for the office of President.

Stop acting like stupid. That's why in IndiA people jokes about Americans. They say their wives are taken by Blacks, job are taken by China and India. Every country has borders. If you care so much about illigal immigrants then leave your door open when you go to sleep. Once White's are no longer the majority then they will feel the heat.
what the hell are you talking about?

To understand me you need brain. You don't know what the fuck is going on in the world ?
Lets face it, you're a racist. You've grown up admiring white people since they were able to control you and your ancestors and just ******* anyone they didn't like.
We live in a different world and you don't like it.
The first part about being an American is WE DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT YOU THINK. IT'S OUR LIFE AND OUR COUNTRY. WHO ARE YOU TO COME INTO AMERICA AND LECTURE US. If we cared about what the rest of the world thought, we'd have changed to the metric system but we haven't and we will not.
GO BACK TO INDIA you pathetic excuse of a human being and get a job there.
I think you have been "mind fucked" once to often... and aren't up to reality... I won't go into my opinion of what you think I'll just let it go at that
You look at the TOTAL experience of all 3 GOP candidates ... add them all together and you still don't come close to the experience of either Democratic candidate. I'm sorry, but I use to have SOME respect for the Republican party, but this is just ridiculous that THESE are the BEST the Republicans have to run. And THESE are the ONES that Republicans want to represent the highest and most powerful and influential job in the world? There's GOT to be a conspiracy tied to all this. Where are the qualified Republicans? There are some good Republicans ... why won't they step up?
And it still exceeds the amount of experience the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue had.

Trump and Cruz are both going to get screwed out of the nomination. Haven't you considered why Kasich hasn't dropped out? It is a statistical impossibility for Kasich to reach the 1,237 delegate mark, he should have dropped out around the time Rubio did because he had no chance in Hell of winning the nomination outright. The fact he's still running shows where the election has been rigged. The establishment will give the nomination to Kasich, proving once and for all voting is a waste of time and showing how corrupt the party politics really are. Same with Bernie, most of the superdelegates pledged their support to Hillary before their states even voted. The whole thing is rigged. Your votes don't mean a damn thing. Elections are a total farce put on by the wealthy beaurucrats in the 1% holding the nations wealth. Two parties? Hell no, its all one party. The rich party.
but he has CLASS something lacking from the republican party to date!

He should not do that ! What about the millions of the voters ? If they try to snatch the nomination from Mr. Trump Or Mr. Cruz I and millions of voters might vote for Hillary. I hate to to vote for Sanders and Hillary because they have no plan to eliminate stupid ISIS. Once votes then their backs on GOP then it will be gone for good.
Raj ... you better wake up and smell the coffee, my friend ... Republicans change the rules ALL the time to WIN ... Win At All Cost. Your VOTE means nothing to the party; they'll rig the voting to WIN; been doing that for 8 years with State elections against Democrats. Paul Ryan is following the same "denial" playbook he used when he was being elected to become Speaker.
As far as ISIS is concerned, it just shows that the Republicans have succeeded in doing what they do best ... installing fear in the voters THEN representing themselves as the SOLUTION to the threat they created.
