Donald Trump dismissed as 'carnival barker' at major Democrat fundraiser

Source: The Guardian

In the ballroom of a hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire, the three Democratic candidates took turns appealing to a raucous crowd of more than 1,000 party faithful, with Donald Trump dismissed as a “carnival barker”.

=snip=

It was again O’Malley who led with the most forceful attack, calling Trump an “immigrant bashing, carnival barker” and likening him to Joseph McCarthy, a conservative US senator who stoked anti-communist fear in the early cold war years.

“Well Donald Trump, when you start your registry of Americans who oppose your backward ideas,” O’Malley bellowed, punching each word for emphasis, “you can start with me.”

Asked after his speech if he considered Trump a fascist, O’Malley replied: “The appeals that he’s making – the sort of toxic mix of opportunism with public panic –are the same sort of appeals that have preceded fascists and fascism in the past.”

Plus, it's a Repuke idea originated by C. Rove & N. Gingrich.

They should not use "Democrat as an adjective." I agree. But should you call them "Repukes?" If you can call them that why can't they use "Democrat?"

He mentions certain celebrities coming to the bar when he was bartending, and one celebrity was Trump. He writes about when Trump came in with his then-fiancee Melania and ordered a couple of drinks. He left without paying, so the bartender got no tip.

What a jerk, but that's already written all over his face anyway--you don't need me to tell you that. When he enters a room he has that demeanor of parting the seas. "I'm here now. Everyone can breathe." It's amazing what a gorgeous woman like Melania is willing to overlook for a measly few billion.

What's more amazing is what his "fans" are willing to overlook for nothing at all.

The author said nice things about Ivana and Ivanka who each came in on separate occasions from Trump, but he didn't like Trump at all.
