Tell Us How You Really Feel, Donald Trump

Los Angeles Times:

Donald Trump has some interesting advice for the Republican Party. The New York real estate tycoon went on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning and told the hosts that if the GOP wants to ensure that President Obama isn’t reelected, all it has to do is not make any deals with Democrats and default on Aug. 2.

Trump seems to think that using the country’s sparkling AAA credit rating as a sacrificial lamb and letting the nation default would damage Obama, who has been willing to put everything including entitlements on the table, more than it would hurt Republicans who have stubbornly refused to raise revenues on the richest Americans and companies during the debt ceiling negotiations.

“When it comes time to default, they’re not going to remember any of the Republicans’ names. They are going to remember in history books one name, and that’s Obama,” Trump said…

History may remember Donald Trump’s name, too. Maybe not in a good way.
