Billionaire Donald Trump, known for his barbs as he winds his way through the Republican primary presidential contest, is not holding back regarding his opinion of the debate process.
In recent interviews, Trump was critical of the Republicans’ debate system. He then took aim at Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, calling her “crazy” and a “highly neurotic woman.”
“This is a woman that is a terrible person,” Trump said.
Wasserman Schultz is facing some friction within the Democratic Party because she limited the number of debates. The allegation from her critics is that the limited debate schedule gives Clinton a bump over other Democratic candidates. Trump amplified the criticism by suggesting the DNC chairwoman is promoting Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
“In all fairness, she negotiated a great deal for Hillary (Clinton) because they gave Hillary all softballs,” he said, referring to the first Democratic debate.
The DNC isn’t letting Trump’s comments go by without commenting. They accuse Trump of “misogynistic attacks” and attempt to link his comments regarding the Wasserman Schultz to the Democratic narrative that Republicans are waging a ‘war on women’
“The Republican front-runner’s misogynistic attacks are sadly representative of the GOP’s outdated approach to women and the issues that affect them and their families,” DNC spokeswoman Kaylie Hanson said. “Whether it’s trying to get between them and their doctor, opposing equal pay for equal work, or using offensive language, the Republican Party is wrong for women.”
Trump and other Republicans are not happy with the GOP’s debate plans. All are attempting to modify the rest of the primary process after CNBC received much criticism for looking chaotic and biased when it hosted the most recent Republican debate.
The billionaire continues to blast CNBC moderator John Hardwood. Trump said Hardwood was a “sleaze” for asking his questions that included whether the Trump campaign was a “comic book version of the presidential campaign.”
Trump is correct.
