Michael Dukakis on Donald Trump: 'I think he's ...
Speaking with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Michael Dukakis, the former senator from Massachusetts, has described the 2016 race for the Republican nomination as a food fight.

The idea he didn't "fight back" is ludicrous. DUKAKIS - NOT BUSH - ran a furlough ad about the Patsy Pedrin murder by Angel Medrano, an ad considered "racist" when Bush didn't actually run one on Horton (it was run by an independent group, which is why now we have the 527s). The fact is, Dukakis couldn't let people know what he was in favor of for one simple reason: he was out of the mainstream. You cannot: a) oppose the death penalty AND b) oppose home ownership of handguns WHILE AT THE SAME TIME c) thinking first-degree murderers serving life sentences should get weekend furloughs. He ran a rather hard-hitting ad with a tumbler dressed up to look like Gephardt to beat him in the primaries, and it was Dukakis' consultants (Sasso and Tully) who knocked Biden out of the race with the plagiarism video. As years have gone by, I have come to admire and respect Dukakis more than I did when he ran. Would I have voted for him over Bush in 1988 - even today? No, but one thing he has been is a consistent liberal through the decades, even willing to say (later) that the US was kind of hypocritical to whine about the Russian interference in the 2016 election given our own history while simultaneously calling out Trump. One could argue "Dukakis should have hit back" but what was he supposed to do on crime? He DID gut punch Bush in the first debate on the flag "issue", and they had to drop it.

Dukaukis didn't lose because he had a clean campaign. He lost because he was an establishment hack who nonetheless had a weak personality. If he thinks being the grandson of an immigrant means you have to support unlimited illegal immigration, then he doesn't understand reality or the mood in the country, and he never did. He was the limousine liberal candidate for 1988. Part of his success was that Jesse Jackson emerged as his main challenger. I don't know what went wrong with the Gore and Gephardt campaigns but either would have had a much better shot against Bush.

Dukakis was a dull candidate. Very weak choice. Even if he won by a stroke of luck he would have been a one-term President. No way his policies would have even been 'yays' by the Republicans in the House and Senate. He would've been the Carter of the late 80s/early 90s. The Democrats sure had the weakest, least charismatic candidates that year. I think Gary Hart was the decent choice that year(had no scandals occurred). Look at where that liberalism/communsim/socialism led us now with BidenBrandon Harris in office. Lord, save us!

Dukakis has recently said on FOX NEWS that "Refusing to Raise the Debt Ceiling is Stupid". Spoken Like a True Democrat!
Dukaukis didn't lose because he had a clean campaign. He lost because he was an establishment hack who nonetheless had a weak personality. If he thinks being the grandson of an immigrant means you have to support unlimited illegal immigration, then he doesn't understand reality or the mood in the country, and he never did. He was the limousine liberal candidate for 1988. Part of his success was that Jesse Jackson emerged as his main challenger. I don't know what went wrong with the Gore and Gephardt campaigns but either would have had a much better shot against Bush.

Dukakis' mother is the shame of Aromanians as she was a complete w**** who had an affair with a hellenized Anatolian and practised disgusting miscegenation. None of his parents are actually Greek, he is mix of completely incompatible races.
1988 called, they want your Eyebrows back
For the record, Dukakis was a Governor and WAS NOT a (U. S.) Senator.
Damn this guy is very smart. I can tell. He probably would have been a better president then Bush If he was elected

I give it to Dukakis with the tank there was no question he was for military and that should mean gun rights.thats a hard stance for military
I give it to him on the part there is zero imagration if your not going to correct with humantarin then sweep it under the rug
His voice reminds me of air plaine pilots and the control tower talking over the radios when I listen to them on the scanner and may I add he looks almost like Fred Rogers.
I didn´t recognize him without his "tanker helmet". There you go again with that stinking wall. What you need is a three stories deep footing below the fence that you have. Maybe you can catch some of them "mole people".
NRA sent over 15 million separate mail packages to members and other known gun owners urging his defeat. (He did have contempt for us) But he would have lost anyway

DA Alan Bragg of Manhattan is the new Michael Dukakis in the 1988 election.
Where did he get the 0 number for net illegal immigration? Would love to see Ann Coulter respond to that.

Well, at least Dukakis no longer has the distinction of being the worst candidate of all time. Now Hillary holds that title. Congrats, Governor.

Dukakis was a dull candidate. Very weak choice. Even if he won by a stroke of luck he would have been a one-term President. No way his policies would have even been 'yays' by the Republicans in the House and Senate. He would've been the Carter of the late 80s/early 90s. The Democrats sure had the weakest, least charismatic candidates that year. I think Gary Hart was the decent choice that year(had no scandals occurred). Look at where that liberalism/communsim/socialism led us now with BidenBrandon Harris in office. Lord, save us!
