A triumphant and unrepentant Donald Trump launched a barrage of personal attacks and name-calling on his campaign rivals Tuesday, most notably calling South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham an idiot handing out Grahams cell phone number to the whole world
He dismissed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as weak on immigration, and mocked Texas Gov. Rick Perrys glasses and Hillary Clintons hand wave.
What a stiff, what a stiff, Lindsey Graham. By the way he has registered zero in the polls, Trump said, at an appearance in Bluffton, S.C. A total lightweight. In the private sector, he couldnt get a job.
Earlier in the day, Graham called Trump a jackass. In response, Trump called Graham an idiot and held up a card that included Grahams personal phone number, then asked his supporters to call Graham. I dont know, give it a shot, he said.

Im not a fan of Jeb Bush, he went on. Jeb bush is in favor of Common Core and he is weak on immigration. .. Who would you rather have negotiating with China. Trump or Jeb? Or Trump or Hillary? When he mentioned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, he waved his hand to pantomime her approach to diplomacy.

I think Rick Perry is probably smarter than Lindsey Graham. But what do I know? he said, after mocking Perrys new glassesHes got the glasses, oh oh oh. Trump previously tweeted that Rick Perry should have an IQ test before getting on the debate stage, a comment he repeated in South Carolina. I think Rick Perry is probably smarter than Lindsey Graham. But what do I know? he said.
Trump said The reason they are hitting me in all fairness, Trump continued. When you are registering zero in the polls, youve got nothing to lose.

Best line:
If you cant get rich dealing with politicians, there is probably something wrong with you, he said
Agree with your rant....millions of us were fed up with Obama etc so the GOPe got a landslide and they immediately betrayed us. All these lying self-serving politicians deserve what Trump is dishing out. FINALLY someone with a big enough mouth to make a difference.
So Bill Clinton said the Trump problem would soon be taken care of. Hmmm...I bet they figured their media co-horts would take him out. But none of this works if someone stands up to them and the people are too fed up to go along with the trashing anymore. We may have reached that point.
Whether he is or is not is irrelevant at this point in the race. The commentators who are raising his fidelity to conservative principle as an issue are just obliquely defending their useless candidate(s) of choice.
My hope is that Trump humiliates the establishment candidates, and forces them out. I’m sick of nominees being selected by the GOP because its their “turn”.
“To paraphrase Winston Churchill:
Hes like a bull that carries his own china shop around with him.”
Hilarious!
Ah, the ironies of FR. I’m not a “Trumpette”, although I do want to see the stage management of the election undermined. Trump, at the moment, is the best vehicle to that end.
We’re all sick of it. Look what happened the last time unthinking fools decided to save America with a super liberal. More Obama, More liberalism in the GOP than at any point in the history of America and a lot of crying about what people brought on themselves.
Voting based on emotion is what Democrats do. People that cannot control themselves long enough to think logically should switch parties or not vote at all. They are a threat to America. See results of lesser evil voting for details.
Not a Trump fan. However, LOVE what he is doing here. Perhaps I should reconsider my take on him. He’s sounding better every day.
Funny, some Trump supporters and other Freepers get all offended when people are “obnoxious” or “hurl insults” and yet, that is all Trump can seem to do.
Is he not a better man that he can’t do anything else of substance other than make fun of other Republicans? I mean, I get bashing McCain and Graham, but to make fun of Perry’s glasses....really?
This schtick will get old quickly.
Norm, this is a GREAT question....
My guess is that they will be too ashamed that they were foolish and circle the wagons.
Reality show addicts never tire of idiocy. Thats why reality shows are so popular. Unfortunately there’s a celeb running for president and liberals cannot wait to support him in their starstruck fantasies. Vicarious living at it’s most ridiculous.
Forget his actual history. He’s a star.
Explain why Hillary, Graham, Jeb, et al are hands off.
Can’t play nice with RINOs or liberals, it doesn’t work.
Same every 2 years.
will trump take out some media hacks?
who is moderating the first debate?
Wait till he makes his big announcement. Hint ; vets
You do realize that he posted some time ago that Romney was a mistake right?
How true. It's not just that Trump isn't conservative. He's not "pissed off" either. Not a damn word the man says is authentic - he is quite simply saying stuff that he thinks (knows) will get him attention and admiration. Anyone who has paid even a tiny bit of attention to him over the course of his career can see exactly what is going on. And yet, to the Trumpettes......
He seems to be the only one with a shotgun, everyone else has sporks.
