Yes, Donald Trump gave everyone Lindsey Graham’s real cellphone number. And he’s not sorry.
Washington Post ^ | 7/21/15 | James Hohmann and Sean Sullivan

Donald Trump had Lindsey Graham's cellphone number. So now the rest of the country does, too.

Trump, the real estate mogul whose brash campaign has quickly alienated most of his primary opponents and the head of the Republican National Committee, sharpened his attacks on Graham during a campaign appearance Tuesday in the senator's home state of South Carolina, raising the volume on his criticism of his fellow 2016 presidential candidate — and broadcasting Graham's cellphone number, so others could personally do the same.

At an event here, Trump claimed that Graham called him a few years ago to ask for money and to get a reference to appear on the show “Fox and Friends.”

"I am saying to myself, 'What's this guy, a beggar?'" said Trump, before reading his number to the crowd.

LOL...Yes...roll...lolol..do I hear the dinner bell soon! My brain needs food!

...You said...”If the GOPe can’t take the heat, then they need to stay out of the kitchen”....

I don’t think it’s about taking the heat from Trump...as they’re the ones ‘throwing the dirt first’ from what I’ve seen....I just don’t think they know how to “handle” Trump because they cannot control the dialogue under what they think are understood rules of verbal engagement in a political run.

Trumps not playing by ‘their rules’...so their only recourse is to gang up and make him look like a fool. He’s just showed them you do that and I will retaliate. So he’s setting his own rules....and good on him for doing so!

Dear jimbo123.

I never withheld any credit from Trash for his immigration efforts. I haven't commented negatively on what he's said about immigration. In fact, I only disagree on immigration with Trash in that I think he doesn't go far enough. He says illegals who work hard should be allowed to stay and legalized. I disagree. I think no illegal should be allowed to work in the United States.

I'm happy he's highlighted the issue.

But I'm quite unhappy that he's otherwise acting like a damned liberal. I'm a conservative. I have no desire to have my standard bearer act like a damned dammocrap. This is Harry Reid behavior, not Ronald Reagan behavior. It's wrong when Harry Reid does it and it's wrong when Donald Trash does it.

And if John McCain were running for president again, I'd take the time to bother to condemn him for his remarks.

Lindsay Graham? I just don't take him seriously enough as a presidential candidate to pay any attention to anything he may have said. His candidacy doesn't amount to a fart in a hurricane. I'm still laughing at the whole idea of it.

But true conservatives don't act like Harry Reid. Or Obama, or the Clintons. Or Nixon.

I’ll answer your question. WE PAID FOR GRAHAM’S DAMNED PHONE! Just like Reagan paid for the microphone.

I find it absolutely astounding they'd even consider asking Trump to leave the race.......that is just so stunning....worse case of poor sport I've ever known in a political race when they ganged up as what we heard.

To me they all just announced they have no intentions of fighting if they were chosen as a nominee, rather they're going to play the same old ineffective stances we've seen for years to appease who they will.

I’ll say it again. I’ll bet Graham’s phone is paid for by the taxpayer. We ALL should have everyone one of the crooks’ cell phone numbers and private email addresses since we KNOW they use them for political purposes.

Americans and our veterans routinely get their complete data, phone numbers, financial, complete backgrounds hacked and transferred over to Communist China, Russia and God knows where.

And some folks are suddenly concerned and upset spoiled brat politician Lindsey Graham’s phone number was made public?

Probably. Luntz will have to stand up for his girlfriend Lindsey after Donald publicly kicked her in the rump like that.

I said that neither one was behaving in a very presidential manner. I can’t see Cruz acting like either one. Go Cruz Go!

His name is Trump. And the illegals and liberals in sanctuary cities feel the same way about him as you do. So who’s acting like a liberal?

Something we’re all missing is Trump did this in Graham’s home state and got applause. That took guts.

Curses. You figured out our secret.

I wish Trump would say “Graham is so stupid he’ll probably get a new phone number and have it given out when people call his old phone number.”

sitetest,

You have touched on the core of our dilemma. We have one side that is fighting no-holds-barred and trying to impose a degenerate future upon America. Our side, the side of right and law, is losing. We are losing not because our ideas and ideals are unsound, but because we consider it beneath us to fight in the manner of our opponents. In that matter, we are as the British in our Revolutionary war - aghast at the manner in which the Colonists fight, and unwilling to adapt our methods or adopt theirs. It will not matter that we fought the better fight if we lose all. Maybe it is time for a radical change of tactics, a change of tone, a change in attitude. Maybe it is time for us to act like men, not mice - to be unapologetic in the face of criticism, to say what we feel, not what we think people want to hear, and to be leaders, not windsocks.

Pretty sure that phone number is written in many a men's rest room across South Carolina.

“People are tired of incompetent leadership,” he said. “They’re tired of the Lindsey Grahams of the world.”

Amen, brother.

Graham will know what the people think. But he still won’t care.
