Trump: I gave out Lindsey Graham's phone number 'for fun'
Politico ^ | 7/22/15 | Nick Gass

Posted on 07/22/2015 5:35:08 AM PDT by jimbo123

Donald Trump has no regrets about giving out Lindsey Graham’s cellphone number on Tuesday.

In fact, Trump said Wednesday, he “did it for fun.”

Asked on “Fox and Friends” whether he was sorry about sharing the South Carolina senator’s personal number during a campaign event in Graham’s home state, Trump said, “not at all.”

Trump referenced Graham calling him a “jackass” during television appearances on CBS and CNN.

“He’s got zero in the polls,” Trump declared. “I did it for fun, and everybody had a good time, and we had a packed house. We had a beyond-packed house. We had auditoriums next door that were packed. The place was amazing.”

I don’t mind Trump the business man pulling this stunt, but Trump the president...no. It is not presidential.

"He’ll burn out and fade away."

Will you be voting for Jeb or Hillary next year?

Obviously, it’s not some secret number if he gave it out.

Not anymore. Wouldn't it be a hoot of someone leaked Trumps number?

Yes; I like that he’s having fun tormenting RINO scum. Correction: I don’t like it; I LOVE it. If/when President, I’m pretty sure he’d conduct affairs seriously as he does in his business life. He didn’t succeed by pulling pranks and being goofy. I would think he considers any negotiation and decision as being as serious as a heart attack.

I can assure you that Trump’s calls are ALL screened.

He may be not cut off by conventional thinking, and town halls are a somewhat controlled forum, yes? Does Gramnesty actually vote his district or is the tail wagging the dog?

It seems inconceivable how Lindsey votes - most SCs (as far as I know) do not support his GOPe activism. YET, they returned him to office. Far be it from me to understand this. But yes, in the controlled forum of a town hall mtg where he seems to know the names of most in the audience AND the name of their dog, he rules. My daughter went to Clemson and works in SC and she was appalled and amazed with his TH performances. I just cant stomach that.

“wanted to stir up the waters “

For that reason alone I’m glad to see him in the race.

Don’t worry. As we whittle down the Republican roster of candidates, they’ll all come together to support the winner. The stakes for the country are too high for them to do otherwise.

A good memory doesn’t make you a good person, a flattering person, certainly, but not a good one.

And Trump dominates another news day. The other GOP candidates are practically invisible. Just for fun? LOL. Chalk another one up for the Donald. Free publicity.

Ted Cruz's chances of winning the nomination are almost non-existent. There is only one candidate that can take on the GOPe with a realistic chance of winning. Trump.

It takes big bucks to fund a national campaign for the presidency. Those big bucks are controlled by the Chamber of (cheap labor) Commerce. You really think Cruz or Paul or any other anti-amnesty candidate is going to get more then token $$$ from big money wall street donors? Well they might get funding if they bucket under like Rubio and see the wisdom "comprehensive immigration reform".

This is war, the GOPe declared war on the conservative grass roots in 2014. Ted Cruz is not going to lead us to victory, I like Cruz, he's a good conservative for the most part but we need a war time leader with big balls and deep pockets. Trump.

Linda is only in it to be McCain’s stalking horse. He wants to push the McCain national security agenda. Hopefully, his poll numbers will be so low that he won’t get on the dais—just the kids table.

"Being Donald Trump means never having to say you’re sorry."

Does it? I guess, if you're viewing him from an awed hero-worship angle.

But maybe you're right. He did say he has never asked for forgiveness from God, so....

Claiming you’re ‘just giving it back’ does not excuse bad behavior.

Oh dear, I am having a case of the vapors. That bad man Trump released Linda's private cell phone number. Linda gave it to Trump while she was begging for money four years ago.

Calling someone a jackass is par for the course for Linda. She called any Rep who opposed amnesty a racist and a bigot.

I wonder if anyone would be brave or foolish enough to do it and take credit for it.
