Lindsey Graham: Donald Trump is a ‘jackass’
The Politico ^ | July 20, 2015 | Eliza Collins

Posted on 07/20/2015 5:14:47 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. Lindsey Graham thinks real-estate mogul Donald Trump is a “jackass” and his comments about Sen. John McCain were the beginning of the end of his candidacy.

“He’s bringing his name down and he’s not helping the process and he shouldn’t be commander in chief,” Graham said.

The South Carolina senator was speaking on CNN’s “Out Front” on Monday, responding to Trump’s Saturday comment that McCain was not an American hero because he was taken prisoner by North Vietnamese forces.

“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Graham called Trump’s comments out of sync with the Republican Party, which he called “the party of the military.”

He also bemoaned the media’s focus on Trump instead of national security issues, which Graham has made the main focus of his long-shot presidential run.

“The world is literally falling apart … and all we're talking about is Donald Trump,” Graham said.

A spokesman for Trump said on CNN that Graham’s comments were a political move by someone who is floundering in the polls.

Linda Graham should keep her mouth shut.

Oh wait, she’s 1/2 of John McCain.

[“The world is literally falling apart … and all we’re talking about is Donald Trump,” Graham said.]

And you and your close-to-worthless GOPe scum have been aiding and abetting.

Graham - 1% (or less)

I despise all these GOPe tools.

Tired of their nonsense, their false promises, their backstabbing, their duplicity.

No wonder people are wanting to go Galt.

These guys are worthless.

“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

See how the uniparty media complex keeps feeding us that CLIPPED "quote" that is around 20% of what Trump actually said?

Can the GOPe just give Caitlin Graham the “RINO Courage Award” so she can go away?

It’s all they have. They are desperate.

They can’t get any sound bites but by attacking.

Reminds me of Tim Pawlenty.
