He is a real wracking ball.

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that fellow presidential candidate Donald Trump's derogatory commentary has begun inflicting permanent and possibly fatal damage to the Republican Party brand and urged GOP leaders to stop "tiptoeing" around the billionaire businessman and to confront him directly and unequivocally.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Graham said Trump's personal attacks on Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly after she questioned him in Thursday night's primary debate were "an affront to all women" and undermine the Republican Party's urgent mission to appeal to more women voters.
“I think we’ve crossed that Rubicon, where his behavior becomes about us, not just him," Graham said. "I hope the party leadership will push hard. I hope that those seeking the nomination to be the standard bearer will unequivocally reject this. People gave Mr. Trump a pass on the [debate] stage. I understand that to a point, but we’ve crossed a line here that can’t be ignored. There can be no more tiptoeing around this.”

In Thursday's debate, Trump memorably refused to vow to support the eventual nominee, saying he wanted to keep his "leverage."
But Graham said GOP leaders need to "take the leverage away and not be afraid to speak honestly and directly about this problem."

....”Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that fellow presidential candidate Donald Trump’s derogatory commentary has begun ‘inflicting permanent and possibly fatal’ damage to the Republican Party”....
YES! YES! YES!......Show your ugly rotten colors Graham....sleeping with the enemy of the people... you are going to get yours right along with those your’re trying so hard to protect!!!
His mother isn’t even for him.
GOOD!
He is a real wracking ball.
....”Trump has sucked absolutely all the oxygen out of this primary contest”....
That’s his role currently ....and it’s not a contest...it’s a war being fought to regain our country out of the stronghold in Washington.... Trump, Cruz and a base of good men in Congress are under attach by the GOP and Democratic hold........Enlarge your vision and give our guys ‘room’ to do the work at hand to do.....it’s nasty but it has to be done.
Point goes to our side for exposing Fox as GOP’S hammer.

Really good post.
ROFL!
If I were you, I would avoid the use of river metaphors, Lindsey.
If you and your uniparty's concern was not centered on those who cross the Rio Grande, there wouldn't be a candidate Trump.
You created him, in a manner of speaking.
Trump in the antiLindsey Graham.
Now, shut your pie hole and slither back to the viper's den.
The GOP-e is desperately looking for something, anything to hang on the Donald.
Hey Linda! You thought that an inference referencing Kelly’s menstrual periods would rid you of this meddlesome billionaire? (”Geez, what’s it going to take?!”)
Don’t feel too bad Linda ... we thought the same way about the revelations of killing babies and selling their body parts—yes I know, not as important as micro-analyzing Trump’s stream-of-consciousness oral ejaculations—and we felt the same way when you guys, our fearless champions, decided to condone and ratify the Democrats’ infanticide, which has now become your responsibility as well.
OK, priorities: let’s move on to the next statement by Trump that you Republicrats might be able to hang around his neck ...
Trump derogatory? They should listen to my Republican friends talking about the repugnant party.
Linda Gayham polling at a rounding error of 0% is attacking the frontrunner? WOW!
Swish, Swish.
The title says it all. Graham is worried about “damage to the GOP” when he should be worried about “damage to America”. Miss Lindsay needs to check her priorities.
