Monday on ABCâs âGood Morning America,â Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump calling George W. Bush âa liarâ and tying the Bush administration to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorists attacks was âMichael Moore stuff.â

You can make a rational, cogent, complete argument that the War in Iraq was a bad idea.. but Trumpt didn’t do that. He went full Micheal Moore. The “Lied” part is what really bothers me, because it simply wasn’t a lie. At this time, I am supporting Trump in the general, but stunts like this dont make me too happy. Also, I wish more Trump supporters would at least acknowledge the stupidity of some of his antics. Sure we can overlook them and hope for the best, but to see the fanboi’s here, it scares me for the future of FR and the Republic itself. I mean, I understand liberals going all in on one of their heroes, but I expect better from our side.
I thought McCain was his girlfriend.
OMG he’s running rings around these people.
Trump is a fraud, and Lyndsey, like a stopped clock, is right on this. These attacks are unconscionable - and I think it speaks volumes about how unprincipled Trump is - not to mention his supporters - to adopt the rhetoric of the radical left: Code Pink, John Kerry in 2004. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for brainlessly aping this idiocy.

Tax cheat off the hook???

Oh BS, Trump knows that going after arguably the most unpopular President in our lifetime is a winner politically.
Tump didn’t blame Bush. He was responding to Jeb’s claim that Dubya kept us safe. Jeb should have said after 9/11 he kept us safe. Of course, in order to do that, hundreds of thousands of Americans had to put their lives on the line to do so and over 4,000 of them lost their lives and 30,000 were wounded.
Maybe you can rewrite the “Pledge of Allegiance” so it’s “I Pledge of Allegiance to the Donald”.
Maybe the National Motto will be “You’re fired” in honor of the great leader.
Wearing a squirrel on you head will be a new fashion craze in honor of the Donald.
Don’t worry, I was cringing plenty when he was going off. I DEFENDED Bush for so many years. I made plenty of excuses for him and his administration. If his reputation has to be tossed to the wolves, what the hell, I don’t care that much.
America looks like it may be poised to elect a strongman. It’s probably what we need, but it seems suspiciously familiar as one of the stages of decline.
That is Code Pinko talk and you can continue to ignore it, which I'm sure you will.
I will not vote for the Donald. He is despicable.
Trump can get away with it. His fans don’t care if he parrots Michael Moore, Code Pink, or Noam Chomsky. They BELIEVE in Trump. His words don’t matter. His character doesn’t matter. His previous political positions don’t matter. His funding of liberals doesn’t matter. His praising of Democrats doesn’t matter. His vicious attacks on Republicans as a Democrat doesn’t matter. His present attacks on Republicans now doesn’t matter. His wife shucking and betrayals of business partners doesn’t matter. Beyond that, he’s a pretty good candidate...for the Democrats.
Soon they’ll be naming their children “the Donald”.
Anybody that tweets “nobody likes you” as a cue for his followers to attack like a pack of rabid dogs isn’t a strongman he’s a stark raving lunatic.
Sissy Graham is wrong. Trump has it right, as the article in The Week said:
âBut Trump is not just running against Bushism. Heâs running against what itâs a symptom of the certain kind of insider sophistry that he says defines the political class. Thatâs why he was onstage at all last night. Thatâs why heâs in first place now. And thatâs why heâs more at home in the GOP than so many want to admit.
To understand how that could possibly be, understand what heâs not arguing.
The typical critique of politics today is that the ruling class has been corrupted by privilege. Thereâs too much money in politics; thereâs too much of a cult of access; the tropes go on and on. Trumpâs not saying that. Instead, heâs saying, the ruling class has been corrupted by foolishness. The problem isnât that âthe politiciansâ have vanished behind the velvet rope. Itâs that theyâve vanished up their own rear ends. Obsessed with themselves, they have forgotten who they are. They have lost their way ââ¬â and ours.
Hard as it is to stomach or say, that is a kind of wisdom so deep, so populist, and so potent that many conservatives canât help but flutter toward it. Then again, neither can many moderate or liberal Republicans, which is why Trump performs well across all groups.â
Those who attack Trump because heâs not 100% against Planned Parenthood are hung up on one issue when Trump sees the big evil in or ruling class that allowed PP to come about. Bush II’s hubris got us into a bad war.
McCain and Linda have their fingerprints all over the war in Iraq.
Frankly I blame them more than GWB.
They are both now scared they are going to loose their jobs in the Senate.
Good God you still sticking up for the Iraq War?
I agree with you. Much of the lead up to the Iraq war is forgotten. After the Gulf War, UN inspectors were to be able to go in and check for weapons. Almost always, Saddam held up the inspection giving time to move or the appearance to move what they were working on. Saddam did use WMDs on the Kurds. When our troops went into Iraq looking, they did find trace evidence of chemical weapons. While there is no proof, I have no doubt that the convoys of trucks to Syria before the war was an agreement between Saddam and Assad to take and hide Iraq’s WMDs in Syria.
ISIS today is because of Obama and his decision to pull ALL troops out of Iraq after we had mostly stabilized the country. With no troops there, the terrorists filled in the vacuum in power that was left behind.
I don’t support Jeb and feel that George W. made many mistakes fiscally as president. However, I too thank God he was President and not Al Gore in 2001.
Send me your billionaire hedge fund tax cheats
and H-1 Visas !!!
I will give you DC insider influence and no IRS !
“Soon theyâll be naming their children âthe Donaldâ.”
Then they will start cutting off peoples heads because they drew a cartoon of the Donald.
Trump suffers from Rhetorical Incontinence. He lacks blather control.
