I thought Trump’s response to Paul Ryan yesterday was perfect.
This one, not so much. He should show himself as much bigger than Graham IMO by simply ignoring him. The added vitriol is unbecoming a presidential nominee.
At face value it is a beat down of Linda which is much deserved. On another level it is a play for Cruz’s supporters who hate the establishment. Trump reaffirming his disgust for the establishment is a net positive for the 25% of Cruz backers. Lindsay and the RINOs are irrelevant. Trump playing to the broad middle and Bernoe supporters here too.
Yes, Trump “should” be nicer to Senator Ashley Wilkes
But damn - when McCain and Graham travel over there to the sandbox playing Indiana Jones with ISIS and mouth off about us Trump voters (and it is about us) - what man or woman among us wouldn’t enjoy smacking those fleshy jowls?
Can’t you just hear the humphs and sputters over in Ashley’s Senate chamber? They gonna’ need to put some ice on that
If they have glass houses then don’t throw stones at the big dog. Trump is Trump and it’s just the way people like him.
No matter what he (Trump) does, he wins some, he loses some. I like that he’s throwing light on the schism in the GOP. Smoke ‘em out.
Oh hogwash, that’s exactly what we need in an executive... someone who will kick their ass and do it publicly, boldly and offensively.
The politically correct way of doing things is the wrong damn way to do them.
Trump victories prove Beyond any shadow of a doubt that his way is the right way for our nation at this time.
unbecoming a presidential nominee.......You forgot “Used to be unbecoming a presidential nominee.”
He's making sure the message is sent to everyone else.
“I thought Trump’s response to Paul Ryan yesterday was perfect.

I beg to differ.
He is simply putting all the RINOs on notice how he will handle things. And it was spot on.
And your last sentence: “The added vitriol is unbecoming a presidential nominee.” Come on now... Really? This is no different than what they are been saying about him for months. His response was needed and deserved. The time for being “PC” and “respectful” of insults and venom directed at yourself and others has passed. He needs to show that he is willing to stand up for himself, and for the American people that have been ignored and insulted for decades.
When someone Graham likes is nominated we are supposed to hold urban nose and pull that lever, but when HE doesn’t like the nominee his “principles” won’t “allow” him to do likewise.
Trump was right to call him out for his hypocrisy.
The same goes for Jeb, George, and Mitt. They are all the 2016 version of the traitorous backstabbers that turned on Goldwater in 1964.
I’m just waiting to see if Cruz is going to be a Reagan or a Rockefeller this go around.
Why do some of you people insist that we always play nice?
The Prog/Lib/Democrats NEVER play nice, and they win.
The conservatives or Repuglicans, play nice and get their asses handed to them.
Politics is a BLOOD sport, get over the pussy attitudes.
EITHER PLAY TO WIN OR GET OUT OF THE GAME.
