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.

Hey Grahamnesty - Trump wouldn’t have stooped as low as you did calling for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag.
Shut up and go play marbles with your pal Nikki.

Don’t ever forget that Graham called those who wanted border security and no amnesty, racist.

He is a Democrat, don’t let the R jersey fool you.
All those aisle-reachers like McCain, Graham, Flake, Rubio and other Gang members are Democrats in R jerseys.
There are only a handful of conservative Senators.
