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.

Truly I don’t think this nation can survive any more professional politicians.
The American experiment will be over if something dramatic doesn’t happen.

It appears we are past the tipping point.

Let’s hope I am completely wrong.

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

"It's always 'Donald! Donald! Donald!'"

This is all BS. JOHN KERRY testified in a public congressional hearing with far more damaging and demeaning charges against veterans. YET! He was rewarded with a senatorial seat, the nomination as a presidential candidate, and now Secretary of State. He is negotiating for a country he theoretically damned, while meeting with the enemy. Donald Trump is a nothing and doesn’t have to answer to anyone, but we spend days talking about a thirty second portion of an interview. All while, there are really serious issues in this country being ignored.

Well, Graham is a dipshit, so I guess we are even. Hey, Lindsey, the world has been falling apart for about 8 years now and you have only sat there on your hands doing nothing about it, so now just STFU!

On their top of the hour radio broadcast, ABC news, while accusing Trump of saying that Mexican immigrants were killers and rapists, they gave the audio of Linda saying the above headline. In Linda’s world, it is permissible to engage in hate speech regarding a candidate over a media ginned up controversy about a supposed insult and come out sparkling pure and an authority of who is supposed to be president. It certainly will not be him. Someone as delusional as he is should not be commander-in-chief.

There are few people in congress that I dislike more than John McCain and his butt buddy Linda Graham.

Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of. Idiots and traitors destroying the last best nation on Earth.

Granted it’s our temporary home, but while we’re here.....

This proves Graham should never be president of the USA.

Look at the Real Clear Politics latest poll numbers...MORE important, look at who is dead last. Linseed Grayed Ham.

Donald Trump, for all his bravado, has....get this....84 times more support than the little feller calling him a "jackass".

You’ve got a lot of company on that view. I can’t think of many worse. Harry Reid is evil, but you have to expect that from a liberal Democrat.
