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.
Now that's funny. Probably the most unserious and silly jackass of the entire primary calling someone else a "jackass."
Is Princess Lindsey going to pout?
Schumer is a fairly pathetic individual. But I don't dislike him as much as I do McShame and Linda.
And that’s why little Lindsey Grahams has his undies in a wad.
He can’t figure it out. After all, he’s done all the GOPe wanted him to.

My Gay detector is ringing at 9.0 with Graham...
Graham just needs to come out of the closet and proclaim proudly that he is Gay!
“I would take it down, yes,” the billionaire real estate mogul said. “I think they should put it in a museum and respect whatever it is you have to respect.”
-- Donald Trump to Confederate flag: You’re fired!
I stand corrected then.
That is very troubling, very troubling indeed. The Donald is dead wrong on that one.
Possibly due to living his life as a Yankee, although that still is no reason to have bought into the ‘that flag is racist’ lie. Even if DT doesn’t know and understand the Southern culture/heritage, he still should say to leave it alone based on 1A grounds alone.
Nikki Haley, though, has no excuse. She actually governs in a southern state (SC) and lives in and around it daily.
Graham's fellow Senator, Tim Scott, also called for the flag to come down. Scott not only lives in and around the state, he's also a lifelong resident of South Carolina.
