Donald Trump had Lindsey Graham's cellphone number. So now the rest of the country does, too.
Trump, the real estate mogul whose brash campaign has quickly alienated most of his primary opponents and the head of the Republican National Committee, sharpened his attacks on Graham during a campaign appearance Tuesday in the senator's home state of South Carolina, raising the volume on his criticism of his fellow 2016 presidential candidate — and broadcasting Graham's cellphone number, so others could personally do the same.
At an event here, Trump claimed that Graham called him a few years ago to ask for money and to get a reference to appear on the show “Fox and Friends.”
"I am saying to myself, 'What's this guy, a beggar?'" said Trump, before reading his number to the crowd.

Bravo!!!! (and I own Apple Stock.)
low information effetes is now a new phenomenon.
The wine and cheese crowd that operates in denial.
“you don’t play the big man calling Trump names when just a few years ago you were panhandling for donations from him”.
Every candidate running has asked him for donations, even Romney. And Romney was the first hypocrite POS to blast him for defending himself against McCain. This is payback time folks. Stay tuned.
Edited version:
“Bob, (whatever first name of moderator is). Here is the bottom line. Everyone watching tonight is thinking about “which Republican.” The reality is, any man or woman on this stage, on their worst day, is incredibly better than another 4 very long years of the Obama/Hillary, America Last, failure-filled disaster-driven presidency.
I certainly have differences with some of the candidates up here tonight. NONE of us agree on everything... but ANY of us, any one of us is better than another four years of Obama/Hillary failure... and ALL of us, all of us working together are the best chance America has to thrive and prosper again.
Sure, we have our differences, but we all have more in common, more great plans for a better America, and more dedication to that better America, for everyone, than Obama/Hillary could ever dream of.
Yes, I want to be the next President. and I think I have the best plan for a Better America, but, because a Better America is more important than I am, I’m pledging that I will work hard for this nomination, just as hard as I’ll work for a Better America.... but I pledge, who ever among us wins the nomination,,, I’ll work just as hard to see they are elected so every one in America is not a victim of another 4 years of Obama/Hillary.
Yes, I will do a great job as President, but a Better America ias more important than any one man, any one woman, or their hidden 10 million dollar personal bank accounts and secret emails to try to keep the cash hidden.
(raise gently pointing finger...)
John F, Kennedy said; “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. He was damn right... and it’s time every American remembers it!
Applause, Applause, Applause, SRO, ... fade to American flag and national anthem!
:)... but reality too!
Whether or not Trump would make a good president or a good vice-president is irrelevant to me right now. He is fighting the enemies of traditional American values and, to a significant extent, the enemies of the Constitution with his "shoot-from-the-hip", "take-no-prisoners (or 'crap')" approach ... and he's good at it ... even better than the practiced America-haters on the Left.
And if Trump is not always consistent with his positions, well, that's no worse than what we have now ... with self-described "conservatives" -- after last year's conservative-mandate election -- voting to keep the weak, unprincipled, duplicitous leadership in the "opposition" party that we've suffered so long, and for going back on the promises they made to get elected (or re-elected).
Keep it up, Mr. Trump! Your words and actions provide, at minimum, a breath of free air from the stench that leaves the mouth of most "professional politicians".
Or maybe most voters would say, “Why is Lindsay Graham (McCain’s bff) blasting Trump instead of Hillary? Or any of the other 15 candidates on his own side? What kind of political weasel wheedles up to Trump in private when he needs a favor, then turns on him later when he should probably just keep silent?”
Linda Graham said she was getting a new phone and asked I-phone or android? This isn't "gotcha" politics. It is in your face politics that the Dems have used successfully to win elections and push their agenda. People should be more concerned about the Government personnel files being hacked by China and NSA than Linda Graham's private cell phone, which is probably being paid by the taxpayer.
Most voters are NOT like us. They are politically uninformed wimps, but they vote, and to win, we need to capture their votes too.
BS. Most Americans are desperate for a politician to speak the truth to power and not be cowed by the media. How many voters do McConnell and Boehner attract?
Winning the GENERAL election isn’t an important thing. It’s the only thing.
We are not going to win it with the current crop of candidates. almost all of whom are career politicans.
Graham is free to return fire by putting Trump’s phone number out there as well.
Do you know if Graham denied Trump’s allegations? (Idk.)
I am sure that Trump has the goods on a lot of them. I really would be interested to see who his advisers are.
Nominated or not, he fills a VERY important role for us.
Like James Carville, he makes everyone “inside” him on the “Hard Left - Left - Center - Right - Hard Right” political line look like a paragon of reasoned, virtuous thought, except he’s on our side!
Hell, Sweet Baby James made Screamin’ Dean look almost sane.
Lindsey is probably bummed out that no one cared enough to call him.
Voters will understand. Trump's the one in the news. Lindsay's gone after other politicians and they've gone after him, but none of that got noticed.
All that counts is: Does the average MOR voter think more or less of Trump because he gave out another person’s private phone number.
That election-deciding MOR voter is asking, “Gee, would I want him to do that to me?”
Did it win or lose him votes.
P.S., Anytime you have to explain an action, it’s guaranteed to be a loss.
That's the whole point. He says he has been helping them for decades, but what has he actually done over those decades? A parade 20 years ago? A memorial 30 years ago? What?
The point was that Trump wouldn’t have known Linda’s cell phone number except for the fact Linda had come begging him for cash a few years ago. Linda called him a jackass. Trump proved Linda an idiot.
Why are Grahamtards and other assorted flavors of faaggotry so obsessed with hinders? And children?
Voted for Santorum in the primary.
“Bravo!!!! (and I own Apple Stock.)”
Thanks! I’m open to people explaining to me why their kids need smart phones, and maybe before my bones rot away, I will receive an answer. But for now, it seems a FLIP PHONE can cover all of the LEGITIMATE needs of a kid.
Computers and Internet are in my house...always available with my (and the wife’s) supervision, of course.
All that counts is: Does the average MOR voter think more or less of Trump because he put down a RINO who supports amnesty and the tripling of legal immigration over the next decade to 30 million and doubling the annual intake of guest workers to 1.4 million annually (aka the Gang of 8 bill.) Romney won the white vote 59% to 39% and independents 50% to 45% and still lost by 5 million votes. What we are doing now is losing.
That election-deciding MOR voter is asking, “Gee, would I want him to do that to me?” Did it win or lose him votes. P.S., Anytime you have to explain an action, it’s guaranteed to be a loss.
My perception is certainly different than yours. In psychology, it is called projection. Obviously, what Trump did disturbs you. For me, I view it as just another slam against the GOPe, which deserves it. Graham has called those who don't support amnesty as bigots and racists. He has used strong language against members of his own party. To see him get his comeuppance as just another politician who does the bidding of the highest bidder is refreshing. It wasn't about the phone number but the fact that Graham went begging for money and gave Trump his private cell phone number. I wonder if Trump gave him some money. I will have to check,
