Trump strikes back: Graham 'not very bright'

Donald Trump struck back at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who called him a “jackass” on CNN, bashing the senator for soliciting him for campaign cash years ago and announcing his telephone number to a full crowd.

“It’s amazing, he doesn’t seem like a very bright guy. He actually seems to me not as bright, obviously, as [former Texas Gov.] Rick Perry,” Trump said during a rambling speech Tuesday in front of retirees at Sun City, S.C.

“Didn’t this guy call me four years ago? Yes, he called me three or four years ago, Lindsey Graham, I didn’t even know who he was.”

After telling the crowd that Graham had called him to ask for a good reference to be on Fox News and to see if he could come visit Trump to receive some campaign cash, Trump held up a sheet of paper with a telephone number on it that he said was Graham’s.

D.J. Judd, a producer at CBS News, tweeted that CBS confirmed that the number was Lindsey Graham’s cell number.

Earlier in his speech, Trump said of Graham, "I see your senator — what a stiff, what a stiff — Lindsey Graham — he’s registered zero in the polls" and later called him a "lightweight."

Graham accused Trump of “becoming a jackass at a time when we need to have a serious debate about the future of the party and the country,” during an interview Monday on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

Well . . . so much for an endearing or enduring friendship between those two.

I guess Linda hasn’t seen the memo that says that “the party” already has no future so long as a$$holes like him are in it!

Actually, it’s a wonder Graham can even speak given the fact that his lips are permanently welded to McLame’s butt! I guess Modern Miracles never cease!

Trump would never gotten as far as he has financially if he didn’t weed incompetent people out of his organization, something that neither state legislators or voters can presently do with corrupt federal lawmakers.

I thought everyone knew that already.

That’s the way things work: if Trump had `loaned’ him the money, Linda would have considered him a bestest friend.

“we need to have a serious debate about the future of the party and the country”
Linseed (and scores of “concerned” freepers)

Tired of waiting on the GOPe and its insects like Lindsay Graham and their Demoncrat allies—we’re having it now.

Loving the way Donald takes down the idiots in the GOPe in a way that only he could do it. He’s unabashed. Ted Cruz could not do this but Donald Trump can. Nothing against Ted who is my favorite but Trump/Cruz looks like a knockout punch to the left.

Trump/Cruz = 16 years of sanity and strength.

Trump/Cruz = 45/46.

The conservative intelligentsia is going to be offended that he insulted every JAG in the military. He needs to apologize now or he is finished.

Pray America is waking

Once again, The Donald has made a very astute and cogent remark. Upon hearing Lindsay Graham being denounced as “not very bright”, many heads were nodding in assent and in unison.

The Hill.com calls it a “rambling speech”?

Well I wonder what that’s all about?

Maybe Trump was tired.

Or, maybe The Hill is in on the fix to kill off Trump and his campaign.

Surely not.

It won’t be just every JAG, it will be every person in the military and every person that has passed a state bar exam. “Oh, the humanity!”

What the media never reports is without a teleprompter 0bama is incoherent.

Trump is speaking his own mind without a teleprompter which lefties call “rambling.”

I am NOT a huge fan of The Donalds, at least not as much as so many freepers seem to be, but I can’t help but LOVE this stuff. Shaking up the Establishment like only he can. I think thats why his support only grows.

How did he do that?

That’s like saying he’s a racist who insulted every Mexican on the planet.
