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.”

I just hope (or maybe not) a M4M Craigslist ad doesn’t surface saying some like “Hi, my name is Lindsay, for a good time, call.......!”

Wait, never mind...

I hope the conservative intelligentsia remember that Clinton completed his turn because Graham voted with the democrats on the committee and killed the most important article of impeachment.

Hey Graham! We are now beginning to have that conversation. Just because you don't like the direction it's taking doesn't mean the conversation is unserious.

The vast majority of these politicians believe that they are our betters.

YES! Twenty minutes in and I can attest that Trump is telling it like it is with no “rambling”.

You’re so right. Being real, and honest, and having a conversation with his audience is no longer the political style of American wannabeeeeees. It’s known as rambling.

I am very surprised to see the response here to Trump giving out a personal phone number of anyone. I am a big fan but thought this move was sophomoric and unprofessional. I expected the same thoughts from FReepers.

I am at work but I had to take a quick look at facebook, sure enough Donald has a site and so does Linda. Linda put on hers something like “getting a new phone, android or iphone?” and someone responded “poor baby, guess you shouldn’t call people jackasses”. lol.

Another thing I noted, Donald has a HUGE amount of followers, responses and likes. Lindsey G has only a very few and they’re not too approving of him.

“becoming a jackass at a time when we need to have a serious debate about the future of the party and the country,”


The problem is, Ms. Graham, this country and party has needed a serious discussion for a long time now. You Rinos are too pleased with the mess we are in and won’t challenge it. Trump is talking.

The number still works...Unfortunately, Linsey’s mail box is full so one can’t leave a message.

Rambling? More like EPIC. We've waited 20 freakin years for someone to unmask Caitlin Graham like this. BRILLIANT!

Not sophomoric or unprofessional; Lady Gramnesty is a so called Senator.
Every damn phone number or device he has is paid for by my tax dollars; he should be available to his constituents at all times, on all taxpayer funded devices.
If Lady Gramnesty doesn’t like that idea, then get the hell out of politics!

You know, I have serious doubts about the Donald or his true agenda, but man I love the way he is making RINO heads explode. I’m still a Cruz man but the Donald is highly entertaining.

Dayum.

He called him dumber than Rick Perry.

Hell, that's dumber than a fence post.
