Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) knocked GOP presidential rival Donald Trump Thursday amid their prolonged public feud, calling him a "political car wreck" and warning he could hurt his party's chances of winning the White House in 2016.
"[H]e has become toxic as a presidential candidate, I hope we all understand that on the Republican side," Graham said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Thursday morning. "I think he's sort of a political car wreck, where people slow down and watch."
....
..."The only way we're going to lose this election is to continue to say things like Donald Trump is saying and having people like me respond endlessly," he said.

Graham also responded to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's comment Wednesday that "we have a president now that has no class." Graham pushed back, saying that he believes the Obama family has "set a tone as a family that we should all respect" and that the GOP presidential field's problem is not the president.
"I don't question [Obama's] patriotism, I don't question his love of country, I question his policies," Graham said. "To Marco and everybody else: It's not about him as much as it is about us. When you look at us, what do you see? If you see Donald Trump, you're going to go somewhere else."

LOL Poor Linda looking to be relevant.
Nominate Yeb and see how you do.
Trump wrecked Graham’s clown car.
Graham should know about wrecks, having been an ambulance chaser in Seneca, South Carolina.
Says the campaign with 0%. Quit wasting our time Lindsey.
Pray America is waking
I don’t think Hitler liked Churchill either.
Judge a man by the enemies he makes.
Looks to me like ‘Linda’ is scared to death....got called out in front of the Nation and is peeing his pants....LMAO
If you weren’t such a train wreck yourself, Linda, there would be no Trump in the mix.
Trump is really living in their heads.
0% says what?
Graham is between 0% and 1%. He realizes that the only way he can get any publicity at all is to drum up a feud with Trump.

Tread carefully Linda... otherwise you might find your home address as part of another Trump speech!
Graham’s one role in this race is to defeat Ted Cruz.
Specifically in the South Carolina Primary.
Everything he does and says must be seen in that context as part of GOPe strategy.
How in the heck can Gramnesty continue to get re-elected in SC?
Over here!
Over here!
Pay attention to me!
Pay attention to MEEEEEEE!!

But I like the fact that the right people are being offended by Trump!
