Graham: Trump is 'the dark side of American politics,' 'selling fear and prejudice'
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/26/15 | Sarah Westwood

Sen. Lindsey Graham fought back against Donald Trump Sunday after a week of trading barbs in the press.

"I would ask the Republican Party to understand why most major companies are firing Mr. Trump, and I don't think we should hire him," the South Carolina Republican said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

"I'm taking on an idea that I think he's appealing to the dark side of American politics," Graham said. "He is not offering solutions to hard, complicated problems, and he's basically selling fear and prejudice."

Trump, who is also attempting to get the Republican presidential nod, escalated a feud with the senator when he gave out Graham's personal cell phone number during a speech.

Graham responded by shooting a video with IJ Review in which he employed various creative methods of destroying his cell phone.

"Donald Trump has done something my staff could never get me to do, which is get a new phone," Graham joked Sunday.

But he condemned Trump's often caustic campaign style.

"If you say most illegal immigrants are drug dealers and rapists, there are people that want to believe that," Graham said. "There's a market in my party, if you say outrageous things."

Lindsey Graham is a feckless, duplicitous, treacherous, double dealing, backstabbing corksucker. He is just selling out to the country club fat cats who obviously are not paying enough taxes.

Lindseed is apparently unaware of the Rosie ODonnell ghetto beatdown. But not for long. LOL!

The singularly most irrelevant person in presidential election history making pronouncements...

Singularly irrelevant and an utter and complete fool.

While we think little of Loveable Lindsey, remember there are the people of SC, and they view him entirely differently. Woe had Lee Bright been an effective opponent!

"...not offering solutions to hard, complicated problems..."

Linda is quite correct. Trying to plot a strategy that gets Linda the maximum bribe with the minimum risk of exposure is, indeed, " a hard, complicated problem."

Hillary Clinton is clearly guilty of serious felonies regarding classified information, gross malfeasance and perjury in the Benghazi case,

And plenty of probable cause for a Treason trial.

3 or 4 companies are now “Most Major Companies” while being against Illegal Immigration is the “Dark side of American politics”.

I learn something new everyday!

[[Graham: Trump is ‘the dark side of American politics,’ ‘selling fear and prejudice’]]

Says the man who sits idly by while this country pumps a about $600 BILLION dollars into paying for ILLEGALS I n this country while Ignoring the plight of our LEGAL seniors, disabled and veterans who are facing a 20% cut because the thieves in congress SPENT that money, and now can’t seem to find #34 billion to shore it up again- Says the man who approves of sending 100’s of billions of dollars to TERRORIST nations while seniors disabled and veterans and homeless people (many recently made homeless by liberal ideology in present administration) here live in deplorable conditions

Graham is a two faced hypocrite selling this country down the road!
