Graham: Trump 'Selling Fear and Prejudice'
KGO-TV ^ | July 26, 2015 | Ali Dukakis

Lindsey Graham might thank Donald Trump for getting him to finally buy a new phone, but the South Carolina senator said today he still doesn't think the Republican Party should "hire" the real estate mogul as its presidential candidate.

Graham made national headlines last week when he destroyed his old-school cell phone after Trump read the number aloud on national TV, but Graham had more just jokes for his opponent in the race for GOP presidential nomination.

Speaking exclusively with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," the senator said he sees great dangers in continuing to support Trump, the current Republican frontrunner in the polls.

"I would ask the Republican Party why most major companies are firing Mr. Trump, and I don't think we should hire him," Graham said.

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

Graham said he believes there's a market in both political parties for candidates who say "outrageous" things.

"There's a market in my party for people if you say that [President] Obama's not born in America -- that he's actually born in Kenya -- there are people who want to believe that," he said....

Did the little faggot miss the memo?

You're not supposed to name call any more.

Graham and the rest of them want the illegal vote so badly that they refuse to speak the truth. Can’t stand them. Trump says exactly what everyone out here is thinking. Way too much illegal immigration going on. It’s a huge problem and destroying our country. Enforce the border laws like every other country in the world except for maybe Britain and France (overrun by Muslim immigrants)

‘zactley, who cares what Graham says? He is at 0 percent and that has a plus or minus 4 percent margin of error!

And he’ll go even lower once Trump is finished with him lol.

******

Graham: If the only reasons I should vote for candidate Graham is that candidate Trump is deceitful and from the darkside, then, I must tell you that listening to you spend all your time---really wasting your time---condemning Trump is not a good enough reason for me to vote for you.

My suggestion is this: Why don't you leave Trump alone and try to tell us why you would make a better president than anyone else, especially a better president than Hillary. Forget about Trump. Condemning Trump all the time is getting you no where.

Lindsey, that “fear and prejudice” is being doled out via Words of Truth - that which is anathema to you and your kind (ask McConnell and the RNC/GOPe how they cringe at Truth).
