A triumphant and unrepentant Donald Trump launched a barrage of personal attacks and name-calling on his campaign rivals Tuesday, most notably calling South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham an idiot handing out Grahams cell phone number to the whole world
He dismissed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as weak on immigration, and mocked Texas Gov. Rick Perrys glasses and Hillary Clintons hand wave.
What a stiff, what a stiff, Lindsey Graham. By the way he has registered zero in the polls, Trump said, at an appearance in Bluffton, S.C. A total lightweight. In the private sector, he couldnt get a job.
Earlier in the day, Graham called Trump a jackass. In response, Trump called Graham an idiot and held up a card that included Grahams personal phone number, then asked his supporters to call Graham. I dont know, give it a shot, he said.

Im not a fan of Jeb Bush, he went on. Jeb bush is in favor of Common Core and he is weak on immigration. .. Who would you rather have negotiating with China. Trump or Jeb? Or Trump or Hillary? When he mentioned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, he waved his hand to pantomime her approach to diplomacy.

I think Rick Perry is probably smarter than Lindsey Graham. But what do I know? he said, after mocking Perrys new glassesHes got the glasses, oh oh oh. Trump previously tweeted that Rick Perry should have an IQ test before getting on the debate stage, a comment he repeated in South Carolina. I think Rick Perry is probably smarter than Lindsey Graham. But what do I know? he said.
Trump said The reason they are hitting me in all fairness, Trump continued. When you are registering zero in the polls, youve got nothing to lose.

You can always count on me to be the ray of sunshine in your political life. It goes well with my nonconfrontational disposition ;)
Yep. He’s throwing a spanner into the GOPe’s planned work. That can only be good. I just hope he leaves room for Cruz to pick up the pieces once he’s done smashing the GOPe.
I know he’s not a conservative, and I believe you’re correct that he’s probably not even really pissed off-what would a man in his position and with his socially liberal background have to be pissed about? Heck, this is probably all mere personal ambition. So politically, I don’t support him. But... I take great satisfaction in watching him move the GOPe candidates off-script. When they’re off-script, sometimes they forget themselves and show their true colors, including what they really think of conservatives (for those too oblivious to get it from their actions). I want everyone who considers themselves a conservative to see just how hard the GOPe will fight someone who threatens their gravy train. And who they will fight so hard, and it ain’t the rats. They’re in this Uniparty together.
Lets be real. Trump didn’t say anything about these losers that we don’t say on FR on a daily basis. Actually we say a lot worse. :-)
Exactly. Some one gets it.
Omg. Another person gets it.
Yes, I am glad that I didn’t allow myself to become invested in Walker. But anymore, it’s easy to not get invested in any of them until crunch time.
Lol!
“I wish hed stick with how the left and its fellow travelers in the GOP are destroying this country. We already know whos behind it.”
What’s great about Trump doing this is he is sucking the oxygen out of the room for other candidates. Without money or visibility, they will drop from the race.
Anyone hear from Rubio lately? Or how about Carson? Carson should have been on national TV all day today talking about Planned Parenthood. He’s a doctor for Chrissake. This was in his wheelhouse and he let it go right past him.
I am genuinely confused why so many people don’t get it. None of this is rocket surgery. None of it.
In real life, does a parent hand their 16 year old beauty queen daughter off to the local bad boy with keys to the Ferrari, a box of condoms and a reservation at the Hilton? No. they look at the guy’s background and history.
Does a businessman jump into a potentially business ending partnership with a known con man? No because the result is set in stone.
All anyone has to do is look at the record of the person they may support. What is it? They all have one in and out of politics. Does anyone think that liberal actions in ones past are meaningless when nice words are spoken later?
We just had Mr. severe conservative tank an election he swore up and down he was Reagan reborn. And went right back to his roots literally 18 hours after he lost.
I feel no shame in saying that by this time, with so much history to learn from, people that are so disconnected from reality as to ignore a candidate’s history when fawning over their words should have their right to vote revoked as they are not of fit mind to cast a vote responsibly.
Oh you laugh! Well let me tell you something! My non confrontational nature is exceeded only by my LEGENDARY modesty. Which, without a doubt, is clear to all who look up to me! ;)
Hmmm...one wonders how many ‘of a fit mind’ cast a responsible vote in 2012...couldn’t have been very many.
I’m told that I’m “J.P.E.”.
“ Just plain evil.”
Well the results of the decision speak for themselves. We got the liberalism in the GOP that people voted FOR.
Romney lost and the GOP went further left at Warp 9.
Not exactly a sound mind vote there.
Hey there’s plenty of room in hell. I’ll save you a seat when Hightek Redneck gets around to condemning you too ;)
As a founding member of J.P.E. inc LLC...
/ kidding
I was thinking about changing my first name to Darth. “Darth Lenhart has a certain flare to it. And as an evil purist I should feel entitled to it’s use since I singlehandedly elected Obama to 4 more years.
I am awesome.
Are you awesome? We could revel in the magnificence of our evil together! ;)
Capt. Steve, I think we have a potential recruit here for Team Obvious. He sees the Obvious too!
How many Capt.’s Obvious do we need before we van unionize and be as evil as we were meant to be?
Or maybe not, as regards my last message.
