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.

Why? He is number one and climbing. A Dem neighbor can't wait to vote for him. He will have a bunch of Trump democrats voting for him. Plus the LIV apprentice crowd. He can win it all as a Republican.
Obama represented a revolution of sorts, his carefully contrived image notwithstanding.
History has shown us that revolutions almost never return liberty to the people; they almost always just replace a bastard-in-power with a worse bastard.
We need a revolt as opposed to another revolution or a counter-revolution. The GOP establishment understands that this is the motive force behind the tea party, and they try to manage it and defuse it. I don’t think that Trump is the ultimate standard bearer of that revolt, but he is showing the way by being unapologetically politically incorrect.
Overall I would agree with that but for one point. We have all known the way per se. Trump hasn’t said anything we don’t discuss to death regularly. The same goes for any of the pundits really. So we all know the way. The advantage of Trump or someone like him is that he has the guts -and- the microphone/force of will big enough to force the issue.
That’s a beautiful thing but we have to remember the words of the man last week RE healthcare.
“Sorry Conservatives”.
It is what it is..
Yep, I don’t see Trump saying anything that a self-respecting Freeper would not say.
The DONALD: “I’ve never asked God for forgiveness.”
Donald and Jesus, the only perfect men that ever lived.
I’m just completely stunned that people take this talking cornball seriously.
He will also be easy to defeat in November...
I know that runs contrary to popular belief, but I think the media will have a field day.
It seems to me that people want to see what Trump will say next...
I don’t need to know what Trump thinks or has done for Vets. I have read it. He has some good ideas...
But, on the flip side, maybe you and others should read about his coziness with Hillary or his stances on things like the 2nd Amendment.
LOL...
See, can’t even respond with a decent intelligent response. Like most Trump people on here... and then you name call. Let’s see the feigned indignation of those “offended” by your post.
So, what of substance does Trump support...other than calling people idiots, making fun of glasses, etc?
Thus the reality show audience. People are so enraptured with someone finally saying what they think that they ignore the words aren’t believed by the speaker.
Anyone think that a man that opposed Reagan and donated regularly to the worst dems there are is really on their team? Because he did those things. His donations did not get put in compartments by Hillary and Rangel marked “Do not oppose conservatives with this cash”. DU posters do it all the time with liberals. We are supposed to be smarter than they are. Apparently some here aren’t.
Sure, let him destroy the GOP. 100% support for that aspect from me. Just remember who it is doing it and why.
So, what of substance did he say today...
Other than making fun of Perry’s glasses? Anything?
Doing not done. Its being set up.as we speak
I don’t think the WHY matters to the people on here.
They clamor for a 3rd party run, and yet, that insures a Hillary Presidency.
I don’t mind him taking out RINO’s, but why didn’t he do it against Romney in 2012? McCain in 2008?
The donations, etc, will be justified as business dealings...
Right, but I have heard that Trump has been good to vets in the past as well...
Everyone Trump is leveling insults at has it coming. I hope Trump doesn’t stop. The GOP needs a purge.
The rot in the apple needs to be cut out in order to move the GOP back to conservatism.
I am with you. This is a real sight to behold.
Is there a sale on popcorn anywhere?
Or they are. It’s always entertaining to watch’ conservatives’ justify the very corruption/crony capitalism they claim loudly to oppose. Because thats the result of feeling rather than thinking.
I’m all for 3rd parties but it has to be someone worth voting for. If people are stupid enough to support a liberal Republican because he has a magical R talisman velcroed to his forehead, I think they should get the full measure of their losing decision. Sucks for the rest of us. Sucks for America. It’s their mistake to make.
I was wondering if other people noticed this. Trump is only hitting at those that insulted him or his followers. And pretty humorously too. And basically, nicer than the insults he received. If I were a politican right now I think I’d lay off any insults on Trump.
Probably Candy Cowly again..
Georgie Boy. He’s the most recent fraud to be exposed so he will get the job on purpose.
Ungh!
That would be likely as well.
