Trump's name-calling must end: Nikki Haley
India's The Delhi Daily News ^ | July 22, 2015

Trump's name-calling must end: Nikki Haley - South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on Tuesday came down hard on Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, saying that the real estate mogul has gone too far with his personal attacks on political rivals, including him calling US Senator Lindsey Graham an "idiot" during a rally.

"It's wrong," Haley said Tuesday during a Republican governors forum at the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colorado. Haley added that though Trump is a supporter and friend, she said, "he's creating a very combative tone. Every day I feel like I'm hearing Mr. Trump attack another person personally."

Republicans have been facing trouble in dealing with Trump, who is one of 16 seeking the party's nomination for president. Trump gained in Republican opinion polls after he refused to apologize for saying Mexico is sending rapists and criminals to the U.S. The remarks sparked a huge outrage with Latinos slamming Trump.

Addressing a campaign in Graham's home state of South Carolina on Tuesday, Trump read Graham's private mobile phone number. In his speech Trump called Graham an "idiot" after Graham called him a "jackass."

Trump was slammed by fellow Republicans after he said Saturday that Arizona Senator John McCain is not a war hero.

Nikki Haley... printed in the Delhi Daily News.... You couldn’t make that stuff up.

Way to tell him, Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley. Now go burn a Battle Flag in honor of Krishna and Kali and elephant-headed Ganesha.

My patience with Nikkei Haley is diminishing by the minute. What does this this increasingly idiotic woman have to say about Linda Graham calling Trump a “jackals” or McCain calling Trump supporters, “crazies”? Pandering to the mainstream media and their narrative is exactly what got the GOPe into it's present sorry state.

Trump, no matter what else he does, has had the temerity to call a spade a spade, to decry politically correct muzzling of the American People and the US Government and the effect of that on policy. If nothing else, he is busy taking a solid crack at the Liberal and even moderate policies and pols who have made this mess, and in doing so opens the debate.

There are taboos that need to be broken, and he can do it.

Even if someone else gets the nod, the Conservatives need a few proverbial bomb throwers to drag the debate field back to the right and make the media quit framing those who are Conservative as "extremists"

calling US Senator Lindsey Graham an "idiot"

Trump should be more like Cruz - never insulting a fellow republican. Graham has dozens of supporters, and I'd like the eventual nominee (Ted Cruz) to get their votes too. Alienating them will not help.

One thing I love about Trump is he’s not afraid to say what the rest of us are thinking, even if it gives certain people “the vapors”.

Oh dear, I guess it’s time for Trump to be quiet now that Nikki’s wringing her hands.

You gotta know what just happened here. Lindsay’s ears are still buring bright from hearing his phone number broadcast, and having Trump tell everybody that Lindsay begged to get on Fox and Friends. He called up Nikki, and told her if she wants his continued support, she better speak up about their New Worst Enemy Ever, that being Donald Trump!

******

Graham: I want South Carolinian Graham to say in public that he never asked Trump for a donation to any of his campaigns for the senate. If he can't do it, then I say he owes Trump an apology for calling him a "jackass."

Nikki Haley apparently doesn’t realize that this war of insults has TWO sides. She should restrain her GOPe political bedfellows, McCain and Graham, and maybe Trump would back off. In most of these cases, he’s simply returning fire.

That said, the GOPe started this war long ago by colluding with Democrats against the Republican rank and file. They see US as the enemy—not the Democrats. Should we treat them as friends and allies? I think not.

Right enough she needs to stay out of this. Recall the insane crap she got hit with when she ran for governor and that was from Republicans mostly

Hey Nikki, STFU Flag Girl... go take your weak flag-surrendering ass back to the hole you have dug yourself and stay there.

Trump is just a showman trying to get an audience so he can sell them something in the future -- he's not a serious candidate and he will destroy whatever credibility the GoP has with his wackiness

Could it be that he's drawing an audience because he's telling the truth??!! He's is doing what Rush does - saying into a microphone what people say in their hearts. Will he end up as POTUS? Probably not. What he's doing is defining the conversation on his terms and no one else's. More power to him.

The GOP wrecked its own credibility long before Trump declared. Anyone remember Thad Cochran/Chris McDaniel? It's time to sink the GOPe and replace it with something worth believing in.

She sucks. What a waste. Trump only returns fire. What has been said about trump and his supporters is enough to divorce from the party.

I see Rush as different -- he tells the truth, the whole unwashed truth without any half-truths.

Perhaps she should, yes. but Trump is mouthing off — mostly, as it is Trump, it seems to be just for self-publicity
