Graham: Trump is ‘a political car wreck’

by Jose A. DelReal

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) knocked GOP presidential rival Donald Trump Thursday amid their prolonged public feud, calling him a "political car wreck" and warning he could hurt his party's chances of winning the White House in 2016.

"[H]e has become toxic as a presidential candidate, I hope we all understand that on the Republican side," Graham said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Thursday morning. "I think he's sort of a political car wreck, where people slow down and watch."

....

..."The only way we're going to lose this election is to continue to say things like Donald Trump is saying and having people like me respond endlessly," he said.

....

Graham also responded to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's comment Wednesday that "we have a president now that has no class." Graham pushed back, saying that he believes the Obama family has "set a tone as a family that we should all respect" and that the GOP presidential field's problem is not the president.

"I don't question [Obama's] patriotism, I don't question his love of country, I question his policies," Graham said. "To Marco and everybody else: It's not about him as much as it is about us. When you look at us, what do you see? If you see Donald Trump, you're going to go somewhere else."

Good post! These two prissy prima donnas epitomize what’s wrong with the GOP.

I’m wondering when McCain will go into surgery to get that ugly effeminate lump on his ass removed. It could be cancerous.

It looks like you have been reading my political thoughts!
You have said it well!
“They(There) should also not be a U.S. Senator or expecting any support in attempting to Run for President.”
My vote will never go to a Senator nor RINO Governors!

Gramnesty keeps trying to pick a fight with Trump, because that is the only way Gramnesty is getting any politicial coverage.

The ankle-biter is struggling to rise about 0%.

Hey, Idiot, he was referring to the president, not his family. Not one of these politicians impress me. Trump needs to sell himself on me to be sure to get my vote, but for now I agree with everything he says.

BOYCOTT IJREVIEW.COM...THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PRODUCED THE CAITLIN GRAHAM CELL PHONE VIDEO.

IJReview has been bashing Trump in articles 3-4 times a day as well, even showing people at the LA RAZA convention bashing Trump using vile obscenities. IJReview is a RINO stooge site run by former McCain staffers.

“Graham is between 0% and 1%”

So we know how many Log Cabin Republicans there really are.

If Lindsey girl is the GOP-e’s back-up plan, they have a serious problem. Even Huckabee looks like an actual serious candidate by comparison.

“There is only one question remaining, if Donald by sheer chance would get elected, would he actually come through with what he is promising to do? If I could be sure of it I would vote for him in less than a heartbeat.”

No such thing as guarantees in politics. the way I look at it is.....who benefits? Would DT benefit more by doing his best to do what he says he will do? Or is there some evidence that he would benefit more by NOT doing what he says he’ll do? Keeping in mind that this is a multibillionaire who is almost 70 years old, already has a stunning wife, and has kids who he obviously cares for deeply.

Another question to think about is whether there are any other candidates, all things considered, who are more likely to accomplish what is important? Especially the presumptive frontrunners: jebito and piaps.

I’m dreaming that his egotistical little foray will cost him so much support that the usually sensible South Carolina electorate will finally be motivated enough to flush this little turd out of office.

Trump may well be a car wreck.

But Graham is driving a different sort of vehicle altogether.
