Lindsey Graham: Donald Trump 'Selling Fear and Prejudice'
ABC News ^ | 7/26/2015 | Ali Dukakis

Posted on 07/26/2015 6:57:11 PM PDT by GoneSalt

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.

All he had to do was change his number. Instead he destroyed a phone that I’d bet was paid for by tax dollars. That’s destruction of public property and he should be charged. He should at the very least be forced to reimburse the government.

Bottom line is he was putting on a show. Which is what he accuses Trump of doing. I think destroying the phone makes him look like a jackass.

Graham voted against the one article that would have gotten Clinton removed from office through impeachment. He voted with the democrats. Even the commentators were shocked. I’d bet the Clinton machine was going to out him.

Lindsey Graham loses at least 15% of the Republican votes just by being a Republican instead of a Democrat where he belongs.

He's selling fear and racism! Aww, heck, why not? Works for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to throw out the racism card, what's wrong with old Lindsey doin’ the same thing?

Here's a tip, Lindsey, stick to your own campaign. Trump's just going to hammer you. And sure, you'll get a couple more articles about yourself, but then you'll go stick your damn foot in your mouth again just like this time.

While the GOPe and most of the senate might concur with your opinion here, the rest of America thinks: What, they just want lawlessness? Brown skinned slaves for corporate America? Or, the more typical one, ‘I'm just voting for the Democrat, whoever that is, except Hillary, unless she's the nominee, then I'm voting for a woman rather than Hillary, because it's TIME that a woman be president!’

(God, does that twisted logic really make sense to them? As I've found three who think exactly above, and I can't figure out if they're fooling me or themselves with that tripe.)

Looked to me like he destroyed an old flip-phone. And perhaps a 2nd phone.

I say, old phones, another theater of lies from the GOPe.

When he could simply change his number, which no doubt he did.

That’s right, I’d almost forgotten that Lindsey had gone in front of the National Council of The Race and said he was going to tell the bigots to shut up.

That would be us American citizens who don’t appreciate fraudulently documented foreigners ignoring all of our laws.

Those crazies and whacko-birds and hobbits that just don’t appreciate how lucrative it is to The Cheap Labor Express to have unlimited flows of illegal aliens.

and I don't think we should hire him," Graham said.

....and in any case...it is not your job to hire presidential candidates.

The interview was incredible. Graham was given an opportunity by Stephanopoulos to show he's the adult in the Republican primary playpen. He described Trump supporters as going over to the dark side. Yeah, that's presidential.

How did the US Senate become our worst enemy, filled with elitists who call those they disagree with jackasses, wacko-birds, crazies, and now according to Graham having succumbed to the dark side?

Actually, Lindsey, it is you and the rest of the political ‘elites’ who have been selling fear and prejudice. The voices of Americans have become progressively suppressed, and plenty of people live in fear of repercussions for expressing their opinions. Your buddy McCain calls those who don’t agree with him ‘crazies’. What do you call them?

Brave men and women do not shy away from letting others express their opinions. We defeated the USSR, only to go on to try to emulate them. Whatever happened to ‘I disagree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it”? We’re a different country than we were. Was worth the loss, so that you and the rest of your political colleagues can enjoy the perks of your public office.
