Trump Taunts Lindsey Graham: 'Congrats... You Just Got 4 Points!'
Talking Points Memo ^ | 8/25/15 | Caitlain Cruz

Posted on 08/25/2015 8:36:05 AM PDT by VinL

Former reality television star and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump taunted his rival Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday over a recent poll that showed the senator way behind in Graham's home state.

The taunt was spurred by a poll released Tuesday which found Trump led South Carolina among likely GOP voters.

Trump eagerly shared his poll results on Twitter:

Congrats @LindseyGrahamSC. You just got 4 points in your home state of SC—far better than zero nationally. You’re only 26 pts behind me. 9:49 AM - 25 Aug 2015

The Monmouth University poll found Trump receiving 30 percent support from likely Republican primary voters with his closest competitor, former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, at 15 percent.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush polled at 9 percent, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former technology executive Carly Fiorina at 6 percent. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz polled at 5 percent.

Graham and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker were tied at 4 percent each.

The poll was conducted from August 20 to 23 by telephone among 453 South Carolina residents likely to vote in the Republican primary in February. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.6 percent.

I think this Trump taunt is well grounded and deserved-- this GOP-e tool was supposed to gum up SC to secure Bush. Failed again- establishment geniuses.

Refreshing candor in the body politic.

Will it last? I hope!

Lindsey was on some program and called Trump’s supporters “crzzies.” Sounds like something McCain told him to say.

Jackasses can kick, Linda. Don’t stand to close behind him. He’s not that way, anyway.

I noted that- don’t think she’s related to my man, Cruz.

This is a classic example of the difference between having class and not having it.

It’s one thing to criticize an opponent’s voting records or statements they made. It’s a far different one to rub it in that you’re beating someone (even if it’s a POS like Lindsey Graham) in their home state.

Trump has no class and sooner or later, it’ll end up biting him on the ass.

Donald Trump needs to be careful ... I’m an avid supporter, but Trump’s “in-your-face” NY Long Island style will wear thin eventually ...

I'm not a Trump fan (I don't trust him)

I don't subscribe to taunting opponents.

That said, this is simply priceless.

Mister Grahamnesty deserves the insult.

It could be.

I’d like to see Pres Trump send a snarky tweet to the Iranian leader after we’ve blown away their nuclear installations.

Cheap insults are not gonna cut it.

You don’t know me at all. So maybe it’d be a good iea if you STFU before you stick your foot any deeper in your mouth.

“Trump has no class and sooner or later, it’ll end up biting him on the ass.”

You’re a poet and didn’t know it!
