Quote:If Linsdey Graham thought he could shame Donald Trump into backing down from his rhetoric, he apparently thought wrong.
“Run for president, but stop being the world’s biggest *******,” the South Carolina senator told “CBS This Morning.”
Trump fired back during a campaign rally in Graham’s home state, telling a South Carolina audience that Graham is a “stiff” who could never get a job in the private sector.
Trump then told a story about Graham calling him 4 years ago for a campaign endorsement and contribution. Trump claimed he went back through his phone records and found Graham’s private cell phone number. He showed the audience the number, written down on a yellow post-it note, and read the number aloud, encouraging everyone “let’s try it.”
CBS News has confirmed the number does belong to Senator Graham. When CBSDC called the number, it went straight to voice mail, with a follow-up message that the mailbox is full.
Graham was about the only Republican early on to call Trump out. The rest of them are afraid of him. While I'm no fan of his politics he deserves credit for doing the right thing while the rest ran in fear. Also, for the record, Graham has a military record and Trump dodged the draft.
Have we hit a new low in election campaigns? And this with more than a year left to go? I think I'll go hide in a cave, let me know when it's all over.

Yes.
This is what I am talking about Trump is going to destroy each one of these clowns one by one. Seriously, who wants some at the debate? He may actually EARN the POTUS.

At least Trump doesn't support war any place, any time.

It depends on when you ask him doesn't it? He is all over the place, as are most people that just say things for affect.

I can't find any instance where Trump has supported a modern war. Graham, on the other hand, makes Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld look like peace doves. Graham is by far and away the worst candidate on either side. Aside from abortion, I can't think of a single issue I agree with him on.
And for the record, I do NOT intend to vote for Trump at this time. I'll see it through to the end and see who is in it when it gets to Virginia, but I am on team Cruz.

Oh I'm no Graham fan, just think when it comes to Trump he shows some guts.

Six years of active duty and several in the reserves. He is an attorney so that is what he did in the service as well. He retired from the Air Force Reserves as a colonel.
