Support NeoGAF

[Bronx-Man]

Earlier today, Republican senator and former presidential candidate Lindsey Graham went on CNN to say that he "can't in good conscience" support Trump as the GOP nominee and that he's sitting out this election entirely.

The new, moderate, less bombastic Donald Trump decided to respond to Graham's lack of support.

Now this is a man that can unify a party.

 

[Frozenprince]

Yep. His catering for the primary was all an act, the GOP knew it and are now scrambling to figure out ANYTHING to do to counter it.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

+10 in the polls.

 

[OnPoint]

Graham cracker.

 

[Htown]

yeah, that's a Donald Trump response alright

 

[entremet]

Man, Trump is so entertaining. Even his press releases.

[GrizzNKev]

that's our future president

*single handedly

*single-handedly

 

[WonkyPanda]

that's our future president

He really does just put stuff out without anyone reviewing it, lol.

 

[thelooseteeth]

*single-handedly

Inception.

 

[DragonSworne]

Trump is going to continue to trash the GOP establishment in the general.

Anyone thought otherwise was kidding themselves. He will continue his same tactics but this time directly against Hillary :/

 

[johnsmith]

He's spent more time feuding with the GOPe than attacking Hillary since he wrapped up the nomination. Beautiful.

 

[Maximus.]

I honestly believe that Trump just put on a character to get elected and proved that it worked to beat other candidates. It's all good because the Republicans need to learn to try and help the country, rather than destroy it with their corporate and archaic beliefs. (not saying the democrats are innocent either, just the lesser of the two).

 

[sangreal]

Gee, I'm starting to think that 'the pledge' was only meant for Trump

Who could've seen that coming?!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I like this very formal header followed by what reads like a mid-day email copy and pasted into an official "response"

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Trump is a fucking savage. Graham was straight up eviscerated

 

[RumblingRosco]

40% to 1%? Damn bro. Why you gotta bring that up?

Trump just exhumed Graham's corpse, stuffed a lit stick of dynamite in it, let it explode, then teleported out to space and launched a Frieza-esque ball of energy at Earth to make sure there was nothing left of Graham.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Damn what a pivot!

 

[ant1532]

He can't even beat ISIS!

 

[Fenderputty]

Only the establishment that doesn't support him. He's being funded by the RNC and most are getting in line. And I"m kidding myself ... lol

 

[QuicheFontaine]

He really does just put stuff out without anyone reviewing it, lol.

I think he's the only politician where his Twitter is literally him tweeting shit.

 

[eBay Huckster]

+10 in the polls.

actually, -10

(on a less serious note i can't stop laughing at "we can't even beat ISIS!")

 

[Squirrel Killer]

He's found a issue that will unite everyone, hating Republicans. He's unstoppable now.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Dat pivot

 

[Bronx-Man]

He can't even beat ISIS!

actually, -10

(on a less serious note i can't stop laughing at "we can't even beat ISIS!")

I like reading it in the tone of that one kid from Mean Girls.

"She doesn't even go here!"

 

[AdventureMike]

I'm in tears here, holy shit Donald.

Reince Priebus live feed:

 

[echoshifting]

Fine I didn't want you on my team anyway loser!! Enjoy the sidelines!

 

[God Dayumm]

This doesn't mean he is pivoting to the center ideologically. But no matter, whether he becomes more left-leaning or more right-leaning, I enjoy how he trashes the republican establishment

 

[Kusagari]

Going off this statement, Trump seems to think Graham plans all the military strategies we enact toward ISIS.

 

[JoeyJungle]

I'm in tears here, holy shit Donald.

I've seen this gif a million times, wtf is it from? I'm always afraid it's real.

edit: phew it's from a old documentary-type video about youth suicide, I deem it not tragic and fully hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9ka0MMtET8

 

[gutter_trash]

pivot 360, Trump is back

[Effnine]

I had no idea Lindsey Graham was in charge of our military operations ...

 

[ivysaur12]

So moderate and presidential. What a pivot. I love Hispanics!

 

[Sianos]

as revenge against obama for his white house correspondent's dinner roast, donald trump began plotting his greatest scheme yet

a plan to make satire impossible by warping reality to such an extreme extent that that parody would be indistinguishable from what is being parodied and thus impossible

probably the most realistic trump conspiracy theory of them all, tbh

 

[entremet]

He really does just put stuff out without anyone reviewing it, lol.

It's reviewed.

Pros miss errors all the time. Happens in printed books with great frequency.

 

[studyguy]

Also I thought Trump captured 32% of the vote in SC, with 22% going to both Cruz/Rubio, slightly less than 8% to Kasich/Jeb. That weird plurality that was so pervasive early on.

Once has to wonder how the landscape would have changed had there been less GOP candidates. I'm sure historians and the GOP will discuss it at length in the future. Only one of the groups will be kicking themselves for the next six months though.

 

[norm9]

Ether.

Eta- talk shit, get hit.

 

[LJ11]

Hilarious, he cooled down for a bit, this one is up there.

 

[NealMcCauley]

That taco bowl must have infused Trump with hot Hispanic passion.

 

[El Topo]

Holy shit. This campaign is one for the ages.

 

[B-Dubs]

Look at that pivot! So graceful! He's pivoting from being an extreme right-wing demagogue to being an extreme right-wing demagogue! How luxurious!

 

[thepotatoman]

Now this is a man that can unify a party.

Trump really needed those 1% of Graham supporters on his side.

 

[yanipheonu]

Tldr, "I heard Graham was talking shit, fuck them, also I'm totally going unify the party I guess"

He's a walking contradiction.

 

[PantherLotus]

everyone calling this ether and savage and keepin' it :100: but this is all nonsense. these supposed insults are really just weak, meaningless bullying and makes him look so, so fucking small.

dude is gonna get rekt in the general by a lifetime politician with like 60+ unfavorables.

I think most people here are being sarcastic. At least, that's my read.

 

[DragonSworne]

Trump really needed those 1% of Graham supporters on his side.

1% of SC Republicans who voted in 2016.

 

[studyguy]

Feel like his press releases need like... an airhorn button.
Like you finish reading it and slam it a couple times.
BEW BEW BEW BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW

 

[jack_package_200]

Seeing how badly he polls with women and minorities, he is going to be destroyed in the GE

Like his hands

That ether is legendary!
