If Lindsey Graham has to change cellphone numbers, he has Donald Trump to thank.

On Tuesday, Trump ramped up his attacks on the South Carolina senator — who made headlines Monday for calling the Donald a “jackass” — and even gave out Graham’s private phone number.

Trump began his rambling diatribe by calling Graham a “lightweight” and an “idiot.”

“He doesn’t seem like a very bright guy. He actually probably seems to me not as bright as Rick Perry. I think Rick Perry probably is smarter than Lindsey Graham,” Trump added, riffing on prior insults he had lobbed at the former Texas governor.

Then Trump transitioned to an embarrassing anecdote, which the billionaire real estate developer said was from a few years ago, in which Graham called Trump “begging” him for a good reference with Trump’s pals on the Fox News morning program “Fox & Friends.”

Trump said that he promised Graham he would put out a good word, and the South Carolina Republican then gave him his phone number to follow up.

Trump then read out what he said was Graham’s phone number, telling his supporters to “try it.”

“I wonder what caused that,” Graham told a POLITICO reporter who dialed the number, about the influx of calls.

Is Trump the only person working on his campaign?

It feels like he has no speech writers, shoots from the hip and is the dumbest political figure on Twitter.

It really does come across like he's doing everything himself.

I'm imagining him giving an unscripted nomination acceptance speech at the GOP convention, and it's making me absolutely turgid. We might be on the precipice of a campaign whose comedy surpasses that of Palin in 2008

Who could possibly make suggestions or give advice to Donald Trump that Donald would actually take seriously?

He is a one-man-show.

He's 1 Defcon level below Donald Sterling at the moment.

AT THE MOMENT.

It's probably more a sign that Trump doesn't have a campaign staff to take his twitter account away from him like every other politician.

I was joking (somewhat :p), I actually didn't think it was Trump but rather his staff since you would think someone wouldn't confuse their own father for a convicted murderer.

Fucking hilarious either way.

Well, no:

Wall Street Journal said:
Mr. Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is being paid $20,000 a month, the equivalent of a $240,000 annual salary, according to a Federal Election Commission filing Wednesday. That is about 45% more than 2012 GOP nominee and multimillionaire Mitt Romney paid his senior staffers.

Shame it can't be a Biden-Trump General election. Both have said crazy stuff, although Trump much more often. Biden certainly has been offensive and idiotic at times as well though.

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/248912-trump-stewart-is-begging-me-to-appear-on-his-final-show
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that Jon Stewart is “begging” him to appear on the final episode of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”

“They have invited me,” Trump told The Hill in an interview. “I like Jon Stewart — I think he’s good. They’re begging me to go on.

“I would do it ... the problem is it looks like pandering. It looks so false and so phony if I do it,” he added.

...

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with President Obama having done it,” Trump said. “I know he took a lot of heat, you know, because they said, ‘What are you doing on a comedy show?’ I think it’s OK.”

He said that “it would’ve been better if he had Stewart come over to the White House, because it would’ve cost nothing.”

“Stewart would’ve loved it, and you’d have saved a lot of money,” Trump said.

*shudders*

If they did a porn parody, a better option would be to make fun of his pageants. His lookalike could make a non-performing cameo at the beginning, and then the pageant contestants would take it from there.

God, maybe I should be writing this..

Jon wants to go with a huge bang. I hope Trump accepts. A no holds barred Jon would be a sight or behold.

I don't think he'd be able to resist. That's a pretty high-profile invite.

This is pretty tight. I'm sure Trump wouldn't do it if the first debate was after the last episode but they are on the same day. Most likely he won't do it but it would be great if he did.

I feel like Jon's final episode having a giant belligerent dickhead incapable of being gotcha'd would just be frustrating. You can't win with Trump, his act is a farce. Jon giving him airtime is a waste.

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...w-donald-trump-running-strong-iowa-nh-n398401

Donald Trump is running strong in the early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire, according to two new NBC News-Marist polls.

Trump leads the Republican presidential field in New Hampshire, getting support from 21 percent of potential GOP primary voters. He's followed by Jeb Bush at 14 percent, Scott Walker at 12 percent and John Kasich at 7 percent.

Chris Christie and Ben Carson are tied at 6 percent in the Granite State, and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are at 5 percent each.

In Iowa, Walker and Trump are in the Top 2 - with Walker at 19 percent among potential Republican caucus-goers and Trump at 17 percent. They're followed by Bush at 12 percent, Carson at 8 percent, Mike Huckabee at 7 percent and Rand Paul at 5 percent.

The polls were conducted July 14-21 - so before and after Trump's controversial comments belittling John McCain's war record on July 18. And they suggest the comments didn't affect Trump in Iowa (he was at 16 percent before the comments and 18 percent after), but they did hurt him in New Hampshire (26 percent before, 14 percent after).
