Keep in mind the post you are replying to is from a poster that thinks Sanders could join Trump's administration since he is not a democrat.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Why did Trump even bother to respond to this? If anyone ever asked about it he could have just said "That's unfortunate, but I'm only interested in what the good people of South Carolina think." The personal attacks just seem so unnecessary. Nobody would have cared until he made it into a story with the response. Which I guess is the point? He does use the media very well.
It's the stuff his base likes to see from him. I don't think he has fully realized that it doesn't really work with everyone outside of it.
Trump is obviously not familiar with the phrase "act like you've been there." It's funny because the people supporting him would be the first to write letters about Cam Newton's celebrating scarring their little girl but Trump gloating is "no nonsense" and "not playing political games" or "a show of strength."

Now he is attacking Elizabeth Warren on twitter.
Did he pivot yet?

dude has too big of an ego. just keep having people insult donald in the media and eventually he will say some reprehensible shit hillary can use against him in the election.
Modern business has become too reliant on spellchecker tech which that phrase would actually pass.

The way you call him "Mr Trump" irritates me.

Graham dropped out, supported Jeb, then went to Cruz.
He has never gotten it right and only makes his living spouting anti-Trump messages in the media.
So when the usual suspects on gaf are loling at this 'terrible pivot', you are acting like LG matters.
Newsflash: HE DOESNT
What a well researched and we'll conducted poll and measure of the general electorate at large. Relying on circumstantial evidence and blanket intuition seems to be the best course of action regarding this race, I agree.
That is to say, of course this race will tighten up in the coming months regardless of what Trump does or who he insults. But right now, in this current frame of time, he does not have the numbers he needs to become president.

If you want to beat the Democrats, vote Trump. If you want to beat the Republicans, vote Trump!

Hillary won't even have to attack him directly. Just send a mass of surrogates to do it and watch Trump lose his mind. He's going to have to release a "statement" multiple times a day for a couple of months.

@ The attack on Warren over the native american thing- Wasn't that a mix-up that was a mistake? Why is he trying to use that against her?
Please stop this. These types of knee jerk reaction posts does nothing good for the forum.
At the very least, debate the post you're quoting on the merits of what it is, instead of bringing previous posts into it.

Who said that Graham matters?
The entire point is about Trump being a buffoon, and that this isn't likely to change in the GE.
He's a buffoon that will be the Republican Nominee because of the multitudes of buffoons who support him, but he's still a buffoon nonetheless.
Buffoon is a fun word.
Holy shit we are doomed! Guys at your work like him? I'm moving to Canadia.

My god what this election is doing to that party. It has been a thing to behold. Everything crashing in on itself so much faster than I would have imagined. What do they look to salvage at this point? Senate seats?

Trump is destroying these GOP people with these responses, though. First Ryan and now Graham. Can't deny that!

An avatar quote here is in order.
Newsflash: This story isn't about Graham. It's about how uncouth Donald Trump is.
"Guys at work" is codename for the ancient prescient energy field trapped within black crystal sphere eons ago by a nameless dark mage. It's unholy encasement emblazoned with the number of the eight metaphysical forces guiding this realm. The side of the sphere opposing this number eight contains a window into the orb. Inside lies a murky black liquid--the essence of ether. Even further into the orbs inky depths one may find the spirit that fully knows their future. Be careful what you ask it.

If you guys had to sum up the net effect of Donald Trump on the US, how positive or negative would you mark it? For me, the overwhelming negative of fueling racial discrimination, and all around negativity he inspires, wins out at the end, but he does have some huge positives in potentially destroying the Republican party.
Trump's style of attacks tend to "work" on men, like the 16 dudes he insulted over the last year. When it comes to going after a woman though, basically any of his attacks would fall under the sexist, misogynist field (see Carly Fiorina), and these tend to backfire (see him backpedaling and saying she has a beautiful face). While I wouldn't say Hillary is perceived as delicate as Carly was, any personal attack he spouts her way will be viewed as a sexist insult. He could concentrate on the issues to try and take her down, but he doesn't have enough self-control for that.

Damnit haha. Graham is a puppet and probably has sent more money to Israel than his own state of SC but it really seems to me that Trump has a short fuse. This was totally unnecessary.
I'd say mostly negative because he is using the anger and frustration of some Americans to gain power and such a divisive political strategy should be rejected. If Trump succeeds, more politicians are going to follow in his footsteps and that's honestly a scary thing.

It's more genuinely scary than entertaining at this point.

Yeah, I mean destroying the Republicans by turning their dog whistles into foghorns has been fascinating and well deserved; but he's taken political discourse to an all new, and terrifying, low.

This four-minute-long, slow paced thing was a campaign ad? Wow, times have changed.
I think scarier than that is his incredible insecurity. When you're president, you need to be thick skinned. You're under constant attack from every direction, everything you do ends up being criticized. Imagine someone who doesn't take criticism well and actually has the power to do something about it. He's already called for the government going after news organizations he deems untruthful, or people who write articles he doesn't agree with. It's shit that's one step removed from being Vladimir Putin.

When someone comes in with an opinion; their previous opinions are one of the ways to gauge if the person knows what they are talking about. Not everything can be debated on the merits. But this forum seems to have a very high degree of "My First Election™" posters and there is nothing inherently wrong with that. However, people who this is their first election should proceed with caution as navigating the minefield that is US Politics is a challenging matter with many pitfalls. They must also keep in mind that for many here, this is not their first election and various events and situations are comparable to things that happened in past elections. That gives insight. Many forum vets who were around for the last couple of Presidential elections called Trump's nomination last year (myself, back in October). At the same time us vets need to keep in mind this is the first election for many here, and try to remain civil when someone spurts out something that shows lack of knowledge on how things work.
Thinking that Trump will pivot to the middle for the General Election is fools gold. He has made only a modicum of effort towards such an endeavor, and many of things he has said can't be unsaid or explained away. Trump is in this due to his ego, he is a micromanager who will not let any criticism go unanswered and has a very poor verbal filter. He is perhaps the least presidential candidate to win a nomination in recent history. In dealing with other nations there is a decorum. This decorum exists to attempt to bridge cultural gaps, of which Trump has no interest in the first place.
So when someone suggests that Trump will offer Sanders a position in his administration, my only possible response is to laugh. The only evidence for such an assertion is Trump tweeting out agreement with Sanders's conspiracy theories on the Democratic Primary and their agreement on anti-trade and anti-globalization. The similarities end there. This incredibly tepid relationship between Sanders and Trump supporters won't last more than a few more weeks and will disappear from mainstream conversation completely after the convention and the remaining few diehards will be pushed to isolated corners of the internet in echo chambers. You can't maintain an alliance on a single issue.
Saying that Lindsey Graham does not matter is also foolish, you don't serve as Senator for 10+ years, and win your seat with over 50% of the vote and not matter. So yes, Graham does matter to quite a few Republicans. He deserves a modest level of respect for that especially when Trump's only accomplishment is winning the Republican nomination, failing to invest well enough to beat a standard index fund and filing for bankruptcy far more than normal.

This is a forum for Very Serious People. We must respect Senator Graham.
That's Senator Blanche thank you very much! Why I never!
If Trump hands Democrats a great November then he'll have been a huge net benefit to America. There's so much on the line this election due to the Supreme Court vacancy and many members being so old. Demographics will be almost prohibitive for Republicans in 2020 so if Hillary wins this year Democrats could get on a long winning streak of holding the White House and remake America. Hillary could have very probably lost to someone like Rubio and Kasich.

Trump isn't winning Michigan, not with the flint water crisis in everyones' minds, and not with how mobilized the muslim vote is going to be.
Because of his anti-muslim and anti-hispanic rhetoric, he's also screwed himself out of Virgina, Florida, Colorado, and New Mexico, and could lose Arizona and Georgia.
