Speaking at a campaign event in South Carolina today, Donald Trump lashed out at few GOP presidential hopeful Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Saying that Graham “doesn’t seem as bright as Rick Perry,” Trump went on to read to the crowd what appeared to be Graham’s personal cell phone number.
Graham recently blasted The Donald for saying John McCain was not a war hero.
Graham’s campaign camp responded saying, “Trump continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander in chief” and that the “two people most excited about Donald Trump’s candidacy are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.”
UPDATE – Graham posted this to his Twitter account this afternoon:
GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz takes Dick & Betty Odgaard of Grimes, Iowa, on a martyr tour trying to portray the couple as “victims” of the LGBT movement.
The Odgaards made news in 2013 when they turned away a gay couple who inquired about having their wedding at the gallery.
You’ll note how Cruz continually uses the word “church” to describe the building the couple owns. But the fact is, the BUSINESS the Odgaard’s own is not a religion-based business at all. They purchased the building in 2002 and operated the space as the Gortz Haus Gallery, an art gallery which also rented out for weddings.
Cruz also skips over the fact that Iowa has a very clear public accommodation law that bans discriminating against folks based on sexual orientation, just as you can’t turn away customers based on race or religion.
“Open for business” means open to all.
Eventually, the couple stopped hosting any weddings at all to avoid having to provide services to “the gays.”
Not sure how Cruz thinks this old story will cut through the clutter of the ongoing Trump campaign train.

Kind of like arriving at a dinner party after the meal has already begun.
“We have a folding chair for you over here in the corner…”
Responding to the announcement that all coverage of his “campaign” will now be located on the Entertainment section of the Huffington Post, Donald Trump comes back with an “I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you” kind of statement.

There’s good and bad news for Donald Trump in the latest USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll.
While Trump has surged 6 points since the June poll, putting him on top of the current field of GOP presidential hopefuls, the survey also shows that he is the weakest competitor in regard to Democrat Hillary Clinton.
In a hypothetical matchup, Trump loses to Clinton by 17 points (51%-34%), while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush trails by only four points nationwide, 46%-42%.
The other five top GOP contenders also do better than Trump with Sen. Marco Rubio trailing Clinton by 6 points; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee by 8 points; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker by 9 points; Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul by 10 points; and neurosurgeon Ben Carson by 13 points.
Poll results also show Trump has a huge deficit in term of unfavorable/favorable impression – 61% of those surveyed have an unfavorable impression of him, 23% hold a favorable one. That means a net-negative rating of 38 points. Jeb Bush’s favorable-unfavorable rating is 35%-42%.
USA TODAY’s Susan Page also notes that while many of the other Republicans in the race are still introducing themselves to the American people, Trump’s name recognition is already high. This indicates that he may not have much more room to rise in the polls.
