1. smart and trump in same sentence?? what ARE you smoking dear boy?

[Ilsa]

2. I guess a few people have gotten a good night's sleep overestimating his smarts.

I would not be one of them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. He is not smarter than that, but Graham knows he watches TV all the time

and would be flattered by that statement. Graham is an ass but he isn’t stupid. He’s trying to manipulate Spanky into proving how smart he is by not firing Mueller.

[Zoonart]

6. You are absoutely right.

This is the same tack I take when I'm confronted by a Trumper that I can't afford to burn.
I say:" You are much to intelligent to think this way."

[Siwsan]

4. Is Lindsey trying to use reverse psychology on trump*?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. That is my guess.

[duforsure]

7. Spouting nonsense like that

Sounds like you've had your head up trump's ass for too long .

[jrthin]

8. Graham is a dumbass. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. No, he's quite smart and very sly and sneaky. He's manipulating Trump,

who is actually stupid, by flattering him. By saying "he's too smart for that" he's signaling to Trump that he (Trump) is such a smart guy that he'd never do something as dumb as firing Mueller. Graham has done this sort of thing before. He's a dick but he's not stupid. He knows how to play Trump.

9. thinks he's smarter than that? I don't

[LiberalLovinLug]

10. When Trump has nothing else to lose, smarts doesn't come into it

[Your Waiter Tonight]

12. Trump is Not Smarter than That

Or anything else, for that matter.

[Hulk]

13. Just cant bring myself to listen to this southern belle...

...and whiny accent of his. Honestly, this jackass apologist has nothing I want to hear.

[marble falls]

14. Says a guy that is a lot dumber than he looks, and he looks like a goober to me....

Like my grandmother used to say, "Bless his heart he don't mean no harm, next time keep him away from the firearms, thats all I am saying, dear."

Ah, gramma.....

[standingtall]

15. Graham also said the Russia investigation would clear Trump

doesn't look like it is going to turnout that way now.

[Pobeka]

16. Then Trump will also have no problem with legislation protecting Mueller.

Do it Lindsey. Do it NOW.
