Lindsey Graham: Rubio Too 'Afraid Of The Right' To Back In 2016
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | October 3, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 10/03/2014 9:06:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said his experience passing an immigration bill with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) left him convinced his younger colleague isn't up to the presidency, in part because he's “so afraid of the right.”

Graham made the comments to the Weekly Standard's Steven Hayes, and in the interview declared that he may run for president himself, saying he would want to inject his hawkish national security views into the debate.

But his remarks about Rubio were perhaps more notable. Graham, for instance, compared Rubio's level of experience to President Obama's before taking offfice – albeit just before saying Rubio is “no Obama.”(continued)

Is "hawkish" a new euphemism for foolish, high-pitched and suicidal?

Learn it, live it, love it, Lindsey.

I think Lindsey wants to get into a pissing match with Rubio to deter him from future ambition(s).

Lindsey swings both ways you know and it’s always in his favor.

He will do anything to protect his own position and that of
some majority dems.

Lindsey has clay feet..

To have concern expressed by Gramnesty is an endorsement.

Well if he does run he’ll split the GOPe vote. So let’s hope Lindsey runs.

If Graham, McCain or Rubio replace Chuck Hagel you could get a conservative in one of those seats.

None of the three are qualified to hold such a position!

After the 2016 election, with a Pub Prez, I’d prefer to see Col. Allen West as SecDef!!!! Sgt. Hagel is just a lap dog.

One of my bigger disappointments for 2014 was that Graham again won the nomination to run in SC. I’ve spent a lot of time in SC and had high hopes he would be replaced. Sadly it was not to be.

My disappointment also. I bet the vote was rigged.
How could Lindsey Graham disappoint his Lord and Master
Harry Reid?
Lindsey is a yes man , no backbone and feet of clay
