Sen. Lindsey Graham on White House bid: 'I'm running'
Politico ^ | 05/18/2015 | By KATIE GLUECK

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday that he will announce his decision about whether to run for president on June 1 in his hometown of Central, S.C., but left little doubt about his intentions by saying “I’m running.”

“I’m running because of what you see on television, I’m running because I think the world is falling apart, I’ve been more right than wrong on foreign policy,” he said on “CBS This Morning,” when asked if he was running because he was unimpressed with the rest of the field (and appearing to dispense with the pretense that he hasn’t decided whether to jump in). “It’s not the fault of others, or their lack of this or that that makes me want to run, it’s my ability in my own mind to be a good commander-in-chief and to make Washington work.”

Graham, who is one of the Senate’s leading national security hawks, would be a longshot in the crowded Republican presidential field but could be influential in pressuring the other contenders on foreign policy issues. In recent weeks, the chances of his running, according to Graham, have gone from 91 percent to “98.6 percent” to 99.9 percent. He has also staffed up his exploratory committee.

... is there any proof he is queer?

I ask you... is there any proof he isn't?

Wiki shows us no proof, he'll be 60 this year.

...Never been married, No Kids, not even a mention of a girlfriend. No mention of a boifriend.

A 60 yr old man has never had a significant other in his life?

Seriously, who, besides immediate family, could be thrilled about a Linda Graham campaign? I’d like to get a load of that type of person. Scary.

Why? I guess he can steal some votes from Jeb, but I don’t even think he can do much of that.

Graham is in this to screw up the SC primary, he’ll drop out after his job is done. He’s a blocker for the eventual amnesty candidate that the RNC must deiver for The Cheap Labor Express.

Wendy Davis has a pair of slightly used pink sneakers she doesn’t need anymore and I bet they would probably fit Lindsey pretty well for his Presidential trot.

Excellent Linda. Perhaps you can vacate your Senate seat so you can concentrate fully on your bullsh** Presidential run.

I'm guessing Obama thought the same. In fact, I know he did.

Just as I thought would happen this primary season. Republicans will flood the GOP race with moderate/liberal candidates in an attempt to water down the conservative message.

Lo and behold.
