Lindsey Graham shines at undercard debate
CNN Politics ^ | September 16, 2015 | Manu Raju

The Lindsey Graham show turned up in Simi Valley, California, during tonight's CNN Republican presidential debate.

After a flat performance in August at the first GOP debate, the South Carolina senator lit up the crowd at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library during CNN's undercard debate, lashing his opponents with sharp barbs and dropping zingers that brought roars of approval.

"That's the first thing I'm going to do as president: We're going to drink more," he said.

Graham also trashed Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton in eyebrow-raising terms.

"Where the hell were you" during the Benghazi, Libya, attacks, Graham fumed when he was asked about his past praise for Clinton.

He was no more charitable with some of his Republican rivals, saying he was "sick of hearing" fellow Sen. Ted Cruz calling for defunding Obamacare while President Barack Obama was in office and certain to veto such legislation.

There was a first debate? what were the qualifications, breathing?

i just shut off the Carly Fiorina show, with the rigged audience.

And i NEVER believe audiences are rigged, until tonight.

Republican audience doesn’t mean Conservative audience.

I dont even know what republicans stand for anymore.

Cruz was brilliant. I wish I could think and respond like him

Suck.com. Good one. CNN slurps their favorite surrender monkey. Nothing they say or write could shine up Graham.

“shines”

Shine is a racist term. It’s even in the ‘Urban Dictionary’.

Old days, indeed! I found it on my first online adventures...

And, up until a few months ago, it was still online at its old URL.

But it's enshrined at Archive.com for all to see!

They must have seen a different debate than the one I saw. Jindal owned him.

I like Santorum and Jindal. The other two are out of the question for me.
