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.
The performance quickly earned Graham praise on social media, in much the same way Carly Fiorina impressed the audience during last month's debate.
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.
He ridiculed Donald Trump as "a cartoon character" who gets his foreign policy from the Cartoon Network....

I agree Jindal won the 'early debate' and did a decent job distinguishing himself from the rest of the under-card pack.
At the end of the day though, Jindal's not going to get a significant bump to the "big stage" and that's unfortunate because I kinda like him when sticks to conservative principles and I think he's a bright guy. IMO he deserves a "better" hearing than he's getting now. But again, that's just my own opinion.
Agree! He came off as a whining little girl trying to rationalize why he can't do anything in Congress such as de-fund Planned Parenthood.
I'm glad I was able to watch on CNN's website and that I didn't actually have to pay a cable tv bill to watch the crap-filled debates that both were.
Lindsey Graham is a moron.
Unfortunately that would never be allowed to happen. Even if ¡Yeb's! numbers were to fall that low, they would nix the "kiddie table" format before they would force ¡Yeb! to endure such a humiliation.
Memo to Graham.
Don’t try to play “Axe Cop” when you haven’t got an Axe. And the rest of the world already knows you are really “Flute Cop”!!!
He’s unhinged. He’d be the most likely to do Martial law against Americans out of all the GOP candidates.
Gee. “Manu Raju” likes Linda.
I’m shocked.
