The problem with making such a jest...is it will be spun until it no longer is a just a jest and becomes an endorsement, because that's exactly what the liberal media wants.

The press are masters at avoiding context and manipulating context when it works to their advantage and serves their interests.
I doubt it.. Graham is an admitted Socialist(Democrat) and fighter of the "Social Injustice" caused by free enterprise.
He would vote for Hillary.
