Lindsey Graham: Paul Ryan Is Presidential Material(backstabbers alert)
Brietbart ^ | 16 Dec 2013 | Mathew Boyle

Posted on 12/16/2013 12:27:05 PM PST by amnestynone

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he thinks that House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is presidential material because of his work on the spending deal he cut with Senate Budget Committee chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). “From my point of view, he's showing leadership," Graham said, according to the Huffington Post. “I mean, if you want to become president, maybe instead of trying to please every faction of your party, maybe you should show the country as a whole I can actually work with the other side on something important.” Huffington Post noted that Graham “added with a laugh” that he thinks “it's a unique way to become president, but I think it might actually work.” Ryan was the vice presidential nominee in last year’s failed bid by Mitt Romney to unseat incumbent President Barack Obama. He, like Graham, supports granting amnesty to America’s at least 11 million illegal aliens--a position that has the ability to undercut any GOP politician’s support from the base, as polls show it did to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Ryan is expected to attempt to champion an amnesty plan through the House in early 2014.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he thinks that House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is presidential material"

Based on the example of the last five years, who the hell isn't?

Anybody that works with the Commie Pat Murray is not presidential material in my book.

So how much did the RATs’ immaculate deception work across the isle with the either side and show the country “leadership” as a senator?

Paul Ryan had little chance before the budget deal.

Christie has some small chance. As bad as Christie is, he at least said he has some concern about being a magnet for illegal freebies and said he wants any dream act to be identical for out of state American.

I oppose any dream act but it is funny seein Christie dodge questions and point out the obvious.

Jeb Bush is too vanilla as Pat Buchanan says.

I think Ryan will survive regardless. I’d like to see Lynn Jenkins and some of the others in leadership get primaried.

Id be happy if Denham or Valadao lost and blamed it on the evil white Republican base for staying at home.

Be good if Kinzinger or Grimm or some other young ignorant RINO loses somehow.

Id like to see Trump or similar go into a Senate race and either sabotage or win the race with like 40% running in opposition to amnesty.

Maybe New Hampshire or somewhere that is not a slam dunk for the GOP.
