The hawkish Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says he is thinking about running for president in 2016.
In an interview with Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard, the senator, running for re-election to the Senate this year, said: “If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobody’s out there talking — me and McCain have been talking — I may just jump in to get to make these arguments,” Graham said.

My dream 2016 primary season: Romney, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee and Lindsay Graham running against the sole conservative Ted Cruz!
Please God, let it happen.
This is actually great news. The more rinos in the ring the more the RINO vote is diluted during the primary season
PROOF THE RINO PARTY HAS NO INTENTION OF EVER WINNING ANOTHER ELECTION!
Not to worry. His run won’t amount to much. It’ll be less noticeable than Joe Biden’s earlier runs.
load the field with RINO scum....
This isn’t really what I would call news.
If you find a Republican who’s NOT running for President, now that would be news.
But will his wife be a transvestite?
In the past, there has been one “moderate” candidate and multiple “conservative” candidates. This has allowed the so-called “moderate” to dominate in the primaries.
I would not mind if more “moderates” were in the primaries with one solid conservative. Split the RINO vote and allow the conservative to emerge victorious.
If she/he/it is a “protected class” veteran with some sort of disability, there’s a chance for him.
He won’t run for president. He might prance but he won’t run.
Thats how Reagan did it in ‘80.
So if in 2016 we have Christie, Bush, Romney, Graham, Cruz, Walker and Paul running, chances are excellent that we’ll end up with Cruz or Walked.
I like the odds on that.
LOL! Now that’s some HOPE and CHANGE I could believe in. :>}
What arguments would he make?
“As President, I vow to make any deals necessary to keep the party in power, to not be bound by a belief in small government and to finally rid the Republican party of those Tea Party bastards for good!”
Is this a parody site of some sort? Because I can’t believe that Lindsey Graham honestly thinks he could win.
Gotta make sure his murse is secure before any prancing starts.
Democrats must be very thankful for one thing: the Republican Party. They can always count on them to self-destruct.
The Republicans don’t even have a sword to fall on.
Hmmm. I don’t think winning is part of the thought process here.
Yep, he’s probably just trolling for PAC money.
Winning and Republican are contradictory terms that should never be used in the same sentence.
