Lindsey Graham to Jump Into 2016 Presidential Race: ‘Ready to Be Commander-in-Chief on Day One’
ABC News ^ | 6-1-2015 | Erin Dooley

Posted on 06/01/2015 8:14:14 AM PDT by tcrlaf

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is “ready to be commander-in-chief on day one,” the Republican will say when he announces his presidential candidacy in South Carolina today, according to excerpts of his remarks as prepared for delivery.

“I intend to be president not of a single party, but of a nation,” he will say. “I want to do more than make big government smaller. I want to help make a great nation greater.”

Graham, a retired Air Force colonel, enters the race just as a fierce battle over national security rages in the Senate. The South Carolina senator – a noted defense hawk – stands in sharp contrast to Sen. Rand Paul, who spent Sunday night railing against anti-terrorism provisions in the PATRIOT act and just last month declared that GOP hawks have contributed to the rise of ISIS.

“I want to be president to defeat the enemies trying to kill us, not just penalize them or criticize them or contain them, but defeat them,” Graham, 59, will say today.

I agree. Still upset with Pres. Reagan
for choosing Bush as his VP. Don’t make
that mistake again.

The next one to jump in will probably be Kasich in Ohio. I think this is all about favorite sons pulling enough votes away from Cruz, Paul, Carson etc. If they win their states primary they bow out and throw their delegates to Jeb. This is all to familiar.

There are actually people here on FR that would vote for Huckabee, and the only reason is because he’s “religious”.

Grim has one assignment from the RNC/GOPe which is to dilute Cruz support enough that Cruz does not win S. Carolina.

That there makes some sense. Nothing else about this does.

Who ISN’T running on the GOP ticket?

After this announcement, I'm considering tossing my hat in the ring.

It ought to be good for a few steak dinners and some travel.

I'll drop out before the debates and give my support to Cruz.
