South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday that real estate mogul Donald Trumps rhetoric on immigration is going to kill the Republican Party and its chances of winning back the White House in 2016.
Appearing on CNNs At This Hour with hosts John Berman and Kate Bolduan, Graham argued that Trumps comments on Mexican illegal immigrants is going to destroy the GOPs chances of winning in 2016, adding further that the party needs to be clear about how we handle this.

What a dam fool. No YOU and your RINO pals have destroyed the party, Lindsey. Trump is bringing it back to life. They’re just afraid that their sweet Oligarchy deals are over. They are wetting their GOPe pants. That traitorous house of cards will come tumbling down with a Trump presidency. Good. Want to see real change? Vote for Trump. Real hope and change against the beltway cesspit. Prosecute these sell outs. It’s time they paid a price for there treachery.
Oh?
“Your party”?
You mean the party that conservatives helped win the last two elections?
The same party that has done its level best to screw said conservatives?
All the while being up obammy’s ass?
I sure wish nancy pelosi would beat tar out of graham in the coat room.
I agree. It's been a long time since I went off on an a-logical rant.
I think it's getting to me that the country's reaction to Trump (at least the outward reaction) is so lacking in anything rational. There are millions of arguments against him being president, and in many ways the guy is a joke, even as in many ways the guy is a complete winner at life who gets stuff done. Personally I don't like or identify with the guy.
What's incredible is the group-think reaction to the content of what' he's said, the immediate jump to 'Trump Hates Mexicans and if You Agree With Him You Are Bad And Evil and also Hate Blacks and Gays.'
You can not have a logical, rational discourse in this country about an increasingly large set of topics. I remember 25 years ago when the term PC was in it's infancy -> it was kind of a funny subject. Then it got obnoxious, then ridiculous. But now it's gotten absolutely dangerous to say certain things which are demonstrable facts, or even to play devil's advocate on certain topics.
It's a witch hunt country now, and the Republicans have joined the libs as hunters. That's probably where the anger in that rant comes from. No - they are not stupid (they ARE spineless - all bullies, sell outs and those with weak will/minds who simply see that the hunters are greater in number so must either be right-after-all or better-join-them-so-I-don't get-hunted ... are spineless.)
It's not my love for Trump that rattles me about the reaction ... it's that the reaction to his words makes it clear humans have dropped into a severely dangerous state of cult like no-mind lynch herd mode ...
Maybe a final way of saying it that I've always accepted that most humans are sheep. These days though, they are rabid, infectious, frothing and have enlisted the the wolves who hypnotized them in the first place, to join them in attacking all other forms of civil life.
I'm just a horse on the hillside observing, saying 'wow, this was always bad, but now, it's really really really bad.'
Did not the GOPe declar war on the Tea Party last election cycle? I seriously doubt anyone out side of DC gives a Rats Butt about GOPe it’s a clone of the Rat party, and just as corrupt.
He means Trump’s talk about the abuse of the American people by illegals is going to kill the Rinos’ little pup tent which resides at the country club.
More pre-teen taunting?
You’re a real piece!
Like I said you sound EXACTLY like Lindsey. A petulant, little, weak, squirrelly, wimpy, uninformed response is all you got. Trust me, I’m not in the minority here with that observation of who you are.
Truth just paralyses you!
When you turn 14, post again!
Cool.
You, Lindsey, McCain, Jeb, Hillary, NBC, Univision, et al share the same position. I on the other hand stand with Cruz, Trump, Jim Robinson on illegal immigration.
~cheers loser
Exactly. What Lindsey and the media hog Nikki Haley have done is alienating the base. It’s not Trump that is harming the GOP, its Lindsey and Nikki. Nikki’s responses to the flag were perfectly in line with radical left.
No Lindsey, it’s you who has been killing the party.
The base of the GOP really cares about the Confederate Battle Flag?
I get that some people are looking for anything they can use against the RINOs, but seriously, how large a share of the country or the GOP really cared about whether the CBF flies in Columbia?
The bigger problem by far is the filthy lying democrats and their love affair with ALL criminals and thugs...
We are a young country, and we need to preserve our history. Our historic battlefields are being destroyed for urban sprawl and cheap houses. Historic symbols are trashed, and history rewritten.
This all reminds me of the Bolsheviks during Russia's Civil War. When they won, the possession of or link to a White Army battle flag meant a horrible death, and all those flags had to be destroyed - that's why so few remain.
It's not just the battle flag, which Nikki hates so much, there are words that if spoken cause Americans to have a meltdown. We now have alphabet words where we can say only the first letter, no matter that it means exactly the same thing as the word. I just read that on one campus uttering the word "wetback" brought hysteria and sanctions. This is insanity.
Graham-nesty, your party is part of the problem.
Democrats do suck but it is hard to blame them for Boner and McConnell not doing anything the GOP promised to do during the campaign last year. It seems to me that GOP-E republicrats like Graham are an equally serious problem.
You said it all in 11 words.
You better put some ice on it, Lindsey.
