Tuesday on CNN’s “At This Hour” Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s calls for the deportation of the 11 million illegal immigrants and their American citizen children is “Joseph McCarthy-like” and “illegal” and he added, “he’s a complete idiot when it comes to Middle East Policy” so if he is the nominee the GOP will “lose, and we should lose.”
Graham said, “Well, I think Donald Trump’s pretty much an idiot on policy and Jeb Bush is a good man. What Jeb was talking about is birth right tourism. Millionaires from China and other Asian nations as well as the Middle East buy tourist visas for the express purpose of having their wife deliver a baby in the United States. There are people who market to rich people in Asia and the Middle East, come here for your vacation, get you a tourist visa with a maternity ward. I think that cheapens citizenship. I’d like to change that one day after we clean up this mess. That’s all Jeb was talking about.”
On Trumps popularity he said, “He’s not leading among women in general. That he has a 65 percent disapproval rating among Hispanics according to a poll last night. Why? Because he says most illegal immigrants are rapists and drug dealers. His plan to deal with illegal immigration is constitutionally unsound. You can’t implement it. It won’t work, and he said last night on television that he would take American citizen children born here whose parents are illegal and send them all back. You can’t do that. I think that’s ridiculous. I think it’s illegal.”
“As to Megyn Kelly, we’ve got two problems in our party, with Hispanics and young women....

If the nominee is a progressive, I switch permanently to the constitution party. That would be, for me to continue to support republicans there needs to be a true conservative constitution supporting candidate. Only Cruz, Jindal, Fiorina, and possibly Paul fit that template.
Linda, talkin’ to the mirror again?
Wow - professional pols just can’t stand The Donald, can they.
How about this: If Idiot Congress is all America has, then the nation is most certainly lost.
Linda, you should be thrashing Hillary over her Middle East policy.
Physician, heal Myself: his “top” is my Senior Senator. Graham should be gone in a week, if there is a G-d.
Did Lindsey just figure this out? All of our immigration needs to be formatted, reinstalled and updated. Otherwise were going to crash.
And this guy is running for president?
We need this guy to tell us what Bush is saying? Btw, if politicians words don't add up it's usually because the truth wasn't included in the equation.
Graham is WRONG... Once the democrats find out (and they will) that TRUMP proposes expanding the federal givernment and raising TAXES... they will be licking his Florsheim’s..
Quietly maybe but will vote for him...
democrats+rinos+tricked silly conservatives+
tricked silly libertarians+AND WIMMEN..
....WINS....
UNLESS Ted Cruz UNMASKS HIM (later).... tick.. tick..tick..
“Graham chalked Trump’s lead up to a “dark side of politics that Mr. Trump is appealing to.””
Hmmm. On the other hand, apparently Graham appeals to the light, squishy, jello pudding pops RINO side of politics, and Trump’s supporters are now not only low information voters, but are also minions of Darth Vader to boot!
BTW, Lindsey, are you simply one more designated GOPe get-Trump hitman, or do you really think that the things you are saying about Trump will convince anyone to switch from Trump to you?
Every time one of these idiots flogs that “11 million” lie, they lose what little credibility they have left.
Trump is succeeding because so many people know it’s a lie and they’re sick and tired of hearing it.
Stop making fun of Lindsay Graham! People listen to him, at least if they work for the media and can use his words to tar a conservative. He’s doing well in the polls, beating Jim Gilmore in Iowa and he’s at 4 percent in his home state of South Carolina without the money he’s got 1/10 the support in SC that Trump does.
We already know that you’d prefer a Democrat win to a Trump win, Lindsey.
Gotta keep the cozy DC corporate/politician oligarchy going at all costs.
This is why you GOPe hate him. He can’t be bought but he can pull down your $$$ house of cards. The players are exposing themselves right and left. Run cochroachs, run!
Give it up. We’re onto the real game in DC.
You are putting out totally false propaganda. Good luck with that.
How many times does Trump have to say that he will get rid of entire departments and cut the rest to the bone and they will run efficiently.
In your world, that’s not smaller government?
I’m not a “silly” woman. I’m a real woman. I’m not a Libertarian either.
Wait a second... what happened to holding your nose and voting for the Republican as conservatives have done for most of the last 20 years? Wouldn’t want to be purists, would we?
Richard Simmons could slap some sense into him.
Someone should suggest that Lindsey Graham should drop out and endorse Cruz if he’s so afraid of a Trump win.
B-b-b-but what about the pledge everyone but Trump took to support the nominee?
Lindsey Graham knows he has zero chance in this race.
So one really has to wonder why he’s even in it.
