WASHINGTON - If business mogul Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz win the GOP presidential nomination, Republicans will lose the 2016 contest, one of their former rivals, Sen. Lindsey Graham, declared Thursday.
"The only way we lose this election is to nominate somebody who cannot grow this party's vote among minorities, young women, and the coalitions we need to win," Graham told reporters on Capitol Hill. "If you nominate Trump and Cruz I think you'd get the same outcome. Whether it's death by being shot or poisoning, does it really matter? I don't think the outcome will be substantially different."

Lindsey misses the days when moderates used to be nominated, so that republicans could win! (that is, lose to democrats with dignity)

I think he understands the situation correctly from a GOP-E perspective.

You can grow the minority and young women vote all you want but you’re not going to win if you lose the white middle class. Your move Lindsay!

It would be a shame if Trump or Cruz stopped all the momentum that Congress has got going on.

If I lived in Grahams state or McCains or some of the other rinotards I would vote for their liberal opponents just to get them out. These clowns need to be thrown out like the trash they are.
