Graham rips Trump's 'nonsensical' foreign policy speech
http://www.politico.com/ ^ | Brianna Gurciullo

Sen. Lindsey Graham tore into Donald Trump’s speech on foreign policy, calling it “unnerving,” “pathetic” and “scary.”

The South Carolina Republican former presidential candidate told WABC Radio on Wednesday that the speech was “nonsensical” and showed that Trump “has no understanding of the world and the role we play.”

“This speech was unnerving. It was pathetic in its content, and it was scary in terms of its construct. If you had any doubt that Donald Trump is not fit to be commander in chief, this speech should’ve removed it,” Graham said. “It took every problem and fear I have with Donald Trump and put in on steroids.”

He added: “It was like a guy from New York reading a speech that somebody wrote for him that he edited that makes no sense.” And: “It was not a conservative speech. This was a blend of random thoughts built around Rand Paul’s view of the world.”

If Graham and other neoconservatives hate it, then I like it. It was a great speech.

Our goal is peace and prosperity, not war and destruction.

Old Right Conservative Robert A Taft couldn't have said it any better.

Coming from Lindsey, somebody who never saw a bomb he didn't want to drop, or an American he didn't want to send to his death.

For nothing.

You’re all hat and no cattle, Linda.

Wall to wall insults and hand waving, with no actual quotes or hard references.

Talking points in the form of bumper stickers.

And why?

Because it was one of the greatest speeches ever, and slaughtered the GOPe AND Hillary, that’s why.

Why is this man even given a platform to air his opinion and who cares about Graham?

Ever since the impeachment ordeal Lindsey Graham has been a media whore, always giving interviews- always shadowing John McCain—constant invites on the Sunday Talk shows.

Yet, with all that publicity under his belt, he decides to run for President and can’t even get to the prime time debate or collect a single delegate!

Lindsey Graham needs to sit his marshmellow self down. Because tomorrow, Cruz will steal every idea Trump proposed and Lindsey will love it.

"I think the entire world is going to look at Donald Trump as a guy who doesn’t understand the role of America, that doesn’t understand the benefit of these alliances,” Graham said.

"What people need to get a grip on in the Washington establishment is their job is to understand Trump. His job isn't to understand them. They live in a world of ideas and details and policy programs and long papers and conferences and ideas. This guy lives in a world of making very big decisions, doing very big things, and I think you could start keeping a list." - Newt Gingrich
