Sen. Lindsey Graham will run for president, he told CBS This Morning Monday. Im running because I think the world is falling apart, the South Carolina Republican said. Ive been more right than wrong on foreign policy. He added that his top priorities will be working with Democrats to go after [radical Islamists] before they come back here again. Graham joins an increasingly crowded Republican field, which includes Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, and Rand Paul.

Maybe it is about raising funds with no intent of really winning or ever really running.

Let me see if I can’t find my enthusiasm. I’m sure I left it around here somewhere...

Graham is the only reason Holder was approved to be the AG; and is the only reason Loretta Lynch is the current AG.
He coild have stopped them in committee, but was threatened with being outed as a homosexual if he did.

His top priority isn't to go after ISIS. His top priority is to work with Democrats to go after ISIS. What a stupid comment.

I wish someone would ask some of these hacks WHY they feel compelled to get in a race they should be smart enough to know they cant win. All of these vanity candidates probably are only in it for the campaign contributions they can solicit.

I hope they choke on the money. It is hard to believe there are so many gullible people ready to line their pockets.

But he can have such a great slogan:
“More Jeb Bush than Jeb Bush.”

I don’t understand why Pansy Graham doesn’t just come out of the closet and run as a Demoncrat - he’d have a much better chance of getting elected President.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I thought about that for part of a second, Lindsay.
Uh, “no.”

Graham is in this just to screw up the SC primary and prevent a conservative from using it as a springboard for the rest of th prinaries. He’ll drop out shortly after his job is done. He’sa blocker for the eventual amnesty candidate that the RNC must deliver for The Cheap Labor Express.

Lindseed has zero chance to win. He has let MsStain talk him into believing anyone outside of SC would ever vote for him.

Now, Gramnesty knows he and his dog have equal chances of being elected. He does not have much influence in GOP politics, except with McLame, so he couldn’t be thinking he will move the narrative.
Then why run? 1. muddy the water for Jeb under some promise of AG spot, 2.$$$$$$$ campaign cash converted to free pocket money and as a “Ran of POTUS” it might get him higher speaking fees.
