The hawkish Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says he is thinking about running for president in 2016.

In an interview with Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard, the senator, running for re-election to the Senate this year, said: “If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobody’s out there talking — me and McCain have been talking — I may just jump in to get to make these arguments,” Graham said.

Well on the bright side, the RINO’s might be making the mistakes conservatives made in 2008-2012 by splitting the vote between several candidates (Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and now Lindsey Graham).

I can’t think of a worthier successor to the present occupant of that office.

YES! Do IT! I think your best chance at success is to retire from the Senate and concentrate on the POTUS office!

Good!
Let’s get Lindsay Graham to run, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and at least one other Establishment moderate.

Then let’s make sure Kentucky does not change its election rules so that Rand Paul can run for both Senator and President. Let’s encourage Rand to give us one Presidential election cycle off from having a Paul on the ticket.

Meanwhile, let’s all coalesce around Ted Cruz and BEG the Conservative vote-splitters not to run this time. Let’s stop the Ben Carson/Rick Santorum/Herman Cain/Michelle Bachmann/Local Congressman nonsense before it gets started, for a change. No more one-in-a-billion shot candidates.

Cruz can win, and he will win if we coalesce around him and have several Establishment candidates running against each other.

It's all fun and games until Romney/Bush/Christie/Huckabee becomes the nominee

No Betty. It's not fun and games. It's deadly serious.

That's why my preferred primary scenario is five RINOs running against ONE conservative (which I pray will be Ted Cruz).

The opposite scenario -- five conservatives against ONE RINO -- will guarantee that the Republican nominee in 2016 will be a RINO, in which case I won't be voting for president at all.

I mean, don’t puke, laugh. Graham ain’t gonna be nominated, if he even runs.

Just another Senator who sees the President in the mirror, pathetic!

RE :”LOL I mean, don’t puke, laugh. Graham ain’t gonna be nominated, if he even runs.”

From what I understand the RNC shortened the primary and reduced the number of debates to 2 or three so that the leading candidate., whoever that will be), can win early.

Christie, Bush, Rubio?

” Rubio?”

LOL.

Anyway it’s good they’re trying to shorten it, it’s too long.
