A number of GOP 2016 White House hopefuls have visited South Carolina in recent months, but the Palmetto State might have a homegrown candidate.U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-Seneca, told The Weekly Standard that he is weighing a presidential bid if he wins a third Senate term next month.The magazine wrote:In our interview, Graham repeatedly spoke of the challenges that will face the next president because of the mistakes made under Obama. And he suggested that he might just be the one to fix them.If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobodys out there talkingme and (U.S. Sen. John) McCain have been talkingI may just jump in to get to make these arguments, Graham said.The story notes how Graham has become a vocal critic of the Obama administration's national security issues, like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio -- one of those 2016 prospects who have visited South Carolina. Graham said he could do better.Hes a good guy, but after doing immigration with himwe dont need another young guy not quite ready, Graham told The Weekly Standard. Hes no Obama by any means, but hes so afraid of the right, and Ive let that go.Andrew Jackson is considered the only president born in South Carolina, though some dispute he might have lived just over the border in North Carolina.Graham has a comfortable lead a month before the election. He leads Democrat Brad Hutto by 18 percentage points, according to a Winthrop University poll released this week.
The delusion is strong in this one.
LOL, if he runs, the MSM will back him all the way to the nomination. The Republicans will again let the MSM pick the candidate to LOOSE!
He wouldn’t know what to do without being told by jon mc cain. Every campaign needs a CLOWN and lindsie is that clown, sorry for insulting REAL CLOWNS.
Boner should run.
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,
ROFLMFAO!!!!!
Wait! I was too hasty. This might get traction with Meghan McCain as the VP candidate.
Oh! No! No! No! No!
Two queer presidents in a row? Bill Clinton was a scumbag, but at least he was straight.
I hope he runs along with a lot of other liberals....let’s let them split the rino vote!!!
Hoh ....K.
Pick your prettiest dress.
When you go down in flames, best to look Fthabulous and pirouette. ...
....and the RINO GOPe crowd will demand we eat this s*** sandwich, lest we be forced to eat a s*** sandwich.
Bill Clinton was a scumbag, but at least he was straight.
No, he was bent. Crooked.
silly season, in New York we’re hearing reports that George Pataki is considering running.
My guess, their staff is putting out trial balloons, and everyone else’s staff is doing the same.
Jeb, POTUS and Linseed, VP?
Rots of ruck, America.
Double stag leap - impressive.
No way in hell would I vote for him if he’s our nominee.
