Lindsey Graham and Mike Huckabee say they are serious about thinking about running in 2016
Wa Compost ^ | Sun, Jan 18, 2015 | Jaime Fuller

On NBC's "Meet the Press," Graham announced that he has set up a committee to see "whether a guy like Lindsey Graham has a viable path."

"We're not polling, but we set up a testing-the-waters committee under the IRS code," he said earlier.

No Romney, no Rubio, no Graham, no Christie, no Huckabee, no Paul, no Jeb Bush. All are proven lightweights and they are experts at crawfishing.

Nominate any of those cats and you can count me out.

Walker? Maybe. I know little about him. I will give him a look.

Cruz? I’m in.

A primary election that featured both Ted and linda here in SC would be mighty interesting.

My prediction: linda would win. For the same reasons she won the primary against Lee Bright et al.

I wonder how much Karl Rove’s organization is paying Huckabee to run?

I hope Lindsey runs.

He'll learn something. The SCGOP, made up of crypto-democrats, has manipulated the election laws to keep him from a genuine primary challenge.

Maybe he even tells himself that he is popular. But among the middle-class conservatives, he is despised as a craven little turncoat.

So, let his ego behold the truth. The SCGOP won't be able to manipulate a presidential primary, and Lindsey will know the truth. South Carolina hates him.

Graham could also be the perfect block to a Tea Party type such as Cruz. Light in the Loafers could deny Cruz a win in SC and weaken his chances down the road in later primaries. McCain's bi**h has no chance of winning the nomination but could play the spoiler.

This is pretty much the plan. McInsane will direct his puppet Graham to do this very thing, for the sole purpose of wounding Cruz's campaign.

I think it is an evil plan. To continually piss off conservatives enough to keep us away from the polls. This ways dems will forever win and we are forever ruined. They are probably all getting democrat, liberal, leftist, commie, socialists funding.

Clearly this is desogned to halt any conservative from winning in SC. SC needs to fight back!

No. Let the Huckster run. He has become a RINO. Let Huckabee, Bush III, Graham, Romney and Christie all run and split the RINO vote like the atom, and let Ted Cruz waltz to the nomination.

He would hurt Romney and Bush. He will win the first Southern Primary in SC. How a Southern state that is supposed to be so Conservative can keep electing that RINO faggot is beyond me. RUN LINDSEY; RUN!
