Lindsay Graham, as part of the taunt-war he’s having with Donald Trump, says that if Trump wins the GOP nomination, it will mean the end of the Republican Party.

I say: GOOD...it’s been a one party system since after Reagan left....
Every Insult In the Book, and Then Some (the emotional litmus test)
From their hatred I could not hide
They have forced me into this zoticide
IBTIZ (in before the idiot zot)
The GOP-T, not for Trump but for the Tea Party.

GMTA.
