A frustrated Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday he can’t believe he’s so far behind in the Republican presidential race, with just 1 percent in polls — when Donald Trump is “crazy as hell,” and Ben Carson once “tried to kill someone.”
Carson recalled his hot-tempered childhood on “Meet the Press” Sunday, saying he “would go after people with rocks, and bricks and baseball bats and hammers. And . . . when I was 14 I tried to stab someone.” That was too much for Graham, who consistently polls at the bottom of the GOP pack, way behind co-leaders Trump and Carson.
“On our side, you’ve got the No. 2 guy tried to kill someone at 14, and the No. 1 guy is high energy and crazy as hell,” Graham said on MSNBC.
“How am I losing to these people? Just look at Donald Trump’s foreign policy. What is it? What’s he going to do about ISIL? What is it? What is his game plan to destroy ISIL? Does anybody know?”

Because, Senator Graham, you stand for nothing, and you represent incumbentitis and everything that is wrong with Washington and the GOP establishment.
He has a family? Who knew?
You’re just THAT bad, Lindsey.
Called “rounding up!”
Lindsey Graham makes a southern accent, which I find so appealing in manly men, sound like he should be starring on Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta. Add to that his hissy fits and well, you get the picture. Obviously he does not.
Problem is no one likes Graham. He says things I like to hear—and things that worked long ago —but no more. He is tagged as a real RINO. He comes off as the very worst of the GOPe.
Maybe we want a man as commander-in-chief, Lindsay; someone who can conceptualize the idea that enemies do exist.
Precious and few

you -oo -oo -oo -oo.
It's in one or more of his autobiographies, maybe The Big Picture. He has also discussed it at media interviews. He said the moment he realized he could have killed someone was what made him reevaluate his life and start on the productive path. He tried to stab a bully, but the kid's belt buckle deflected the knife. He ran home and hid in the bathroom to calm down. His mother had Bibles all over the house, and one was in the bathroom. He opened it to the Book of Proverbs (the book of wisdom) and began reading. It changed his life. He has said since then he reads from Proverbs first thing every morning.
To Christians, this is a story of redemption and conversion, the moment when a youthful sinner renounces sin and changes his life for the better for all the decades henceforth. To progressives, this is a fatal flaw and political disqualifier that cannot be understood and can never be forgiven, ever.
The question should be: how can Trump be losing to a too-soft-spoken retired brain surgeon?

Trump ISN’T Losing to the doctor. Falling for a couple of planted and planned so called polls shows nothing when held against the masses showing up at Trump rallys. Polls can be played with, but seeing is believing.
And with his question, he answered his own question.
IOW … he doesn’t get it.
Well, Pansy Graham, you’re a pansy. That pretty much covers all the rest.
We got Romney (candidate in 2012, the Republican nominee) as prez nominee (who actually lost in the general) due to the crowd-the-field tactic. It’s the same one (tactic) that Jeb (present nominee candidate) is attempting (in the Republican Party). Hope you followed this time.
"The way Lindsey got his seat is the same way we got Romney. The GOPe floods the field, Divides and conquers —just on a smaller scale."
By seat you mean his seat in the Senate, and since Romney never was in the senate, nor the House.
Yes he was the nominee in 2012 but there is a difference in what you said. And btw I have no intention of voting for Jeb Bush or Graham.
