Graham: Trump Speech ‘Unnerving and Pathetic’
Breitbart ^ | 27 Apr 2016 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/28/2016 2:05:38 AM PDT by detective

Wednesday on WABC Radio’s “Election Central with Rita Cosby,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a former Republican presidential candidate, said front-runner Donald Trump’s foreign policy speech today was at times “unnerving” and “pathetic,” and also was “scary it terms of its construct.”

Graham said, “He has no understanding of the world and the role we play,” adding, “This is worse than Obama. Obama is seen in by the region in the Mid East as being an unreliable partner. I think the entire world is going to look at Donald Trump as guy who doesn’t understand the role of America.”

Worse than Obama??? John Bolton, a man with a brain and testicles, thought it was a good speech. I hope the voters pull the chain on this piece of crap at the next election.

I am sure Linda's opinion might have carried some weight if he had not been one of the very first contenders for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination to be eliminated.

I didn’t hear or read the speech but if the GOPe and the neo-cons hated it then it must have been pretty good.

I imagine when Trump get into office, there’s going to be a lot released about just what shenanigans Graham and others were playing in the middle east. Graham must be worried. I wouldn’t doubt charges could be coming for some of them, like McCain.

Trump has an excellent understanding of the world and the role we play. Unlike Graham and the GOPe, the entire world is going to look at Donald Trump as guy who really understands the role of America, as it is now and what it really should be!

Graham and other GOPe are the ones with their head in the sand as America's prestige is being reduced.

Perhaps Graham should back up his assertions with exactly what he thinks that Trump does not understand. Graham does not want to embarrass himself more than he already has.

When Russia goes into Syria to do the job the US wouldn’t do, then there’s a clue that our foreign policy might be a bit jacked up.

When our foreign policy causes a new terrorist organization to rise out of the ashes of previous terrorist organizations left after the previous president burned them out, then there could be a problem with our foreign policy.

When our foreign policy is based on alienating our long-time allies and making friendly with hostile countries that want to destroy America, it might be a bit problematic.

I do not know how anyone could possibly think that Trump’s foreign policy is somehow “unnerving.”

The best foreign policy is to have a strong military and to make it clear that we have no hesitation to use that military. When we go into negotiations with that understanding, our adversaries become more willing to make deals that promote peace, and the military is less likely to be used. One cannot negotiate from a position of weakness.

What is 'pathetic' is how the voters of South Carolina keep sending that pansy back to the Senate time after time.

But he's traveling that Yellow Brick Road now baby ...

Was Graham involved in that Clinton/Lewinsky impeachment
fiasco where the Senate good ol’ boy club refused to
stand with the House of Representatives & REMOVE that
bulbous CANKER SORE from the semen stained Oval Office?
- As a result; BOO! SURPRISE! Clintons keep crawling
out of the woodwork & we now face the specter of Hitler-y
as POTUS & Billious as FLOTUS long after the sell-by
date on those two old boobs.

"He has no understanding of the world and the role we play"

Actually, he has an excellent understanding of exactly that, which is why NRO, William Kristol, Lindsey Graham, Hugh Hewitt, Powerline Blog and (sadly) Mark Levin have such a big problem with him.

I can't even listen to Rush anymore. You can hear his frustration at supporting Cruz without being able to admit it.

I tried again yesterday and he was talking up Cruz and downplaying Trump the day after a massive win.

I read that Rush has chimed in with his secret buddy Linda Graham and made fun of Trump’s speech, along with Levin.

Levin didn't like it because Cruz didn't say it. Otherwise, he would be doing cheers for it. He's destroyed himself with his worship of Cruz. Graham simply wants to intervene in any conflict, anywhere. It is pretty odd that he is Mr. Toughguy when it comes to foreign policy, but Mr. Pantywaist on everything else. Maybe it means nothing to him to send other peoples kids to battle.

Yea, Trump left out the part about the new gay and lesbo uniform options for the military that Lindsay is so committed to.

“You can hear his frustration at supporting Cruz without being able to admit it.”

He should probably drop that charade. Does he really think he is fooling anyone?

That's correct and the names you mentioned all have vested interest in the status quo.
