Graham gives his opinion and also the opinion of the Republican establishment.

Graham's presidential run was a miserable failure. Graham's record in the Senate has been a miserable failure.

Trump gave an excellent speech in which he identified the failures of American foreign policy and offered intelligent, common sense solutions.

Graham offers nothing but a defense of the failed status quo.

I am more convinced than ever that Trump needs to be the nominee and the next president.

Rita Cosby.....isn’t she the dumbo that read the first decision from the Supreme Court and called is a “win for Gore - a lifeline?” Her colleague standing beside her was saying “um, no Rita, I don’t think it says that....”

“Trump gave an excellent speech in which he identified the failures of American foreign policy and offered intelligent, common sense solutions.”

I agree. IMHO, the problem with people like Graham and so many others in elected positions is that they think being successfully elected means that they actually somehow magically know more about everything than anyone else. That is false, and ‘unnerving and pathetic’. People like Graham think that they possess some special nuanced understanding of things like ‘foreign policy’ that the rest of us don’t get. The sad truth is that he, and so many of his colleagues in elected office are the ones who don’t get it. This statement by him exemplifies this.

Trump is distilling foreign policy down to a very basic principle that should be the same basic principle for all serving under the US Constitution: America First. We can’t help the world, wield positive influence, and be a force for good in the world if we are not stable as a nation.

"I think the entire world is going to look at Donald Trump
as guy who doesn’t understand the role of America.”

"The World" does not define America's role.
America defines America's role.

(...and Donald Trump is the only one defining
that role in America's favor.)

Trump pushed a real reset button on FP. He’s going to win in a landslide against Clinton.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) should be in federal prison with the rest of the gang of 535. Uniparty punks are always undermining, dismissing, mocking, over-riding, ignoring and arrogantly thumbing their noses at the citizens of the republic. An arrogant POS senator in the CONgre$$ is saying this about the presumptive nominee for the president brought forth by the citizens of his “party” along with crossovers and independents. AFP is FUBAR as Trump so clearly tells us. Hillary, Graham, McCain, etc., etc. are the architects. The coming tsunami should sweep this treasonous prick undermining the will of the people out of politics on the next go ‘round.

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents…

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…

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.”

Trump understands the role that America has been playing and said, "enough of this stupid crap".

If the world wants our protection, pay up. We are a country and we will put our national interests, FIRST.

We will secure out borders, and mexico will pay for the wall.

Israel is our ally, most mooselimbs are our enemy.

The european elite can kiss our collective asses. Pay up.

It is embarrasing to see my state continue to put Linda Lightfoot in office. Linda needs to lighten up, how can she expect Trump to make a great speech after having his brains beaten out by Linda?

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 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.
