Lindsey Graham Goes Full On #NeverTrump
Talking Points Memo ^ | May 6, 2016 | yCaitlin MacNeal

Posted on 05/06/2016 12:13:55 PM PDT by detective

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Friday that he will not support Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee, but that he also refuses to support Hillary Clinton.

"As for me, I absolutely will not support Hillary Clinton for President. She represents the third term of Barack Obama, and our nation cannot afford to continue those failed policies at home or abroad," he said in a Friday afternoon statement. "I also cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative nor has he displayed the judgment and temperament to serve as Commander in Chief."

Graham elaborated on his refusal to get behind Trump as the nominee in a Friday interview on CNN, describing an election between Clinton and Trump as a "race to the bottom."

It’s telling that he would endorse Cruz but not Trump.

Graham pledged to support the nominee.

Yes, they ALL took the pledge to support the nominee, Cruz, Kasich, Jeb and Sen loose loafers included.

I think it's time for DT to give out Lindsey's phone # again, so we can call and remind him.

Graham’s reason? “Trump is not a conservative.” From the biggest RINO and CINO in the government.

I just don’t see how Trump will make it without Linda’s endorsement.

There is something deeply wrong and evil about these people. We are seeing the attempted overthrow of America.

It's one thing if the party just selected a nominee and pushed him out on the ballot.

But there was a process, by the rules, and a series of primary elections. Trump was chosen by the Republican voters to be the nominee, so Graham is saying that he does not support the Republican voters.

Next time he runs for anything, I hope his challenger reminds the people that Graham has already turned his back on them and does not trust them to make good decisions.

"I just hope he doesn’t chose Ms. Haley for V.P."

Do a quick search as I don't have a link handy but Trump already explicitly ruled that out. He said she isn't on the list of those he'll be considering.

Trump is fortunate that Loveable Lindsey won’t back him. I just hope he doesn’t chose Ms. Haley for V.P.

***********************************************************

He has been quoted as saying, she’s not on his list of potentials.

This whole thing about Trump not being a true “conservative” is a smokescreen. Duh, these people supported more liberal candidates (Jeb, Romney, McCain).

Trump should campaign against all their challengers.

“So is he auditioning to be Hillry’s veep?
That is far from being the craziest thought I’ve ever heard.”

Two women on the same ticket?
