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."

“How would a 3rd party run work? How in the world can they do it at this late date?”

You can bet that the RATs would “facilitate” going around any laws preventing it!
Harry Reid would get a four hour erection over this!

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

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

He can’t, that’s why Trump is gonna drop out any day now.

They won't need to siphon that many votes to hand it to hillary

THEY HELP OUR CAUSE!! It's a very persuasive selling point to Sanders supporters and independents that the GOP globalist backstabbing elite prefer hillary to Trump. Their non-endorsement is the best endorsement Trump can have!

Time to clean out the DC garbage, both political parties.

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

He has already addressed that she was -never- under consideration for VP. Rejoice!

Interesting that Graham is ok with Cruz (he endorsed him) but not Trump.

Actually, we’re seeing the attempted overthrow of America rise to the surface. Finally to be seen in the clear light of day is the submarine of subversion forced to the surface by Trump’s Depth Charges. They’re Done for, one way or the other.

Exactly—these neocon and Establishment hissy fits are the best advertisement possible for Trump making himself acceptable to independents, moderates, and conservative Democrats.

Maybe this will finally get South Carolina to kick him out.

As posted on FR countless times prior to this:

The SC Primary is rigged so that the Columbia Uniparty can choose which Republicans and/or Democrats it wishes for the chief offices and can easily manipulate the SC voters in several ways. Plenty of posting history about this subject in FR archives.

During the first debate all 17 were asked to indicate whether or not they would support the republican nominee ... no matter who it was. It was a gotcha question for Trump at the time. Graham, among others who are now backing off from Trump, was - and is - a lying POS.

Graham has no conscience. He is a swarmy pathetic ass who should face a reelection challenger and hopefully we will never hear his voice again.

The beauty of Trump is he has fully exposed the Uniparty. May they all rot in hell. Traitors

I was talking to Jim DeMint the other day for 10 minutes.

Did you ask Jim if he would accept the party's nod as Trump's running mate?

If Trump is nominee for those that do not support him are voting for the communists corrupt empire of Hillary. Lindsey Graham is a communists supporter.

Trump for President.

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

Like the purloined letter, Cruz’s actual loyalties are hidden in plain sight, and overlooked by most.
