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."

Let Kristol sign up to be “president,” and Fred Barnes for his “VP!” Now that would be a fitting end for their “newspaper.”

we’re seeing the attempted overthrow of America rise to the surface

Yup, it's like Palpatine's plot to take over the Republic got exposed a little too early, before they were ready to swoop in.

If he is, he is wrong on both counts. (a) he is not principled [he has no principles]. (b) He is no Conservative.

One thing these anti-Trumpsters are forgetting is that turnabout is fair play. The ball is in their court to act humble, noble and supportive rather then self-serving, demeaning and contemptuous to the rest of us. They will set standard for our future behavior toward them.

for a so called Republican to say that they would not vote for a democratic president, something’s very wrong with this person. in summary, Lindsey Graham is a poor loser and he supports Hussein obama agenda as much as the rest OF the GOP. I hope the GOP spends $80 million on an anti-Lindsey pac like they did on Trump

So Lindsay Graham is taking a “principled conservative” stand?
What a stupid asswipe.


I'll bet that pansy wouldn't even give someone the common courtesy of a reach-around either.

Great question !!!

Yes I did! And, before I did I predicted to my cynical friends his answer. His answer was the expected Jim Demint super smart guy answer which was “yes, looks like Trump is going to be the nominee and we are going to be helping him any way and every way we can. He went on to say later that he would be meeting with him in a few days.

Interestingly, Demint is a diminutive man. I would say 5’6 maybe and about 145. Very easy to talk to and very smart.

And all this time, because of TV and my never having stood next to him, I thought he was taller than my 6'1".

Thank you for your posts.

Lindsey is the perfect third-party candidate for Bill Kristol and Milt and all the other sphincters to support.

Thank you!

Yes, I truly was surprised too. LOL, the first time my eyes fell on him about 10 feet away where he was talking to several others in our group, I said, a little incredulously to my friend...........”that’s Jim Demint”?

Was a GREAT guy and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him about 10-20 minutes or so.
