Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) said during an interview with CNN on Tuesday that if real estate mogul Donald Trump wins the party’s nomination, it will be the end of the GOP.
“If Donald Trump is the nominee, that’s the end of the Republican Party,” Graham said.
Graham was defending his dismal numbers in his home state of South Carolina, where the latest poll showed him earning 4 percent of likely Republican primary voters to Trump’s 30 percent.
Graham continued his attack, criticizing Trump’s lack of military and foreign policy experience.
“He’s shallow. He’s ill-prepared to be commander in chief,” the retired Air Force colonel told CNN. “He’s a complete idiot when it comes to Mideast policy.”
Graham said “common sense” will win out, but until then, “Our soldiers deserve better.”
Graham said that Trump’s views on immigrants and women do not reflect the modern Republican party.
The Republican party has sown the wind and, thus, they will reap the whirlwind. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that we will all be destroyed.
[[Edit: I can’t even begin to fathom how well and truly fucked we would be if America’s voters were actually nihilistic enough to elect Donald Trump as our President.]]
“If Donald Trump is the nominee, that’s the end of the Republican Party,” Graham said.
And this would be a bad thing??
The feel of schadenfruede at the establishment Rs’ meager, mumbling complaining about Trump’s rise is more delicious than I had anticipated. Lindsey: you do not get to define what is the GOP. The polls don’t lie. You and yours, along with Fox news, have enabled and encouraged the low-information shambling mound of the GOP base. Any number of good idioms to choose from to describe your plight, but one will suffice: You made that bed, now lie down in it.
Graham and his fellow GOPers should have thought about that before unleashing the Tea Party on the country and pandering to their lunacy. Trump is just the logical conclusion of this idiocy.
Graham said that Trump’s views on immigrants and women perfectly reflect the modern Republican party.
FTFY, Lindsey.
