Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doubled down on his criticism of fellow presidential candidate Donald Trump during an interview Thursday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.”

Graham was adamant that Trump will not win the Republican nomination.

“I don’t think you’re going to elect a man President of the United States who is a birther,” Graham said. “I don’t believe you’re going to elect a man President of the United States who spent thousands of his own dollars, he claims, trying to find out if Obama was born in Kenya. I don’t think you’re going to elect a man President of the United States who basically said most illegal immigrants are drug dealers and rapists (and) who slandered veterans like John McCain.”

Trump isn’t “marketable” and would be the end of the GOP’s chances in 2016, according to Graham.

Watch the interview below. The Trump comments start at the 6:00 mark:

    GrahamCracker’s wishful thinking again.

  3. American wouldn’t elect Trump, but wow would the dimwit teabaggers and old Confederacy worshipers turn out in droves to vote for him.

  4. Republicans would take Birther over a black guy, any time. There will be record republican turnout if that was the case.

  5. Clowns usually hit each other with slapsticks to make the crowd laugh. But these guys seem to be aiming for each others’ balls.
