Lindsey Graham says he’s ’91 percent’ sure he’ll run for president

the gop is going to need a CLOWN BUS!

South Carolina polls show Graham behind Scott Walker, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz in his home state.



Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said his decision on whether he'll run for president depends on whether he can raise enough money, but he said there's a "91 percent" chance he will.

"If I can raise the money, I'll do it," he said on "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace." He added, "I think I got a good message, I think I've been more right than wrong on foreign policy. I've criticized the president for leading from behind, being weak and indecisive. I've been a problem solver in Washington, and I think I've got something to offer the party in Washington."

He said he would make a decision by May.

South Carolina polls show Graham behind Scott Walker, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz in his home state. The polls found that 55 percent of South Carolina voters wouldn't vote for him for president.

I'm guessing a "confirmed bachelor" will have an uphill battle with the GOP faithful.

I mean Graham isn't even worth the effort. I'm more of a threat to be nominated by the Republican party.

I'm jealous, not of their candidates but that they are giving their constituents some choices.

I thought that the Democratic party was the party of choice.

It must be a trait that ships a generation.

the government, or there's that fresh faced young middle aged white guy who hates the government.

They don't have a choice, they have the same guy in 37 different outfits.
