WASHINGTON -- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) still isn't sure which candidate he'll back in the GOP primary for president, but it won't be Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
"Ted's smart, but I think that Hillary Clinton would do a number on him," Graham told Fox News radio host Brian Kilmeade on Friday.
Graham, who dropped his own presidential bid late last month, has said that challenging Cruz -- as well as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) -- was one of the main reasons he launched his campaign in the first place. He has called Cruz an extremist for being willing to shut down the federal government, and he has criticized Cruz's foreign policy approach.
"Frankly, he isn't ready for the job. His foreign policy is very uneven," Graham said of Cruz on Friday.

Sometimes these Republicans, even the more open minded among them, simplify things too much.

(17,796 posts)but Hillary's view on the subject is even worst then Bernie's.
So we know a spot where I disagree with Bernie, where do you disagree with Hillary?

(6,911 posts)could make him look worse.....but that one does jut that. I always thought his smirk was the worst but this one appears...oh, what is the word?? Simple minded comes to mind.
And yes, I know we should not judge someone by their appearance but he and the guy with the funny hair (I refuse to type his name) are just too tempting. Please forgive me for my shallow opinion.

Did he manage to get 1%?
The Republicans are a mess, and their radical right is dangerous. This is what happens when you allow radicals into your party. The radical right is toxic.
The radical left is worse but fortunately radical leftists aren't Democrats. We don't need them.

There is no segment of the political spectrum as reviled as the radical left, in my opinion. And there is also no segment that is less relevant.
