Lindsey Graham Poised To Climb Into GOP Clown Car
Read Time:1 Minute, 38 Second
Well, the Republicans are going to need a bigger car if the clowns keep piling into it. Now it sounds ike Sen. Lindsey Graham is pretty much in for Election 2016, but you’ll have to wait until June 1 to find out for sure.
The hosts of CBS This Morning noted that the senator, a guest today, has said there’s a “99.9% chance” he’ll run for president, and Graham said he’ll announce June 1 in South Carolina.
He was then asked if he’s running because he thinks he’s bringing foreign policy experience to the table, and he responded: “I’m running because of what you see on television. I’m running because I think the world is falling apart.
I’ve been more right than wrong on foreign policy. It’s not the fault of others, or their lack of this or that, that makes me want to run; it’s my ability in my own mind to be a good commander-in-chief and to make Washington work.”
As for that “99.9%” comment, Graham made it to South Carolina House Republicans last week, the State reported. “And I’m going to run about what I’m going to do, not what I’m against,” he told a caucus meeting. The week prior, Graham told BuzzFeed he was “98.6% sure” he would run.
In addition Politico reported earlier this month that Graham was likely to announce a presidential run June 1 from South Carolina, noting that the location “would enable the GOP senator to highlight a compelling personal story not widely known outside his home state.”
MSNBC notes that Graham emailed supporters yesterday with this line: “As an announcement draws near, I need to know you stand with me,” and an invitation to donate money.
