Lindsey Graham for president thread.

As a South Carolinian, I will.

Not that I’m crying, get me. But at least he was trying to be an adult in the room. See how far THAT got him.

Seriously. Seems like anyone with even a hint of “moderate” in their message is brushed aside, while a “no-compromises” extremist like Cruz gains ground. I guess this is what the primaries are all about.

Lindsey Graham is done.

Will anyone notice?

Deadspin certainly noticed. Bonus spittle against Pubs, Politicos included.

He’s now endorsed Jeb!, not that anyone was asking: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/15/politics/lindsey-graham-jeb-bush-endorsement/index.html

Actually, it is pretty significant. As Mother Jones points out,

The Bush campaign and Graham both seem to think South Carolina can “reset this race,” as Graham said during his endorsement. If Bush can survive Iowa and do well in New Hampshire, a win in South Carolina would give him a plausible chance of emerging as the mythical GOP mainstream consensus candidates. And, as the Washington Post pointed out, “Graham is a savvy pol, a talented spokesman with a real statewide organization.”

Doesn’t mean much nationally, but if Bush is still hanging around when SC comes, Graham could do for Bush what Crist did for McCain.
