Lindsey Graham has been on my DO NOT LIKE list since day one. He’s preachy, whiny and lacks substance. He’s a true RINO if I ever saw one.
He announced his candidacy on June 1, but his campaign has failed to gain traction. No one likes him. (Although I once got an email from someone who wanted to host a Graham house party, and I laughed for three hours straight. OK, I’m exaggerating. It was two hours.)
Anyway, Graham is frustrated. Everyone has been talking about Ben Carson’s rise in the recent Iowa polls, and in those same polls, poor ol’ Graham is averaging 0 percent.
Here’s a visual for you:
He cannot believe it. He’s doesn’t know why he’s losing to man who is “crazy as hell” and another who tried to stab someone as a teenager.
“On our side, you’ve got the No. 2 guy, tried to kill somebody at 14, and the No. 1 is high energy and crazy as hell,’ Graham said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Carson hasn’t been shy about his past. He’s honest. During an interview on “Meet the Press” he said, “As a teenager, I would go after people with rocks, and bricks, and baseball bats, and hammers. And, of course, many people know the story when I was 14 and I tried to stab someone.”
“You know, fortunately, you know, my life has been changed,” Carson added. “And I’m a very different person now.”
His life is an open book and a testament to the American dream. But Graham and liberal media outlets are freaking out. Heck, check out this Daily Kos headline.
Homicidal maniac. Funny, teenage Carson sounds like someone the #BlackLivesMatter crowd would take under their wings. Why is that behavior bad now? I’m confused.
Graham said he’s never tried to murder anyone, so that “should move me up a little bit.”
In addition to Carson, Graham said Donald Trump doesn’t know anything about ISIS (we’re supposed to feel better imagining Graham handling that little situation) and Marco Rubio’s stance on abortion is far too extreme, which makes him unelectable.
Graham believes Jeb Bush is a “very viable candidate” though. (Hopefully that’s his campaign’s kiss of death.)
“How am I losing to these guys?” Graham asked.
Nobody likes you. That’s why you’re losing. Scrape the rest of your dignity off the floor and exit the race immediately. I think that’s the best option here.
