http://plnami.blob.core.windows.net/...2014/10/LG.jpgSouth Carolina GOP Senator Lindsey Graham is thinking about running for president.
Graham told The Weekly Standard in a lengthy interview that he isn’t crazy about other potential Republican candidates’ positions and that he’s been encouraged by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to consider entering the race for the GOP presidential nomination.
“I’ve strongly encouraged him to give it a look,” McCain told the Standard. “I think Lindsey has vast and deep experience on these issues that very few others have. I happen to like a lot of these guys — I like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie. Ted Cruz has gone out of his way to tell people how much he agrees with me on national security.”
Not sure why McCain felt the need to throw a wacko bird into that mix.
Graham said he is interested in a presidential run, once his Senate campaign is in the bag. He’s fed up with President Obama’s inscrutable foreign policy, and he thinks he is capable of repairing the damage the next president will inherit from the current one.
“If I get through my general election, if nobody steps up in the presidential mix, if nobody’s out there talking — me and McCain have been talking — I may just jump in to get to make these arguments,” he said.
