Lindsey Graham: 'Hillary Clinton Would Do A Number' On Ted Cruz

"Frankly, he isn't ready for the job."

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.

Last month, Graham said that by opposing U.S. involvement early on in the Syrian crisis, the Texas senator "has done more to allow ISIL to gain a foothold in Syria than any senator other than Rand Paul."

"Frankly, he isn't ready for the job. His foreign policy is very uneven," Graham said of Cruz on Friday.

The South Carolina senator did have praise for some of his other former competitors, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (he has a "terrific foreign policy"), Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush....

"Ted's smart, but I think that Hillary Clinton would do a number on him,"

Where's that GIF with the rather attractive girl mouthing "Oh sure".

A national debate champion in full control of his faculties versus an old lady apparently suffering long term effects from a concussion which her own aides admit leave her "confused" from time to time. South Carolina, you can do better than this.

Its saddens me that so many here at FR seem to think that name calling and being a general ass equals winning debates. All that does is anger the opposition and doesn’t budge the needle.

Winning a debate means presenting a rational argument and proving your point and actually changing a few minds.

NOTICE: It isn’t a coincidence that McCain and his pet poodle, Lindsey, are attacking Cruz. They have lots to lose if Cruz is elected POTUS and exposes them for the crooks they are!!! That’s why most in congress are scared sh*tless of Cruz!

Go, Ted, GO!

I don’t think you can get a second hand drunk no matter how heavy the booze breath she emits is. What else is the old alcoholic going to do to Ted without having another stroke?

Ted Cruz has made it very clear that he intends to see the DC scandals investigated fully no matter where the trail leads and to their conclusion with full prosecution without regard for the parties involved.

McCain and Graham have a lot to worry about.

Who else has Ted left stammering like a moron.

Name one example of where Ted had engaged in war-like politics.

I like Ted and would certainly support him if he wins the nomination...but he has hidden behind Trump's apron throughout this campaign.

Cruz will mop the floor with Hillary.

Does Lindsey really believe Hillary knows Defense better that Ted?

Without the (R) behind her name you’d never have a clue that Linda is allegedly a Republican.

There’s a bunch of posters on this forum that would destroy Hillary in a debate.

Maybe but I would never underestimate her.

I do know she won’t be defeated by name calling or shouting. Its going to take solidly provable detailed facts and data.
