Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Friday that he will not support Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee, but that he also refuses to support Hillary Clinton.
"As for me, I absolutely will not support Hillary Clinton for President. She represents the third term of Barack Obama, and our nation cannot afford to continue those failed policies at home or abroad," he said in a Friday afternoon statement. "I also cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative nor has he displayed the judgment and temperament to serve as Commander in Chief."
Graham elaborated on his refusal to get behind Trump as the nominee in a Friday interview on CNN, describing an election between Clinton and Trump as a "race to the bottom."

Now his so called "conscience" will not allow him to honor his pledge.
This does not surprise me.
Trump is fortunate that Loveable Lindsey won’t back him. I just hope he doesn’t chose Ms. Haley for V.P.
rino scumbags planning and conniving for 3rd party run. Ryan, romney, and other scumbags plan to derail Trump one way or the other, this is why ryan refused to back Trump.
Has Lindsey been fasting with Glenn or something?
How would a 3rd party run work? How in the world can they do it at this late date?
The "or something" would not surprise me.
Maybe this will finally get South Carolina to kick him out.
Sounds like Linda is angry enough to scratch Trump’s eyes out!! Since when has Linda been an arbiter of who is conservative??
That is far from being the craziest thought I've ever heard.
Most politicians spend their careers breaking the promises they made during their campaigns.
A “pledge” is worthless.
Where the. is Brett Baier now with his prick question, “will you support the nominee”?
Ahhh, is someone butt-hurt because Trump said he wasn’t going to consider him for V.P.
He’s in the closet still - just come out, be truthful, admit you’re a rainbow coalition Democrat. And, a cementhead.
So Lindsay Graham is taking a “principled conservative” stand?
What a stupid asswipe.
‘Or something’.
If Graham supported Trump then I would begin to worry.
Yhey won’t need to siphon that many votes to hand it to Hillary. They’re not trying to win, just defeat Trump.
