"Why will Trump lose the general election? 'Because he's just generally a loser as a person and a candidate,' Graham said. Pressed later about why Trump would lose, Graham raised his voice to make his point: 'Why will he lose???? Because he's ill-suited for the job!!!'" [Washington Post, 2/25/16<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/02/25/peak-lindsey-graham-trump-is-a-nut-job-loser-as-a-person-and-ill-suited-to-be-president/>] Lindsey Graham Said Supporting Trump Or Cruz Is Like "Being Shot Or Poisoned." "The South Carolina Republican, who recently endorsed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush after ending his presidential bid in December, was asked whether he preferred Trump or Cruz as the nominee during a news conference on Capitol Hill. 'It's like being shot or poisoned,' Graham told reporters Thursday in response. 'What does it really matter?'" [Politico, 1/21/16<http://www.politico.com/story/2016/01/lindsey-graham-trump-cruz-choice-218069>] Lindsey Graham Said Trump's Foreign Policies Would "Lead To Another 9/11." "He pointed to former House Speaker John Boehner's comments about his friendly relationship with Trump, and Boehner's dismissal of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump's chief Republican presidential rival, as 'Lucifer in the flesh.' 'There's a civil war going on in the Republican Party, obviously,' Graham said. 'John and I are very close friends, but he's embracing Donald Trump, and I am not. Why? Because I believe Donald Trump's foreign policy is isolationism. It will lead to another 9/11.'" [CNN, 5/1/16<http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/01/politics/lindsey-graham-gop-civil-war/>] Lindsey Graham: Trump Doesn't "Have A Clue About Anything" And Was "Helping The Enemy Of This Nation." "Graham said Trump's rhetoric benefits ISIS in helping them recruit people to their cause. He said having traveled to the Middle East 36 times as a lawmaker and in the Air Force reserve, he knows the troops and diplomats on the front lines are very concerned. 'What Mr. Trump is doing -- and I don't think he has a clue about anything. He's just just trying to get his numbers up and get the biggest reaction he can,' Graham said. 'He is helping the enemy of this nation. He is empowering radical Islam. And if he knew anything about the world at all, you would know that most Muslims reject this ideology.'" [CNN, 12/8/15<http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/08/politics/lindsey-graham-donald-trump-go-to-hell-ted-cruz/>] Lindsey Graham: "ISIL Loves Donald Trump Because He Is Giving Them An Opportunity To Bring People Their Way." "Sen. Lindsey Graham may be languishing in the bottom of GOP presidential primary polls, but on Thursday he delivered a sharp rebuke of his GOP opponents before a Republican Jewish audience. 'The one thing I can tell you is that what Mr. Trump's saying about how to handle this war is empowering the enemy,' Graham said, referring to GOP front-runner Donald Trump's recent assertion that the U.S. should 'go after' the families of terrorists. 'ISIL loves Donald Trump because he is giving them an opportunity to bring people their way,' Graham said during a gathering with reporters following his formal speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition." [CNN, 12/3/15] Lindsey Graham On Picking Donald Trump As GOP Nominee: "For God's Sakes, Pick Somebody Who Is Worthy Of The Sacrifice Of Those Who Are Fighting This War." "GRAHAM: I will support the Republican nominee, whoever he or she may be. Like Bob Dole, I may sleep late that day if it's Trump. But the bottom line, if it's Trump, so be it. That's who I'll support. Please understand we're in a war that we can't afford to lose, and what he said about banning Muslims coming here to America has made us all less safe, and it's the worst possible thing he could do in this war. He clearly doesn't understand this war and how to win it. For God's sakes, pick somebody who is worthy of the sacrifice of those who are fighting this war and who actually knows how to win, and I don't believe that's Mr. Trump, and I know it's not Hillary Clinton." [Republican Presidential Undercard Debate, 12/15/15] +Video News reports that he is privately urging ppl to vote Trump. Time to crank out everything bad he's said about him. Research- can you help? Not urgent, can get this out tomorrow a.m. Can you also flag if there are videos. I think a quick-and-dirty reel of his greatest hits against Trump would be great if a lot of these quotes are on video. Thanks!!
