Graham: Better for GOP lose election than 'heart and soul' with Trump

By Dan Friedman

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that winning the 2016 presidential election should take a back seat to stopping Donald Trump from destroying the Republican Party by becoming its presidential nominee.

"We can lose an election, but I don't want us to lose our heart and soul," Graham said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation." "If we nominate Donald Trump, and he carries the banner of the Republican Party, given who he is and what he said about immigrants, about Muslims and young women, we will not just lose the election. We have lost the heart and soul of the conservative movement. That's what is at stake."

Graham, who made little headway in his own presidential bid last year, is working to help Sen. Ted Cruz capture the Republican nomination. The South Carolinian differs with Cruz on many issues, but argues Texas Republican is worth supporting to stop Trump.

"Donald Trump would be an absolute disaster for the Republican party, destroy conservatism as we know it," Graham said. "We would get wiped out."

My Thoughts:
These idiots like Graham are so very afraid of their status in Washington being torn asunder by Trump; they would rather have Hillary as president, because if she gets in, everything will stay the same. The lobbyist’s on K Street will continue to bribe the Senators and Congressman just like they have been doing for years; the very idea of Trump becoming President scares the ever living sh!t out of them.

The "heart and soul" of the Republican Party was lost, long ago. If our elected Republicans would dare to show some spine, if they would dare to act like they believe in the things that they say, then the atmosphere that created the Trump phenomenon would not exist. The Republican establishment has only themselves to blame.
