Lindsey Graham Presides Over Ted Cruz Murder Trial

UPDATE – I know, I know. Everyone outside of South Carolina thought we’d heard the last from Sen. Lindsey Graham for a while.

But he’s still out there entertaining the handful of people who don’t get the sudden urge to run for a porcelain receptacle when they hear his name.

And this time he’s suggesting a way to get rid of his nemesis Ted Cruz, once and for all.

The Blaze:

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham aimed some jabs at the remaining GOP presidential candidates Thursday evening as he rebuked his party for going “bats**t crazy.”

While speaking at the Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner, Graham playfully threw insults at his former challengers for the GOP nomination while they appeared at the Republican debate in Houston, Texas. Graham, who had announced his bid for the 2016 presidential election in June 2015, dropped out of the race in December.

During his appearance at the dinner, Graham began his remarks by indicating that he’d like a stool to stand on so he could “be like Trump — huge!”

He then went on to criticize Democratic contender Hillary Clinton, saying that there is a good chance she could become president because his “party has gone bats**t crazy.”

“A good Republican would defend Ted Cruz after tonight. That ain’t happening,” Graham continued. “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you.” … [read it all]

And then jokes about the assassination of a conservative Republican on the U.S. Senate floor as though the very thought of such a thing is not reprehensible.

And he wonders why his “party has gone bats**t crazy”?
