"Frankly, he isn't ready for the job. I think that Hillary Clinton would do a number on him."

[Miles Archer]

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.

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

1. If he thinks Hillary would do a number on Cruz,

I wonder what he thinks Bernie would do.

Sometimes these Republicans, even the more open minded among them, simplify things too much.

[Thinkingabout]

2. When Lindsay Graham dropped out of the race it left

The GOP without a credible candidate on foreign policy. Graham is very good on foreign policy and could have challenged Hillary on foreign policy. Agree with Graham saying Cruz is lacking and yes Hillary would do a number on Cruz. We need a strong foreign policy president.

5. Why have the words "foreign policy "......

replaced "war" in our politics?

[Cassiopeia]

6. For the same reason we now call it the defense department

instead of the war department.

It gives the illusion that we have a positive roll to play.

[Thinkingabout]

11. There is much more to foreign policy than wars, has been and will be.

[daleanime]

18. Not under another President Clinton.....

pretend otherwise if you must.

[Thinkingabout]

22. Sanders has said he would take military action, said he would use drones, do

you trust what he says?

[daleanime]

24. I disagree with him on that....

but Hillary's view on the subject is even worst then Bernie's.

So we know a spot where I disagree with Bernie, where do you disagree with Hillary?

[Hortensis]

13. Lindsey's a nativist ethnophobic nationalist warmonger.

Good on foreign policy? A man like that should only be allowed in the Oval Office under the observation given visitors. Agree Hillary would do a number on Cruz and Trump, and she may get a chance.

[Thinkingabout]

14. I was talking about his foreign police knowledge, what decisions he would make may not fit

many people's ideas but it does not diminish his knowledge of foreign policy.

[Hortensis]

15. I believe they greatly distort his judgement

And understanding, and also very much his morals.

[Thinkingabout]

23. Yes, morals can enter the equation also.

[pampango]

3. Agreed. As would Bernie. n/t

[TNNurse]

4. I did not think a photo

could make him look worse.....but that one does jut that. I always thought his smirk was the worst but this one appears...oh, what is the word?? Simple minded comes to mind.

And yes, I know we should not judge someone by their appearance but he and the guy with the funny hair (I refuse to type his name) are just too tempting. Please forgive me for my shallow opinion.

[maddiemom]

12. No one should be judged by their face or physical appearance, but....

when that person proves to be a total dickwad, all bets are off.

[bowens43]

7. he would stomp all over hillary in the general election.

[mdbl]

8. The birthers will take care of Ted

They are already harping on his 'being born in Canada'.

[rpannier]

9. Ted Cruz isn't ready to be mulch

Much less President of the USA
I can't think of much he is qualified for
I guess grifter and huckster are what he's over-qualified for

[Cary]

10. Not to defend Cruz

But what is Lindsey Graham ready for?

Did he manage to get 1%?

The Republicans are a mess, and their radical right is dangerous. This is what happens when you allow radicals into your party. The radical right is toxic.

The radical left is worse but fortunately radical leftists aren't Democrats. We don't need them.

[KingCharlemagne]

19. "The radical left is worse"??? Please proceed - nt

[Cary]

20. Oh I will.

Extremists are toxic.

[KingCharlemagne]

21. Please regale us with stories of the last time the

radical left seized government facilities under force of arms.

[Cary]

26. That's not how I measured it

Criminal acts are a different animal. I am referring to politics.

There is no segment of the political spectrum as reviled as the radical left, in my opinion. And there is also no segment that is less relevant.

[KingCharlemagne]

27. I'm taking issue with your original assertion that the radical left "is worse" (presumably

than the radical right), an assertion for which you have supplied neither evidence nor support. So, as I said, please proceed.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Ignore.

[Gothmog]

16. Carnival Cruz is a joke

[LiberalElite]

17. Oh please

please please folks stop including photos of Cruz!! BLEAH!
