Graham: Clinton would crush Trump, Cruz
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is warning that the GOP’s two leading presidential candidates do not stand a chance against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton this fall.
"I hope we can give some momentum to someone other than Sen. Cruz and Mr. Trump. Fine folks, but I think Hillary Clinton would clean their clock," Graham told South Carolina news station WLTX Fox19 on Friday.
Graham, who recently dropped his own presidential bid, has been a vocal critic of GOP presidential rivals Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, who are in a neck-and-neck race in next month’s Iowa caucuses.
Graham has been particularly tough on Trump, who he recently said is “is destroying the Republican Party's chance at winning an election,” while also making clear that he does not consider Cruz a politically viable alternative.
"Ted's smart, but I think that Hillary Clinton would do a number on him," Graham said in another interview on Friday, with Fox News radio host Brian Kilmeade.
Graham had praise for nearly every other GOP candidate, from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. He had particularly strong praise for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
"I like Jeb a lot," he said. "Don't write Jeb Bush off."
