With Lindsey Graham Out – Where Will John McCain Turn in 2016?

“With Senator Lindsey Graham’s announcement, Republicans lost our most qualified, thoughtful, fearless and honest presidential candidate, not to mention the candidate with the best (and it seemed sometimes the only) sense of humor,” McCain said in a statement after Graham’s announcement, lamenting that the “bifurcated debate structure” kept the South Carolina senator from reaching a wider audience.

Vegas Debate: No-Fly Zones, Regime Change, and Other Shattered Illusions
