Lindsey Graham wants Trump to nominate Cruz for Supreme Court

Posted by | November 11, 2016 14:47 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Let’s hope Donald Trump doesn’t reward Lindsey Graham here.

The president-elect will likely enter office with an open seat on the court after Republicans refused to hold hearings for President Barack Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, to replace the late Antonin Scalia.


Graham urged his Democratic colleagues not to obstruct the process for Trump, reported WYFF-TV.

“I’m here to tell my Democratic colleagues that I voted for Obama’s nominees,” Graham said. “I expect them to give Trump’s nominees a fair shake. He won this election. He will pick a conservative. I would put Ted Cruz on that list.”

Trump floated the idea of nominating Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Cruz’s closest friend in the Senate, just hours before the Texas Republican offered a surprise endorsement of his bitter primary rival.

    If Trump wants civil war, sure, go for it. America is now divided and needs healing. To create more division is to undermine our country and is close to treason.

      Treason was committed way before this new revelation when Rump and his Russian comrades probably helped swing the election…

      That was only a possibility if Hillary would have won. Now it won’t happen.

    Fortunately, Trump and Graham are not on speaking terms.

      That doesn’t mean he won’t take his suggestion.

  12. fahvel November 12th, 2016 at 06:16

    are these people out of their minds???????

  13. Maxx44 November 13th, 2016 at 15:36

    No, Graham, you did not vote for Obama’s nominees. I believe there’s a nominee for an open seat that you scum buckets on the right wouldn’t even give a hearing. And Cruz? You are completely unhinged.
