Senator Lindsey Graham Disagrees With His Good Friend Senator John McCain On Ted Cruz�s Qualifications To Run For President
�I just want to say I think Ted is qualified to run for President of the United States. I think he is a natural born citizen.�
—Lindsey Graham on whether Ted Cruz is qualified to run for president.
Senator Lindsey Graham called into Kilmeade & Friends to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Ted Cruz�s eligibility to run for president, dropping out of the race, his thoughts on the two tiered GOP debates, whether or not he still believes Donald Trump is indeed coach-able when it comes to foreign policy and the latest on North Korea.
Listen here:
Graham on Ted Cruz�s eligibility to run for president
Graham: I just want to say I think Ted is qualified to run for president of the United States. I think he is a natural born citizen
Brian: You do? Because John McCain is not sure
Graham: Well I am sure. Whether I am right or not, I believe that to be so. I don�t want Ted to be the nominee, I don�t dislike Ted but I don�t think that issue disqualifies him.
Brian: Are you surprised it�s being brought up now?
Graham: No, not by Trump.
Brian: Why are you laughing?
Graham: Because I thought it was pretty clever on his part actually.
Graham on dropping out and his thoughts on the two tiered GOP debates
Graham: I was proud of the effort. Without getting on the big stage, it�s almost impossible to break through. The under-card debates last for about an hour and I could never get on the big stage and that was frustrating. If I had a chance to do that I think I may have had a different outcome.
Graham on if Trump is still coach-able on foreign policy
Graham: Yeah, he seems to be willing to listen to things. He is not set in concrete. Yeah, I hope he will listen, not just to me. If I were advising Donald Trump I would say spend a half day with General Jack Keane, he will bring you up to speed in what we need to do.
