This is not a link to any article but I am getting the impression the Republicans who support wars and increasing the military's budget and the so called hawk mentality are really freaked out over Rand Paul and the only reason Graham is running is to make sure that Paul does not win Republican voters over to his side. Graham, was actually seen as sort of a less vocal hawk a few years ago. His current tough guy persona seems fake - like he was hired to play a part by a lobby group.

Exactly how is Graham supposed to affect Paul's primary performance?

Am I to believe that Paul's supporters' second choice is Graham? That Graham's profound, thought-provoking statements will win hearts and minds? Please. This idiot is more in the Giuliani "muh terrorists!" mold.

It works like on Freerepublic - when you go against the grain you get a few people that follow you around and denounce you and it is a very effective technique. For some reason American conservatives seem to be more group thinking than commies. It is all about ideological purity, party orthodoxy and tamping down dissent. God forbid anyone mentions the failins of the 5 year plan (in this case how the interventionist ideology caused the debacle in the middle east).

That would be true if only those two were in the race, but that is not nearly true,.

I have come to the same conclusion long before this post,

Graham knows he has no chance of winning this, he just is trying to get Republican primary voters to reject Paul.

I saw Graham in a clip praising Hillary's hawkishness and dissing Paul.

He made it obvious.
