Making Russia Great Again – ‘Donald Trump’s Campaign Stands By Embrace of Putin’

“I think it’s inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack Obama has been in this country,” Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, Mr. Trump’s running mate, said on CNN.

“Other than destroying every instrument of democracy in his own country, having opposition people killed, dismembering neighbors through military force and being the benefactor of the butcher of Damascus, he’s a good guy. This calculation by Trump unnerves me to my core.”

— Sen. Lindsey Graham, quoted by Politico, on Donald Trump’s embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Making Donald Trump Great – ‘Quote of the Day

Donald Trump – The Ugly American

“There used to be some things that were sacred in American politics, that you don’t do, like criticizing the parents of a fallen soldier, even if they criticize you. If you’re going to be leader of the free world, you have to be able to accept criticism, and Mr. Trump can’t.”

— Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), quoted by the New York Times, adding that “unacceptable” doesn’t even begin to describe Donald Trump’s behavior’.

7 Fricking years of this defund, delay, repeal crap.

‘However, should the attempt to de-fund the embassy fail, both Graham and other Republicans have vowed to block the confirmation of any nominee the President taps to serve as the first ambassador to Cuba since the 1950s’.

Because….well….Obama.

And now war hawk Lindsey Graham :

Because 50 years of embargo was this close to working. Just another 30….40 years tops and Cuba would have given in.

‘When President Obama announced a negotiated end to the nearly six decade impasse with Cuba, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) fired off a statement saying if he is elected president in 2016, he will reverse the move and shut down the newly reopened embassy’.

‘Then, this week, Graham attempted to prevent the Havana embassy from opening at all’.

‘As the Senate debated the $49 billion dollar appropriations bill that covers the State Department and U.S. foreign aid to the entire globe, he introduced an amendment to block the modest funding needed to open a U.S. embassy in Havana, Cuba’.

‘But the measure died when all Democrats and the majority of Republicans on the Foreign Relations sub-committee refused to support it’.

‘Graham has vowed to try again when the full committee looks at the bill’.

‘A msnbc/Telemundo/Marist poll this April found that 59 percent of Americans, including 56 percent of Latinos, approved of the U.S.’ diplomatic recognition of Cuba’.
