Excerpted from The Hill: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is warning the Republican Party that its chances of winning the White House in 2016 will be “almost non-existent” if it does not at leasts take a step toward immigration reform.

Graham, who has floated a presidential run himself, was a supporter of the immigration reform bill that passed the Senate last year.

“If we don’t at least make a down payment on solving the problem and rationally dealing with the 11 million [people in the country illegally], if we become the party of self-deportation in 2015 and 2016, then the chance of winning the White House I think is almost non-existent,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview posted Sunday.

Graham also called for a measure to help the “DREAMers,” who are people brought to the U.S. illegally as children. President Obama took executive action in 2012 to grant such people legal status, and then expanded his actions to include more people after the midterm elections.

“If the Republican Party cannot muster the political courage to deal with the DREAM Act children in a fair and balanced way after we secure our border, that says a a lot about the Republican Party’s future regarding the Hispanic community,” Graham said. “I don’t believe most Americans would fault the Republican Party if we allowed children who have been here since they’re babies to assimilate into society with a pathway to citizenship after we secure our borders.”

Asked if he would seek the presidency, Graham demurred, but did tout his credentials.

“I think over the last several years, I’ve been more right than wrong when it comes to foreign policy, and the next president of the United States has got a world on fire that they must deal with and reestablish ourselves as the hope for freedom,” he said. Keep reading

As soon as The Titanic struck the iceberg and its watertight compartments were breached, the mighty ship's fate was sealed. It was GOING to sink. The question was not IF - it was WHEN.

Likewise, the country in my opinion has struck the proverbial iceberg. Elections have about as much to do with solving the problem of a corrupt to the core political system as painting the bulkheads would have had on the doomed Titanic.

So bring on Jeb Bush!
Bring on Gomer/Goober Lindsey Graham!
Bring on common core! Bring on the illegals!

Heck - let's go all out and have Zero the First for a third term. After all, he still has more golfing to do!

Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

Sounds like Lindsey is a fan of Goebbels.

Lindsey may be a fan, but unlike the good Doctor, he doesn't have the brain.
