Graham: Choosing Between Trump and Cruz ‘Like Being Shot or Poisoned’

Republican senator and former 2016 candidate Lindsey Graham isn’t a fan of either of the Iowa frontrunners, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Graham made that perfectly clear during a Capitol Hill press conference Thursday when asked which candidate he preferred. “It’s like being shot or poisoned,” Graham responded. “What does it really matter?”

“Donald Trump, I think, is the most unprepared person I’ve ever met to be commander-in-chief,” he continued. “And when it comes to Sen. Cruz, he’s exhibited behavior in his time in the Senate that make it impossible for me to believe that he could bring this country together.”

Graham saved some of his vitriol for the other party, saying Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was “by far the most liberal person to ever offer themselves as a candidate in a serious fashion for president of the United States.”
