South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham instructed David Gregory on Meet the Press Sunday morning that any speak of GOP candidates for the 2016 presidential race was moot if the celebration didn’t make stronger its electoral probabilities by means of passing the Gang of Eight’s overhaul of the immigration device.
“If we don’t move immigration reform,” Graham mentioned, “if we don’t get it off the desk in an affordable, practical method, it doesn’t topic who you run in 2016. We’re in a demographic dying spiral as a party, and the only technique to get back in the good graces with the Hispanic neighborhood, in my view, is to cross comprehensive immigration reform. In the event you don’t do that, it actually doesn’t topic who run in my view.”
Which isn’t to claim Graham doesn’t have a favourite candidate.
“I might suggest a guy like Jeb Bush would have a in reality good chance in 2016,” Graham mentioned. “A former governor or a governor. But you got Marco, you bought Paul Ryan. The good news is we now have a deep bench, and after eight years of President Obama’s financial insurance policies—and, reasonably frankly foreign policy—persons are going to be looking round.”
