Graham: Trump Is the ‘Michael Moore Candidate of the Republican Party’

STEPHANOPOULOS: “You are also at state of South Carolina. You guys have a big primary coming up this weekend on Saturday. Coming up on a big debate last Saturday. You’re behind Governor Bush, Jeb Bush and his candidacy. But, and you have been leading the charge along with him against Donald Trump. But he still has got a pretty big lead in your state. Can he be stopped in South Carolina?” 
GRAHAM: “Well, all I can say is he become the Michael Moore candidate of the Republican Party. At the end of the day, I don’t know what’s going to happen here. Jeb is definitely surging. Donald Trump will not win the nomination. So, if you want to get a replacement for Justice Scalia, nominate a conservative. One, nominate a conservative, which Trump is not. But also nominate somebody who can win. Donald Trump cannot get 270 electoral votes. What he said about President George W. Bush being a liar and that the Bush administration are the cause of 9/11 is Michael Moore stuff. So, I hope that will bite him a little bit here. And I think it will. But when you add up all the things he’s said and done, he’s unfit to be president of the United States. And if we nominate Donald Trump, we’re giving not only the Supreme Court nominations to the Democrats but control of the government.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “But you’d still support him?” 
GRAHAM: “You know, I got to really re-evaluate that after what he said about George W. Bush. There’s just the kooky people in the world. The mainstream Democratic Party opposition of Bush, didn’t go where Donald Trump went. So, I’ll have to sit down and think about what it means to have someone running as the nominee of the Republican Party to accuse the past president of willfully lying about the facts and circumstances of Iraq and being responsible for 9/11. That’s something that really only comes from the kook part of America.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “Pretty big shift there, Senator. Thanks for joining us this morning.” (Laughter)
GRAHAM: “Thank you.”
