Acting like a Hillary Clinton spokesman on Tuesday’s Good Morning America, ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos pressed newly-announced Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham on possibly supporting Clinton in the 2016 election: “Rand Paul is tying the Senate up in knots right now....I know you’ve been worried about his take on national security. So, if he prevails over you and the other candidates, who would you support for commander-in-chief? Rand Paul or Hillary Clinton?”

While Graham still expressed reservations about Paul’s foreign policy stances, the South Carolina Senator replied: “Well, when I came out of my coma, I would support Rand Paul. I mean, it would be devastating, I think, to our party to nominate Rand Paul as our nominee, on national security in particular, but if he wins the primary process I will support him.”
