I don't know who makes me sicker – the Democrats or the Republican establishment.
There was Sen. Lindsey Graham last weekend saying there's only one person Donald Trump can beat in the general election – Satan.
"I think Lucifer may be the only person Trump can beat in a general election," Graham said on CBS' "Face The Nation" in an interview.
I mean, who does Graham think Trump will be running against assuming he gets the nomination?
This comes, by the way, after another prominent member of the GOP establishment club, former House Speaker John Boehner, last week called Sen. Ted Cruz, runner-up for the Republican presidential nomination, "Lucifer in the flesh."

These are the Republicans who have been running Congress for the last eight years – watching, I might add, a Democratic president run roughshod over them at every turn, shredding the Constitution, racking up trillions more in debt, decapitating the military, building an imperial presidency and making a mockery of the so-called "opposition."
Now we know without a doubt: Republican establishment types like Graham and Boehner and Mitch McConnell are much more comfortable with Obama than they will be with Trump or anyone else who doesn't belong to the club.
And what is the Republican club?
It's one that is gleefully satisfied with being in leadership of a party that is gutless, is content with doing nothing and, if they have their way, never will.
To say they brought on the pitchforks the party faces from the electorate this year is an understatement. The rank-and-file voters finally figured out there's little difference between the establishment of the two parties – other than the fact that one seeks to win and the other is just fine with playing second fiddle, if it means they retain the perks of office.
Republican voters watched in horror during eight years of George W. Bush's "Democrat light" policies and then eight years of Barack Obama's scorched-earth campaign against any and all opposition in his bid for one-party rule.
They saw what the Republicans had to offer for president – another Bush and some others who sought, overtly or covertly, to keep the borders open – and they chose as the top two contenders Trump and Cruz.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is on her way to the Democratic presidential nomination, and no one has laid a glove on her yet. The Republicans are too busy fighting each other – all of them, establishment and non-establishment alike.
This is not good.
Tell me one policy difference between Lucifer and Hillary Clinton.
But some of these Republican establishment types have actually hinted that they might support Hillary – or at least might go for "none of the above."
I'll say what I have said countless times before. As someone who supported Ted Cruz, I will vote for the Republican nominee.
Why?
Because America faces an existential threat should Hillary win.
I'm not kidding.
It's amazing to me we've survived two terms of Obama – barely. I would have predicted the total collapse of the economy by now, or something even worse.
But we have survived to fight another day.
And here's the good news: In January 2017, we have a chance of reversing much of the damage that was inflicted on us in the last eight years.
As president, Donald Trump can be expected to do the following:
- Sign the repeal of Obamacare;
- Build a wall on the southern border;
- Clamp down on illegal immigration;
- Halt the flood of Muslim refugees;
- Rebuild the military for the 21st century to prevent future wars and acts of terrorism;
- Reinstate the free market system to revive our economy.
That's enough for me – for now.
