In New Hampshire, home of the first primary on the presidential nominating calendar, Trump holds a commanding 18 percent lead over any other candidate in the GOP field.
“If Mr. Trump continues to say what he’s saying, I’d rather lose without him than try to win with him, because he’s in the process of destroying the party”, Graham told hosts Hillary Chabot and Tim Cahill during an appearance on Boston Herald Radio’s “Morning Meeting” program.
