Among the handful of lines that will be remembered from the “undercard” GOP debate Wednesday evening will certainly be Lindsey Graham’s fiery promise to “kill every one of these bastards” in ISIS.
Graham just promised to "kill every one of these bastards we can find" regarding ISIS. #CNNDebate

This certainly wasn’t the lethargic Lindsey Graham who appeared at the first debate, and it was a nice surprise for those expecting to nap through CNN’s broadcast.
Lindsey Graham learned his lesson and had some coffee before this debate.

It’s as if before the first debate, Lindsey Graham had a glass of Riesling. Before this debate, he had four shots of espresso.

I'm so happy someone introduced Graham to caffeine

Lindsey Graham — "This time, I remembered my caffeine pills!"

Graham must have had some caffeine in his Mr. Pibbs before this debate.

It looks like Graham decided to cut his valium with a sip of coffee today.

Graham probably the most improved undercard candidate, having shaken off the quaaludes that hampered him in debate #1.

Graham is having a very strong debate. I mean, if it mattered.
