Many on Twitter have called Tuesday night’s GOP undercard debate one of the most quotable so far, with Lindsey Graham providing some of the best material, including a reference to “The Princess Bride” that went over a lot of reporter’s heads. Asked how he would deal with the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin, for example, Graham had a unique take:

Some out-of-context Lindsey Graham quotes:
"Bring on the virgins."
“I’m not afraid of a guy riding around on a horse with his shirt off"

Has there ever been a candidate with more funny lines and fewer votes than Lindsay Graham?

@greggutfeld @DanaPerino @LindseyGrahamSC I think he's been drinking the CNN kool aid they offered for refreshment before debate. He's kooky
