Donald Trump talked endlessly about his standing in the polls ahead of his second-place finish in Iowa, and cable news networks used Trump’s standing in the polls to justify massive coverage of Trump. But the polls didn’t deliver Monday night in Iowa, and former Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham says “I want my money back. This is ridiculous.”
In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Graham said using polling to determine which candidates get covered–and which ones get a key spot on the prime time debate stage–just isn’t working. “Let me tell you about polling. I got knocked out of the main stage because of these pollsters,” Graham said. “These are the guys that were telling who should be in the debate? Please.”
