"I would. I would just send the Russians the most unequivocal signal I could send them," the awful South Carolina Republican tells The Hill.

How bad is this idea? Even Sen. Graham's partner in saber-rattling, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), isn't buying it:

"There's many things we can do, but I think the experience of cancelling the Olympics the last time around wasn't very good," McCain said.
