There's a big difference between somebody saying that who will never be given the chance to act on his promise, and somebody saying that who has actually been elected and is talking about what he plans to do with the power he has.

Even by Republic standards, Lindsey Graham is on the crazy end of the spectrum. Luckily, there's almost zero chance anyone would put him anywhere near any power.

Other than, you know, a position in the US Senate.
