Let's Talk About Lindsey Graham

[Rotadom]

First of all, his first name is Lindsey.
Secondly, his middle name is Olin.

Now that is out of the way, let's talk about his spinelessness and hypocrisy.

Olin on Trump

Graham: Trump a 'race-baiting, xenophobic religious ...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on FOX just now: "My opponent will raise $100 million ... I'm being killed financially. This money is 'cuz hate my guts."

‘Help me!’ Lindsey Graham begs Fox News viewers in unusual plea for campaign cash

Here's him begging Fox cult followers for money

Lindsey Graham apparently needs money for his Senate reelection campaign. And so the South Carolina Republican has taken his appeal for funds to an unusual venue: cable news.

Specifically, Fox News. In a pair of interviews on the network on Thursday, Graham pleaded with Fox viewers for campaign cash, in an emotional appeal almost as weepy as Jerry Lewis in one of the later hours of his old charity telethons.

“I’m getting overwhelmed,” he told prime-time host Sean Hannity. Then, he turned to Hannity’s viewers, adding: “Help me. They’re killing me moneywise. Help me. You did last week. Help me again.”

A few hours earlier, on the “Fox & Friends” morning program, Graham delivered a similar message. “My opponent [Democrat Jaime Harrison] will raise almost $100 million,” he said. “I’m being killed financially. This money is ’cause they hate my guts,” he said, apparently referring to Democrats.

Politicians appearing on TV news often sneak in a reference to their campaign websites in an effort to attract supporters and their contributions. But such a direct appeal for donations, especially in a news interview on such a high-profile venue as Fox, is rare.

How can Republicans conscientiously support this weenie?

I love that he is having to beg for money. Everyone knows he's a two faced talking head looking out for Lindsey Graham.

Graham is a Sunday morning tv talk show whore.

He's tied in the latest two polls in South Carolina against Jamie Harrison. Lindsey is begging for money while Jamie has had contributions pouring in.

Republicans here have never been that crazy about him. He was quite bipartisan for many years, even sponsoring legislation with Hillary Clinton of all people, which pissed off a number of conservatives here.

Don't be shocked if Jamie beats Lindsey in an upset. Mark Sanford lost a congressional race in a sure win district two years ago.

That's why Graham is trying to expedite Barrett's confirmation hearing. He knows Harrison wins in November. Congratulations to South Carolina for being the first state to have two African Americans simultaneously serving in the U.S. Senate.

They put out some brutal campaign videos. I like it.

 

[KeithD]

Which Graham should we be talking about? Doesn't he force a "which Graham?" choice on us. Wouldn't it be more useful to talk about those hoodwinked by Graham--and Trump?

"Help me. I'm poor. Feel sorry for me."

None of the boisterous Republicans want to talk about Graham? Quell surprise.

 

[Wrong Element]

The key to the Republicans stopping their march to the far right is that they come to realize that they can't win states with a high minority population any more by going all-in on fascism and Confederate nostalgia. That combo has made Virginia unwinnable for the GOP, and the Carolinas could be next. (The irony is that Tennessee, which historically has supported moderate Republicans, is going in the other direction because the black vote there is comparatively small.)

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Every time his name comes up, I can't get his DL lifestyle and the "ladybugs" shit out of my head. The leaks are cringe, but when he finally goes down, there are people who will unload on ol' Lady G like a broken dam.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, just do a search and follow the rabbit hole.

Republicans will only open their mouths to lick Trump's ass. But let's say, against all odds, Trump actually wins. What are the Republicans going to do about losing their majority in the Senate when others like Graham go down? Trump wouldn't be able to do very much with a stacked House and Senate.

As long as the GOP stands by Trump, they will get creamed in the Senate and House races. You know this, I know this. They'll probably lose all three.

They know it too. That's why we're seeing all this nonsense about voter fraud; they just can't process the idea that Trump might lose.

538 thinks Graham has an 82% chance of winning.
