Holy Cow - Senator Graham on Trump

Watch the commercial in the link. And then scroll down and look at the comments. Huge disconnect. I do wonder if Senator Graham will support Trump over Biden given the state of the union heading into November...

Lindsey Graham's about-face where he turned into one of the most eager Trump lickpsittles in the entire country is still a bit of a mystery.

He doesn't though. No one knows why Graham is doing this. Theories abound - that this is a palace intrigue attempt to influence Trump's foreign policy towards Graham's neocon ends, that Trump/Russia has dirt on him, etc. But we don't know. He didn't just go silent. He's one of Trump's most public shoe-shine boys.

Early on I thought it might be possible that Graham was being the guy who would say one thing in public while trying to steer Trump away from disasterous decisions, getting a little inside power in the balance. His apparent sell-out is so complete and so abject, and I still don't entirely get it. Will history treat Lindsay Graham kindly? I think not.

I just hope that the number of voters whose support he lost by this sudden 180 degree turnaround exceeds the number who changed their minds in his favor because of it.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

If one were ever looking for an obvious, teachable example of what a sellout is, one need look no further than Lindsey Graham.

GOP senators... paralyzed by fear of mean tweets. These are the men and women chosen to lead their party.

So, um... ROTFLMAO

What with Trump openly talking about blackmailing a US Senator on live TV, that ups the power rankings of "Graham is being blackmailed because there's video of him with an underage rent boy or something" theory a little.
