Lindsey Graham

How does one believe a person who was against giving obama's pick a hearing saying the people should have a voice and if trump has a pick in the last year he will vote against a confirmation...and now he isn't doing what he said. He said to use his words against him, ok, we are. You are a liar lindsey, how can you expect anyone to believe you.

Is this the kind of leadership republicans want. LIe to achieve your ends.

I just watched his opening statement. He spent a good portion of it running a re-election campaign for himself, which was super funny. But then he said something so stupid: in arguing against Obamacare, he said what if Diabetes patients in SC need different care than Diabetes patients in CA.

The GOP is shameless in displaying their contempt for their own voters.

It’s in Trump’s pocket. Just you gotta wait till AFTER the election. Like the middle class tax cut and covid relief.

It will be called Trumpcare. Basically, Americans will have the right to purchase health care from private insurance businesses,

Apparently, it is. Graham is like all the Trump-sucking Republicans now. Untrustworthy, on everything. Which is why I don't believe anything he says, on any subject.

Give Lindsey a break. He can't afford TV ads and has to go on Fox News to beg for money, so he needs as much free camera time as he can get.

I didn’t plan on listening to much this morning but now that Graham is out here pleading for re-election and whining about his campaign I’m a little hooked.

The same guy who said Trump vs Cruz is like the poison or the bullet. Like so many politicians on both sides, there is no integrity. Self serving and power mongering.

Not news. Just true, but obvious for his whole career probably.

Look we all know it's political whenever anything is done in Congress, every time it's politics. What has happened over the contentious SCOTUS nominations the last decade is bruising and political but far from illegal or unconstitutional. With Merritt Garland, a democrat president nominated him and a republican senate used the processes within the law to prevent his confirmation. With Amy Coney Barrett a republican president nominated her and a republican senate is operating according to the law. Democrats don't like it because they fear the law apparently. Democrats used the law to embarrass the President with numerous phony investigations and ultimately an impeach hearing with was totally partisan and yet within the law. This is where our country has fallen off the rails, the politicians are playing politics instead of looking to the good of the country in whole and to the law as written.

YEs: some time after ”Go” but just before “**** yourself.”

they have been operating under "win at any cost" for some time now. i'm not advocating that the other side do the same, but they need to understand the field that they are playing on, for sure. when your opponent will stop at nothing to win, your strategy has to take that into account.
