Re your post 58, as I put it earlier, it is highly, highly unlikely that a man in his fifties could remain in the closet all this time, especially being a politician in South Carolina, right there in the Bible Belt. I suspect that homosexuals have higher sex drives than normal people and they could not restrain themselves.
Your point number two is getting closer to the real reason. IMHO.
It all fits perfectly well. He is in the closet.
He doesn’t keep it hidden anymore at all really. It’s very obvious. You’ll notice it by his mannerisms. Look carefully at how his mouth moves, the words he uses, how he behaves in public.
The gaydar meter goes off the chart with Lindsey Graham. He is a liberal gay man posing in the closet as a “conservative politician.” And the problem is he doesn’t vote conservative any more.
Let’s vote him out.
