Exactly. FR has become hijacked by people who believe this article. They won’t hold him accountable for his record. Clearly The Construction and Bill of Rights, as written,are not in their principle beliefs. Grahmnesty is even worse than a centrist, he is a liar. What he is saying does not equal his record and his proposed legislations.

[Wallace T.]

To the enemedia, a centrist is someone who is someone to the right of Stalin. Also, the so called center has drifted leftward. Men like Scoop Jackson or Richard Proxmire, centrist Democrats of 40 years ago, would be considered moderate conservatives today.

He earned his kudos for helping save a SCOTUS pick. And did it with conviction.

A lot of so-called real conservatives in the Senate didn’t do jack $**t.

If he continues on this track, then he will earn a lot more praise.

I’ve always been a critic of that guy in the past, but he has my attention, and I’m not going to get in the way if that is where he wants to go.

People can and do change.

Let's hope this is the case with Graham.

I would not want people to judge me based on my past. I am not the same person I was.

Maybe the whole Kavanaugh debacle finally opened his eyes.

That said, while I'm thrilled with the way he's been recently, I will take it at face value.

I would still be reluctant to trust the change is permanent until he's proved it but in the meantime, I'll take what I can get and not criticize him for what he's doing NOW.

I'm grateful Trump seems to have rubbed off on him and he's become a powerful voice for our side.

Heck, there is this.....

It’s OK to encourage good behavior. It also encourages other spaghetti spined RINO’s to straighten up and fly right. Temporary? Probably. But good for now at least. Ask Judge K.

I don't buy the act, but there has never, ever been a majority of U.S. Senators who were principled, moral and conservative men. ANY working coalition requires having a few Grahams to play along. You don't trust them, you keep them under close supervision, and you let him keep his position as long as he continues to play along a better option doesn't come along.

Graham is a canny politician, and he bought himself some time. Believe it or not, one of the heroes of the Thomas hearings was Snarlin' Arlen Specter. Because he was not considered a hard core right winger, he was more effective than Ted Cruz would have been in the same role.
