“I don’t know why anyone in the great state of South Carolina would ever vote for Lindsey Graham.” That’s Lou Dobbs going off on Graham — and not for the reason you might think.

He’s done nothing to investigate Obamagate except to say “stay tuned”
no other reason but for the federal court picks.. the guy running against him is a hand picked bought and paid for Schumer shill
All true, but would a dem be better? He should have been knocked out in the primary. Too late now and going to need all the GOP senators we can get. He does vote right way most times... even while being useless with investigations.
The Dem Senate doesn't shoot its own.
The election is in 10 days. Lou Dobbs is not being helpful.
only reason i would take is he’s the lesser of two evils
“He should have been knocked out in the primary.”
Beating Graham in the primary may not be an option. I think South Carolina has an open primary. There are probably enough Democrats that will crossover and vote for Graham in order to keep him from losing any primary.
A Rat is worse than a worm, Lou. That’s why.
only reason i would take is he’s the lesser of two evils
I don’t have a vote there and don’t see that we have any choice. He is not on my Christmas card list and is the King of Empty Promises, but I will take the judges.
The irony is how/why the left has spent so much money to unseat him.
Lou is right and he’s wrong. That was rhetoric for the primaries. At this point you hold your nose and vote for Lindsay.
The King of Empty Promises is from South Carolina, but he ain’t Linda. Try Trey Gowdy.
Because Graham represents the state well, has a key position in the senate, and because he is now running the judiciary committee well. Selecting a D would only put the state in the senate sewer ( at least until the dnc is reformed, the soroznazi party bosses purged).
We already know that Lindsey was a big Mueller and Christopher Wray supporter, but this is what he believes:
July 2015: “I think [Donald Trump is] uninformed about the situation regarding the illegal immigrant population. I think he has hijacked the debate. I think he is a wrecking ball for the future of the Republican party with the Hispanic community and we need to push back.”
August 2015: “Well, Donald Trump’s plan on immigration is stupid. I find him offensive. His solution is just constitutionally flawed. It’s not practical. I don’t think there’s 10 votes in the United States Senate for this plan. I promise you no Democrat’s going to vote for this, I certainly wouldn’t vote for it. You’re not going to get 11 million people out of this country. That’s just not practical, that’s going to kill the Republican Party. It’s self-deportation on steroids.”
September 2015: “I think the wall Donald Trump is building is between us and Hispanics.”
December 2015: A Trump nomination “would be an utter, complete and total disaster. If you’re a xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot, you’re going to have a hard time being president of the United States, and you’re going to do irreparable damage to the party.”
December 2015: “You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell. He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represents the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for. … He’s the ISIL man of the year.”
December 2015: “I believe Donald Trump is destroying the Republican chances to win an election that we can’t afford to lose. I believe we’re losing the Hispanic vote because they think we don’t like them…I believe Donald Trump is destroying the Republican Party.”
March 2016: “The bottom line is that I believe Donald Trump would be an absolute, utter disaster for the Republican Party, destroy conservatism as we know it. We’d get wiped out, and it would take generations to overcome a Trump candidacy. Here is why we’re losing the Hispanic vote. Nobody is going to listen to you about your economic plan or your ability to defend the nation if you’re going to deport their grandmother. This is why we’re getting killed with Hispanics. And Mr. Trump has taken every problem we have had with Hispanics and poured gasoline on it.
March 2016: “If Trump is the standard bearer, it’s not about 2016, it’s about losing the heart and soul of the conservative movement. I’m not going to stand behind a guy that gets David Duke’s support. What is it about Trump’s campaign that David Duke likes? I don’t think he is a reliable conservative Republican. So it’s no longer about winning the election for me, it’s trying to salvage a party that I love and conservatism as I know it.”
April 2016, on running as Trump’s VP: “That’s like buying a ticket on the Titanic.”
May 2016: “When it comes to women and Hispanics, Trump polls like Lucifer.”
May 2016: “I…cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative nor has he displayed the judgment and temperament to serve as Commander in Chief. I think Donald Trump is going to places where very few people have gone and I’m not going with him. Eating a taco is probably not going to fix the problems we have with Hispanics. I think embracing Donald Trump is embracing demographic death.”
Meanwhile, Lindsey has been all talk and only given the president lip services, while using his committee position to thwart the president; perhaps, even support the coup.
After the election with his job position secure for another 6 years, Lindsey may fall off totally into the Never-Trump Romney-Bush camp.
Agree and now is not the time for Dobbs to be saying this. It’s too late. We need the majority.
“only reason i would take is he’s the lesser of two evils”
I agree. This is not marriage where we have an option of staying single.
Trump will likely win and carry a majority in the senate. Now is the time to start thinking about the next term. Having a coalition of democrats with never-trump republican congressman in key positions blocking Trump for another 4 years will be unacceptable.
“no other reason but for the federal court picks”
We need the GOP to keep a majority in the Senate. Whoever has the majority sets the agenda.
Graham isn’t my favorite either but is 10x better than Collins, Murky, or Romney.
They’re voting for the seat! The time to reject Lindsey was in the primary, not now. Republicans are in danger of losing the senate. This was irresponsible of Dobbs!
