“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

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, because flipping the seat and maybe the Senate would be a good idea. Shut up, Lou, your brain is going Biden-y.

• GRAHAM: No Facebook's Zuckerberg or Twitter's Dorsey testimony until AFTER the Election
• 'Betrayed the American people': Lou Dobbs encourages South Carolina to vote Lindsey 'Stay tuned' Graham out
• Facebook, Twitter CEOs to testify before Senate Judiciary Committee on Nov. 17

[NJRighty]

Because the guy running against him is an anti-gun, pro-abortion, anti-Trump left wing extremist.

[FLT-bird]

The time to take out Lindsey Graham and several others in the Republican Party is during their primaries. Refusing to support less than ideal Republicans now an letting Leftist Democrats gain seats in the Senate is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[MAGAthon]

too late to get rid of Graham now; in fact, you need to ensure he wins.

[fortheDeclaration]

We need him in the Senate! What does Lou think the Democrat will do!

[SmokingJoe]

So what?
The US Senate can't prosecute anybody. That would be the DOJ’s job.
Stop trying to plant disinformation and garbage in an attempt to hand the Senate over to the Dems.

[SmokingJoe]

You may want to look back on the Kavanaugh confirmation process where Graham was a hero.
Your normal Democrat in that seat would have guaranteed Kavanaugh was not confirmed.

[devere]

I don’t know why any Republican would ever watch Lou Dobbs again.

[nathanbedford]

It is imperative that Lindsay Graham's seat in the Senate be saved for the GOP.

FULL STOP

THE idea of being compelled to vote for Lindsay Graham to save the Senate seat for the GOP is utterly repugnant.

……

The timing of a call to vote against Lindsay Graham could not be worse.

FULL STOP

The timing for these perennial calls is always bad.

At least Lou Dobbs in repeating his acutely ill-timed demand that Lindsay Graham be guillotined is not inconsistent. He has been forthright in his opposition to Graham and among the most prominent in pointing out Graham's hypocrisy. He has been doing so for as long as I can remember. Nor is Dobbs' calls to repentance limited to Graham, he has been consistent and consistently right in indicting the phonies of the Republican establishment.

Our problem is that we always find ourselves in this dilemma whether it involves Lindsay Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins or (gasp!) Mitt Romney. Worse, the Democrats have mastered the art of party discipline, a survival skill which seems to have eluded us.

Every cycle at the most inopportune and critical time we hear calls to decapitate one or another Rino Senator only to be confronted with the inexorable truth that we simply cannot afford to do so. We squandered the last six years of this senator's term, and thus we have left ourselves no choice.

So we avert our eyes, hold our nose, dutifully cast our vote, bend over and beg for another and another over every six-year cycle.

The Democrats have virtually every institution in America on their side and they know that any maverick senator who strays off the reservation will be ruthlessly terminated as quickly as any slanderer of Mohammed. Consider also, money in the Democrat party is strictly controlled, even more so than Mitch McConnell's largess among Republicans, and discipline by withholding the purse is easier to inflict. Money remains the mother's milk of politics. We should always follow the money.

Now is the time to remind ourselves that the Lindsay Graham's in our world must go but now is not the time to act on that righteous impulse. We have six years for that.

[Swirl]

The Romney-Bush wing including Lindsey have been supportive of the the conservative court picks because it does not threaten their open-borders, neoconservative view. But that’s about as far as it will go.

Again, its time to start thinking about Trump’s second term and who will support/block his agenda.

[SmokingJoe]

Graham is a billion times better than any Democrat in that seat.
It's not even close.
Every single Democrat votes in lockstep with Schumer on almost every single issue.

[Swirl]

I respectfully disagree. A new democrat elected with the minority party will have little power. On the other hand, Lindsey will continue his strangle hold, and roadblocks, by maintaining his high positions via senior status in the majority party. And don’t get spooked into unwise decisions by MSM fake polling, regarding who will be the majority party.

[Candor7]

Lou must be settling an old score.

Smarten up Dobbs, or you’ll feel the boot!

[SmokingJoe]

You an disagree a you want. It doesn't change the facts.
Every Democrat in the US Senate votes with Schumer. Go ask Doug Collins Dem US Senator from Alabama who is on track to lose this year. He's voted with Schumer every single time including on the Kavanaugh vote.
NO DEMOCRATS!
And Graham WILL win.

[lewislynn]

The election is in 10 days. Lou Dobbs is not being helpful.

Your posting that to a person that, to this day brags about voting for the man set out to do the "fundamental" transformation of America, ran the country into the ground for 8yrs, made the most corrupt politician ever his Vice President, Politicized the bureaucracies, attempted to unseat a president, is till trying to overthrow our government, forced his dream of a health care system on everyone, sold us out to the Chinese to name a few.

But rintintin said just the other day, he likes/respects Obama because he stood up for his party.

[Ingtar]

What is “Because the Democrat alternative is even worse” for $1000, Alex?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Exactly. The Senate MUST be kept in Republican hands. Graham, therefore, must be re-elected.

[CarmichaelPatriot]

The Federal court packing by the Republicans must proceed.

Fully staffing the federal Judiciary is not "Court Packing".

That Obama left vacancies unfilled is a move left squarely on his shoulders. President Trump and Leader McConnell are just performing their duties under the Constitution.

[cpdiii]

I share Llou Dobbbs feelings but he is wrong. Vote for Lindsey but we can primary him out in 6 years. We need that Senate seat to stay republican.

[Does so]

SC has Hispanics?
