Lindsey Graham

I do not know what happened to Graham. Maybe his real self killed off the Russian troll in his place. Whatever.
He certainly has changed his tune. I will give him some credit but he never should have surrendered his dignity in the first place.
It is telling that few if any other elected officials have recersed course.

(Had to be my letter. lol)

1. What did he do to alter your opinion

Inquiring minds want to know..

9. He has openly gone after other GOP assholes.

He called Tom Cotton ‘ the Steve King of the Senate.’
It is rare to see such shade thrown openly at members of his own party.

He has openly talked about the continuuing debate being hard on Dreamers. I haven’t heard anybody else over there even act like they arehuman beings.

Yes, he should have been here forever with this view. I didn’t expect him to cross Trump again in any way, shape or form.

2. He is like Trump, the mood of the day is way the sway!

3. Am guessing he is on one of the shows today?

I would *think* the sudden Drumpf smackdown rant about "shithole countries" in the middle of his discussing his bipartisan compromise bill, was possibly considered about as rude and insulting as can be (perhaps not the content but the gall that he was interrupted by some "damn yankee" ).

4. Maybe watching his best friend die a slow death is working on him. nt

5. "c" and "v" are right next to each other on the keyboard....

6. Maybe he had a little immunity chat with Mueller?

8. You are most likely correct

Or at least he was informed that there’s a catastrophe looming and he better get outa Dodge before it hits the fan.

7. Graham is NOT to be trusted

I bet my social security check that those golfing meetings in the past month or so have been all about Lindsey offering to guide Trump into a pre-emptive strike on N Korea.

Look for that to happen in the run up to the midterms. Graham is a in the rear with the gear runt who loves to see the blood of others spill.

10. I am born and bred in SC.

I have never trusted any of them.

11. I bet Lindsey is wearing a wire during golf with Trump.

Cause I believe Lindsey is helping Mueller. I am not a fan of Lindsey, but I believe he knows that Trump is acting on Putin's orders to destroy America from within. He probably made some sort of promise to Mccain to stop Trump. Just my opinion.

12. Graham got his feelings hurt during the shithole meeting and his co-

senators (GOP) hung him out to dry.

I'm still waiting on the video of that meeting.

13. When Graham started sucking up to Trump a few months ago

I wondered whether he was trying to position himself for an appointment to SoS when Tillerson leaves (or is fired) - or maybe Trump has some dirt on him. I've changed my mind. Whatever else you want to say about Graham, he's not a stupid man; I think he saw that the only way anybody can deal with Trump is by flattering him excessively - thus the fawning over 45's impossible golf scores, for example. I think Graham thought if he made "friends" with Trump he'd have some influence on whether Trump supported his legislative efforts.

So, assuming Trump was now his golf buddy and everything was copacetic, Graham and Durbin put together the framework for an agreement on immigration, and they mosey on over to the White House thinking Trump would buy in and they'd have a done deal. But they get there and Trump, having got a stern talking-to beforehand by nativists Kelly, Miller and Cotton, torpedoes the whole thing with his "shithole" comments. Whereupon Graham realizes Trump is not his friend and can't be trusted as far as he can throw a grand piano.

Whether Graham decides to try the suckup treatment again remains to be seen, but I think he saw how far Trump's "loyalty" goes. Kelly and the other hardliners convinced Trump that restoring DACA wouldn't play well well with his base, so that was the end of that.

14. Your letter!

15. I used to like Graham, he has a wicked sense of humor...

but now I see he is shady as fuck and no different from your average republican.

16. Weasel...

More weaselly than most.
