In my nearly 68 year lifetime

I have experienced politicians whom I’ve hated, whom I have despised, and whom I wish dead. But I am going to tell you that I have never been so REPULSED by a politician as I am by Lindsey Graham. There must be 50 words in the dictionary of vilification that you could post his picture next to for a prime example of the meaning of that word.

That performance, stating that he was so pleased to have Had Donald Trump allowing him to enter his world, sent shivers down my spine.

Oleaginous slime is all our Lindsey's ever been.

People waste effort when they wonder 'what happened to him?' or 'what have they got on him?'

Lindsey's just being what Lindsey is, what he's always been and always will be. A toadying lick-spittle without a trace of dignity or self-respect.

Perhaps it was never really dead.

I grew up in the 60's and 70's with sleazy two faced bigoted men just like him in rural North Carolina.

They made my skin crawl then and they make my skin crawl now.

And the sad thing is there are tens of thousands of Jim Crowites just like him still thriving today in that 'Old Dixie's gonna rise again' culture.

Gotta be epic. Remember when all around the table, the Cabinet gave praise, “My honor to serve you provided by Providence blah blah blah” made me sick, too.

Something is very wrong.

All other Republicans strive to emulate the man. Many National Republican leaders are not far behind. Scott and Rubio, my state's senators, come to mind, both have all the qualities to grow into the type of leader that Graham is.

It would be different if it was not for the well documented dislike Graham had for DT as a candidate the “if we nominate him we will be destroyed and deserve it” type comments. If he had always been a DT fan his behavior now would be more understandable. But to go from that to “he lets me be in his world”... HFS. Whatever Russia got from the hacking of his emails that they gave to DT must be just in his eyes a career or life ending information on Graham. There is no other reasonable explanation for the complete servile attitude Graham has towards DT.


Karma, really needs to come back from vacation and engage.

I completely agree with your sentiment.

I'll add a Mitch McConnell to your "club" as well as a Ted Cruz; and I apologize that I feel I need to correct you but I'll say that there must be 75 words in the dictionary of vilification next to the people in this club.

Newt Gingrich comes to mind .

There is no contest regarding the Senate, other than Lindsey: Cruz and McConnell

voted vs Democrats not voting threw that election to Cruz instead of Beto.

Rural voters vote solid Republican here and they turn out. Beto carried the metropolitan areas with high percentages but just not enough.

One of our folks who really analyzes turnout remarked that the margin could have been pulled right here in Tarrant county.

detriment of their friends and neighbors. Yes, Graham is a poster child for their wretched "values". He is but one of many who have bared their asses for all to see as they have given suck to Trump. There's not much else to say about them. They are the worst of humanity, pure and simple, and have demonstrated that in their behaviors. They aren't even "Republicans" or "Conservatives" in the traditional sense of politics. We need to stop referring to them as such. They are the Trumps. They openly embrace all of his evil. They should be called "The Trump Party", or "The Trumps". They represent themselves and their monied interests only, and do not care who suffers or dies or who they must cheat or lie to in order to get what they want.

Hell will need to be enlarged to hold them all.
