“If national democrats are serious about reaching the male voters they’ve been hemorrhaging then they will support Graham for Senate,”


, “There's an anti-establishment angst in the country that I think is well-founded. People think that the system does not represent them, and they're not wrong at all. And I think that sending or choosing candidates who come from the establishment, come from politics — regardless of who they are as people, regardless of what they've pushed — is, in many ways right now, I think, a real liability.”


1. White Male Vote ✔️
2. Anti Establishment. ✔️
