Yep. Remember, he was an Anti-Trumper RINO until John McNoname died. Then, suddenly, Miss Lindsey flipped on the "Mr. Graham" switch of his dual persona. Then, when he had a golden opportunity to stand against the Uniparty Establishment Machine, he Jeckyll'd back to Miss Lindsey again.

I suspect that somewhere deep in him he's actually pretty conservative, but he's compromised and he'll never be allowed to be anything other than a flip-flopper. Notice how no pics of him with other men (or boys ) have ever surfaced? They all know, but it will remain "secret" so long as he continues to pinch hit for the establishment.

Long story short, he's gotta go for sure. In some cases, the devil you know is FAR WORSE than the devil you don't know.

Graham is the closest thing to a Littlefinger we have in American politics.

Politicians know the memory of the voter regarding the acts of the politician is about 120 days long. Hence, the politician behaves anyway he/she/it/them/they/x/y/etc.. wants until about 120 days before the election.

Then they become exactly what they told their voters they would be. Wash, rinse, repeat...



I don't think that's the case at all. His voters know exactly what kind of swamp creature he is, but he has the backing of the GOP and all the big money. Nobody wanted to run against him, or at least didn't get the backing of Trump and the Super PACs to try and compete. If you're a republican, you had to vote this POS and not the Dem. It was a shitty choice to make. Graham only won due to lack of options.

He appealed to the base during his re-election and then went back to being swampy after securing re-election. It works for all of them.

Because elections aren't real. Haven't been for a long time.

It is the same with Cornyn in Texas. These clowns do just enough conservative stuff for re-election but after re-election they turn back to RINOs.

Lindsey has never really been primary'd by anyone who could spend what he does. he rode Strom's coattails into his 2002 election win.

2008 he won the R primary by crushing Buddy Witherspoon's spending and later the D candidate's spending by a ridiculous $6M to like $20K or some such.

he spent an obscene amount of $ in 2014 setting up his "Graham Machine" with outposts all over SC. he was basically once again unopposed in the R primary. he defeated an even worse D candidate Brad Hutto in the general by double-digit %.

2020 he was again unopposed in the R primary - but in the general election the Soros black candidate Harrison was outspending Graham which led to Lindsey's public begging for $ we all saw. Carolinians weren't choosing the Soros plant so Lindsey once again was re-elected.

Graham won't be re-elected in 2026. the bad news is Nancy two-face Mace or Nasty Nikki will likely slide into his office in 2026.

How about closer to home: Cassidy? He is clearly NOT a Republican/Conservative, and his votes show his lack of support for the U.S. Constitution. You losers that voted for him because he had an "R" next to his name better remember his voting record next election. We need to vote for people that are aligned with our state's best interests. Oil, 2A, etc...
