WHO IS Senator, yes Senator, Darline Graham (R-S.C.) during a special GOP Senate runoff debate this past week.

Yet the POTUS still stumps for her on Friday in MB. It must be a club thing about foreign policy. Cmon folks, we're better than this...and I would post the same darn thing if she had D - S.C. next to her name and a DEM POTUS was still supporting this BS.

He’s being misled with who he should support. And to stubborn to back down.

Backing Maria Salazar and Markwayne Mullin was detarded.

Edit to add ACB. Yikes is she a horrible human for birthright citizenship.

Well give her a little credit. At least she was honest about it and didn’t stutter around for a minute or two until she could come up with some stupid bullshite answer like AOC did a few months back when asked about US policy on Taiwan.

No, he’s not being misled. There are blatantly obvious reasons for his decision, ones that ultimately result in benefit to him as President.

I was gonna say that's it's only fair to ask women about cooking. But they're not really good at that either.

Actually agree with you. Benefiting him is the driver for most things.

Not America First like you all pretend.

Yeah, that seemed embarrassing. Do we know if she even WANTS to be “there”?

She seems like a nice person just based on what little I know.

You guys complain because Trump can't codify anything into law, just EOs. Then you complain when Trump backs people in congress who would actually help him.

You can't have it both ways.

Welp, considering her brother was a so-called "expert" in foreign policy and spent his career trying to start wars, I take this as a positive.

If we are being honest, most people who aren't sitting in on regular intelligence briefings are not that informed on national security. It's one thing to be informed on it through various media sources, its another to actually read the intelligence..

Yup. Cucksammich is a very low iq person

He was drooling over MIGA Ron then cries about MIGA. His excuse is Ron only got 250k not 250mil like Orange. Yet if Ron won he would have gotten 250mil

I guess I’d like to know if y’all even attempt to challenge your own immediate thoughts and conclusions in debate situations. Because in my case there were a couple of nearly instantaneous possible realistic. And firstly, it’s probably important to understand that the lady isn’t just a complete stranger to politics, and particularly not a stranger to the overall situation in the Senate, given her closeness with her former Senator brother. And from all accounts they were extremely close. And no Im specifically not talking about top secret documents and info.

As for the couple of immediate thoughts as to his decision to endorse and proactively support this lady: one centers around a certain level of trust that she will support him just as her brother did, thus no serious concern about the selection (to endorse and support) going rogue and being an obstacle to him in the already razor thin Senate.

Secondly, Trump probably sees that there’s no time to recalibrate the approach to the aforementioned razor thin margin Senate for a new and potentially unpredictable “philosophy” to deal with in that seat. It’s generally believed and expected that she will be of very similar philosophy as her brother, thus no new obstacle for the President to deal with.

Cliffs: he believes he can trust her not to obstruct him; and there’s no serious “learning curve” to figure out with a new and potentially different person’s philosophy in the already perilous Senate.

The laughing stock of this board calling me low iq…I’ll take it.

You gushed over Ron until Trump told you to hate him…simpleton.

She has the temporary seat. But I do believe she will not win the primary for the 6 year term.

Well, AOC also has crude style. Back in the day we described being both stupid and crude: 'Oh, don't be a Phillistine!'

I do not believe there is time for a special primary, she is the candidate, period.
