Lindsey Graham: “I voted for Evan McMullin” (November, 2016)
Business Insider ^ | Nov 8 2016 | Allan Smith

Posted on 10/19/2019 9:04:31 PM PDT by rintintin

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina - a onetime 2016 Republican presidential contender who often clashed with Republican nominee Donald Trump throughout the campaign - voted for independent candidate Evan McMullin for president on Election Day.

During a recent interview with Business Insider, Graham said he voted for the conservative McMullin, an ex-CIA operative and House Republican policy leader who entered the race in August.

"Well, I voted for Evan," Graham said. "He shares my view of the world, he was on the ballot, and I couldn't go where Trump was taking the party, and I certainly couldn't go where Clinton is going to take the country either."

Nobody should be surprised that Lindsey is fighting Trumps pullout from Syria, because Lindsey has ALWAYS opposed Trumps goal to end our involvement in endless wars

That’s why Lindsey didn’t vote for Trump against Hillary

Instead Lindsey voted for warmonger Egg McMuffin

I thought Lindsey has been supporting Trump lately, to the surprise of many.

I thought he turned over a new leaf.

Now he is criticizing Trump for pulling out of Syria?

I consider Lindsey Graham another Paul Ryan with his own cache of monkey wrenches.

I don't get a lot of things. The elites seem to love war. They seem to love abortion. They seem to love unfettered immigration. They seem to love taxes, public debt, disarming the public.

Politics can be so simple. Most people generally are against all of that...

Trump allowed the McConnell Paul Ryan crowd to set his agenda for the first two years. No wall money, no infrastructure, no pullouts from Afghanistan or Syria. So some Nevertrumpers like Lindsey thought they had tamed Trump

But now Trump is showing them, with the Syria decision, that he means to keep his foreign policy promises and start ending the forever wars that they love. This has outraged them and they’re starting to oppose him the way they did when he was a candidate in the primaries and against Hillary

Bro you won’t let this ####ing go to the point of absurdity.

Are you afraid you’re wrong and need to post DOZENS of articles and now OLD articles that somehow maybe might relate to the issue of Syria going on right now?

Just wow.

Let it go.

It’s all progressivism, in one form or another - the notion that “they” know what’s best and should be making these decisions for “us”.

The Founders worried a lot about a king, they couldn’t have envisioned an administrative state being allowed to accumulate as much power as a king, or more.

I certainly couldn't go where Clinton is going to take the country either.

Yet that is exactly what you did Lindsey. Since Evan McMuffin had no chance in a blue moon of winning, you took away a vote for Donald Trump and presented a vote to Hillary Clinton.

You just voted the way you did to CYSA.

1. War - they are bribed by those who sell arms
2. Abortion - PP is a conduit of tax money to politicians
3. Immigration - big business wants cheap people
4. Taxes - they need more money for slush funds - i.e. foreign aid to skim
5. Debt - who cares - favors for donors are expensive but they don’t have to pay it back by themselves.
6. Disarming - so they don’t have to worry as much about items 1 - 5 because you are right - most people are against all of that.

Is Graham up for re-election 2020, aside from the fact that the Senate judicial committee which HE heads has done NOTHING to investigate Trump’s enemies, NOW bashes him for protecting our troops, he needs to be primaried !!!! We need to flood the RNC demanding that he be primaried, Ronna needs to start getting rid of EVERYONE not backing our POTUS!!!

Did the judge ask him if his committee is ever going to investigate the swamp?

Trump had no choice until the Russia investigation was over. And he achieved federal judges (or so we hope).

Lindsay needs a primary challenge.
