Out of the blocks early, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday vowed to support President Donald Trump's 2020 re-election bid.

The show of solidarity from the South Carolina Republican comes as many other members of the GOP are waiting to weigh in on their party leader.

Graham, who has butted heads with the president in the past and also faced him as a 2016 GOP presidential primary challenger, fired off two tweets stating his support for the sitting president.

In the post, Graham tagged Trump, an active social media user, when he tweeted: "As to the 2020 presidential race, I believe President @realDonaldTrump will run for reelection and I intend to support him."

He still has his moments but he’s largely come around (just like Cruz and Paul).

You know, we will live together or all hang separately. I am a conservative and I view many in the party as liberal and globalist but we must come together to save this nation and fight the communists democrat deep state and support Donald Trump. I certainly have issue differences with some of his decision but MY GOD— It almost was the raving criminal ,hillary clinton. !! None of these Democrats are any damned good. They would trash democracy and the constitution and take your property in a minute. I was so pleased to see Rand Paul , after assurances were given, vote for Pompeo as Secretary of State. Now Lindsey Graham . We dont have to give up our beliefs but we must make reasonable compromise and move toward solidarity or we will lose this nation.

Maybe they finally figured out which side their bread is buttered on.

Amen, and amen!! I, have a tendency to discount Republicans with whom I disagree but time and again, I’ve found that if I exercise restraint and patience, eventually, we find ourselves on the same side. Democrats are our enemy.

Graham wants Trump’s support for his own re-election race in 2020. Graham needs to be primaried. His butt buddy McCain will be gone along with Flake. Graham is vulnerable.

Things like this sort of go against the media narrative that Trump is ballot box poison and the GOP is going to lose historically because of him, don't they?

I think that Lindsey "Open Borders" Grahamnesty is up for (cough, cough) re-election this year, and I suspect (but do not know) a primary fairly soon.

I do recall that Grahamnesty's BFF, John McCain was a pro at championing Conservative causes and energetically promoting the wishes of his constituency for tight border security (right up to the day of the election); and how quickly the McCain maverick, reach-across-the-aisle Ted Kennedy chum worm turned after election.

Despite Grahamnesty's pot banging for President Trump and international security, one highly suspects that if re-elected, he will do whatever he can to thwart the "wall", border security, and most things Republican.

Question for any SC peeps herabouts, is there a strong Conservative contender for GOP nom in the SC primary?

Brad Thor had a bad day today, a day after announcing his “candidacy” against Trump.

BTW-McCain has only ONE card left to play.

It’s when he goes out and publicly kisses Hanoi Jane’s a^% ,on live TV.

Other than that... he doesn’t have any other moves.
