Formerly a leader of the more rational faction of the GOP, Graham once said, “You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The more rational faction being the Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.

I’m not buying that Graham is on the side of the citizens and the rule of law until he publicly repudiates amnesty.

".... As former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican, told CNN's Fareed Zakaria, 'We the people' has been replaced by 'me the president' ...."

Excuse me, Colin, but where were you for eight years of "The One" giving speeches about someone else and referring to himself in the personal pronoun (me, myself and I) more times that you could count?

If there were ever a "Me the President" presidency, it would be Obama, not Trump.

Not unless he gets on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
He supported amnesty in 2006, 2007 and 2013.
He still wants to give the country to illegal aliens.

You’re posting liberal talking points.

Since you’re new here, perhaps you’re not familiar with what we do. We post (mainly) liberal or leftist nonsense and then we pick it apart. If we only posted threads that said “Rah-rah Trump is great” which are pretty hard to find, by the way, we wouldn’t have much to do.

Kavanaugh’s display, unworthy of anyone seeking a seat on the Supreme Court was fully Trumpian in its emotion”

and

“No one personifies the triumph of Trumpism more fully than Graham.”

in other words Pubs are fighting back rather than curling up into little balls and issuing tiny whimpers as they take their kicking ... Dems aren’t used to Pubs fighting back and don’t like it one little bit ... Dems call Pubs fighting back “Trumpian” ... I actually agree whole-heartedly with such a tag ...

“Colin is not a Republican, he is a back stabbing traitor.”

totally ... and also a total affirmative-action baby ... i read his autobiography, and his descriptions of his sky-rocket trajectory in the military just reek of affirmative action ...

Colin is a Black Benedict Arnold.

At one time he was a Patriot, now he is a Traitor.

If you want to have a hero complex for Linda Graham over one good deed and one good speech, have at it. As far as I’m concerned, that doesn’t come close to erasing all of the damage that this guy has done over the years as an open borders advocate, as a politically correct crusader against Confederate monuments, and as a deranged “nation builder” in our foreign policy. I don’t trust the guy any farther than I could throw him. He may be useful for now, but that’s as much credit as I’d give him.

"We the people" has been replaced by "me the president."

Did this guy ever listen to an Obama speech?

You are right - looks like Graham has possibly seen the light and discovered he has been feeding attack dogs in hopes of making them reasonable and they keep going the other direction....he has potential as an asset....I vowed not to say bad things 9even name-games) about him/Collins/Mitch at least through the end of the year as a sign of appreciation for what they did.

I bet my wife that Trump would fit an apology in during the Kavanaugh swearing in and I loved the way he worked some of the crap in and only mentioned Repub names when dishing out the thanks...and Kavanaugh did his part just right too...
