Lindsey Graham voted TERRIBLY.

Literally ANY replacement, including Joe Wilson (60%), would be an improvement!

Ralph Norman (92%) would be ideal.

[FLT-bird]

Yep. Lindsey Graham was no “staunch Trump ally”. He was a neocon RINO who had a very lousy record overall.

I was PISSED the last two times when Trump endorsed him. Both were mistakes IMO. I’m glad he will no longer be in the Senate.

[libh8er]

His body isn’t even cold yet. Jeez.

[albie]

All I remember is the video of him high fiving and laughing with his dem buddies after Biden stole the WH

[Yogafist]

A few months ago I was perusing a web site that tracked democrat legislator’s voting patterns and adherence to liberal policies. The most conservative legislators I could find voted liberal 85% of the time. Most were in the high 90’s. These guys are just part time conservatives.

Great news. Your graphic shows the RINO becoming an endangered species:

Lindsey Graham: 43% (Gone)
Mitch McConnell: 44% (Coma)
John Thune: 51%
John Cornyn: 54% (Lost primary)
Bill Cassidy: 55% (Lost primary)
Chuck Grassley: 56%

[griffin]

Im glad he is dead.
Screwing over Americans is despicable and criminal and immoral.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Lindsey's greatest accomplishment was keeping the paparazzi out of his homosexual
lifestyle. Thankfully we never had to see a picture of Linda in a Speedo.

[ notice that Thune is at the bottom; cassidy & mcconnel WAY below Graham]

Most Conservative (Top Tier)These senators consistently score near or at 100% on Heritage Action, CPAC, and similar indices. They are frequently highlighted for strong records on limited government, social conservatism, and opposition to spending/regulation.

Mike Lee (UT) — Frequently #1 or top 3; 100% Heritage.
Ted Budd (NC), Jim Banks (IN), Bernie Moreno (OH) — 100% Heritage; strong newcomers/alignments.
Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ted Cruz (TX), Rick Scott (FL) — Top GovTrack ideology; high 90s-100%.
Rand Paul (KY), Josh Hawley (MO), Tommy Tuberville (AL), Roger Marshall (KS), Cynthia Lummis (WY) — Top CPAC; libertarian-leaning or populist conservatives.

Others in this group: Steve Daines (MT), Kevin Cramer (ND), Mike Crapo (ID), Bill Hagerty (TN), John Cornyn (TX) (high 90s Heritage), Tom Cotton (AR).Strongly Conservative (Solid Majority of GOP Senators)Most Republican senators score in the high 80s–mid-90s. Examples (from available data):

John Barrasso (WY) (~94% Heritage)
Chuck Grassley (IA), Joni Ernst (IA) (~94%)
John Curtis (UT) (~94%)
Bill Cassidy (LA) (high 90s in some metrics)
Marco Rubio (FL), Tim Scott (SC), Katie Britt (AL) (generally strong, though Britt slightly lower in one scorecard at ~78%)
Lindsey Graham (SC) (~76%, but higher on national security)
Many others like Thom Tillis (NC), Shelley Moore Capito (WV) fall here or slightly lower depending on the year.

More Moderate/Least Conservative RepublicansThese have lower scores due to occasional bipartisan votes, institutionalism, or state-specific moderation (e.g., blue/purple states):

Susan Collins (ME) — Often the lowest (e.g., ~18% in one Heritage snapshot; consistently moderate across indices).
Lisa Murkowski (AK) — Frequently among the lowest GOP scores (e.g., mid-50s or lower on CPAC).
Mitch McConnell (KY) (retired or reduced role) — Lower scores in recent years (e.g., 68% CPAC).
Deb Fischer (NE) (~76% Heritage), John Boozman (AR) (~76%), Shelley Moore Capito (WV) (~76%).
Others occasionally noted as relatively moderate: Bill Cassidy (LA) on some votes, John Thune (SD) (leadership role leads to more compromise).

[ArcadeQuarters]

Watch out for younger RINOs filling the gaps.

[j.havenfarm]

I remember so many times over the years piously saying how rat presidents’ are entitled to have their nominees confirmed, while, when the shoe is on the other foot, the rats routinely result to every low trick, lie, and baseless character assassination to prevent GOP nominees from being confirmed

[CarolinaReaganFan]

I agree about Ralph Norman - a good man and conservative.
If Trump isn’t going to endorse Ralph then i hope he just stays out of the senate race. fat chance

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Looking at the list, not a good man to be found. Everyone on that list is a toxic louse.

[mrmeyer]

Im sure his t cell count was even lower

[UnwashedPeasant]

Thune blocking Election Reform is the greatest enemy to MAGA and to the potential survival of Western Civilization.

[Red6]

I didn’t particularly like him.

But I am assuming he meant well, was patriotic, and will respect the legacy he leaves behind.

[Polanski]

I keep saying this, he was a moderate GOP senator. Not the best, not the worst.

There’s a lot worse out there now. Way worse.

[TTFlyer]

The Reaper did what SC voters couldn’t, or wouldn’t, do.

[Jonny7797]

Thanks for posting this info. So many on FR seem to think Graham was a conservative and Trump supporter. He was neither.

[BobL]

You’d think it’s 98% by the attacks I’m getting on the subject. Seems that Graham is the HERO to many here (or at least for his foreign policy), even if they won’t openly admit it.
