I’ll never respect McCain as a person, as a legislator, as a military person, as an American or as a Patriot. He’s failed in all categories. I’m certainly happy he’s left our domain. Better there than here.

Graham has burned us before. Whether he rediscovers his RINO roots after the election or not, he is most definitely on a role working for us and the president.

I hope Team Trump realizes that Lindsey does this every time he has to endear himself to the SC voters in order to slither through another reelection.

Yes, we've seen this play before. But like Lucy van Pelt and Charlie Brown, the voters will fall for it again.

Aren’t they admitting that the people love Trump?

The first time I saw Trump was at his first rally at Sun City Hilton Head. He gave us Lindsey Graham’s mobile phone number. Graham had called him for financial campaign support and but was now dissing him. In my mind Graham will never live down that hypocracy with Trump. I voted against him last time, I’ll vote him down this time too. He is what he is, little matter what he says he is. Democrats and RINOs do that.

But wait , I thought Trump was poison? Nobody wants Trump tied to them? Why would Graham be hoping Trump gets him reelected?

Regardless of the source, Trump should be wary about Graham, especially on immigration and national security. He is still a McCain acolyte.

During Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh's contentious confirmation battle, Graham snapped at his Democratic colleagues for what he said was the biggest "unethical sham since I've been in politics," a moment that was largely seen as a public opportunity to side with Trump in a battle that had divided Republicans behind the scenes.

No Lauren. It was “largely” seen as a naming that circus for what it was — unethical and a sham.

Only the leftist media and a handful of freaks thought it otherwise...

Who ever thought a politician had principles other than self-preservation?

“Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is stuck once again between a President whose support he needs to win re-election and his lifelong friendship with the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, who encouraged all to put country first.”

That is all B.S. McCain sold himself as the kind of guy that CNN just described, but as a politician that is not what John McCain did most often. Most often as a politician, McCain put himself first, doing what he thought would advance himself, taking positions he thought would advance himself. It was not about U.S. first, it was about John McCain first.

Maybe Graham sees Trump actually walking the walk, unlike so many fake GOP conservatives-in-name-only. If nothing else, Graham has to love Trump's judicial nominees.

I think that Graham finally realized that John McCain was all about John F@(KING McCain, as demonstrated by his plans for his funeral/memorial/idolization after his death!

Anyone that doesn’t KNOW that was who John McCain was, after that week-long debacle, is just being willfully ignorant!

Also, when McCain could have cast the deciding vote to disable Obamacare, he made a big show of it by waiting until last and then, with a big grin on his face while facing the cameras, voted NO and held out the thumb-down sign!

Big ego with no character, same as many others in Congress.
