Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) on Wednesday warned fellow Republicans that if they try to “erase Donald Trump from the party, you’re going to get erased.”
“I hope people in our party understand the party itself,” he told Fox News hours after President Joe Biden was sworn-in.

You know something? We want to win this. Winning means working together.
You may not like Graham, but he’s absolutely right on this.
Pay attention to the message, not the messenger. And in any case Graham has been very supportive of Trump lately, so I’d say he’s seen the light.
You work together with people you trust, not with snakes in the grass.
Who is Lindsey Graham?
The Senate is irrelevant right now, it’s going to take years to get control of it, if it happens.
The Rats should get more control of it in 2022, best to just allow as many of the old fart GOPers to fade into the sunset.
The hope is to get the House in 2022, and force gridlock for the last two years of this administration.
Where was he when it counted?
Every single Republican in DC is tainted.
I would just as soon vote every single one of them out, and start fresh.
The constitutionally undefined political parties have wrecked the constitutional republic and need to be constitutionally prohibited imo.
In the meanwhile, I will be among the first to register for Trump’s so-called patriot party.
Is he going to be on Handittome on Faux News tonight?
What lying price of trash....
Linda Gramnesty!
I really think Trump hinted at some cabinet spot (AG?) in 2024 for Linda when they met a couple of weeks ago. Ever since then he has been a different man.
GOP is trying to coopt the Trump trademark. Screw the pubbies.
THORAZINE IS BACK!
Linda’s people are looking at the polls and telling him what they are seeing the chatter on Conservative social media. He’s known best for following behinds. I mean leading from behind.
Wow,another do nothing Repub. AG, how exciting.
P.S. Linda is the same backstabbing POS he always was, and will be.
Well if Trump can use him as a useful idiot for a while, thats fine with me.
An expletive I reserve for dire situations: ‘Hey Graham...”STFU”...’
He can’t get enough of Trump’s “athletic golf swing”.
Ummm, I hate to break the news to you, but Graham JUST got re-elected, Trump is no longer in power, and Graham won't be up again until 2026, an off-year election six years from now where whatever happens in 2024 won't affect his Senate campaign, and whatever he said in Jan. 2021 will be long forgotten.
Going your own logic, now should be the IDEAL time for him to "pivot left" and loudly divorce himself from Trump.
I certainly don't recall McCain singing George W. Bush's praises AFTER Bush was out of office, McCain had been re-elected, and Obama was the new POTUS.
To all those who say that the Left is kicking our butts, and they’re not the least bit scared of us. You are just playing into exactly what they want you to believe. The people have the power. The only issue is how effectively we mobilize.
As much as Biden’s puppet masters want to go right back to Obama’s policies, keep in mind that the Democrats don’t run everything all by themselves. This is a Uniparty, and more than anything else, the Uniparty are incrementalists. Even Obama is an incrementalalist.
They prefer to push their ideas slowly, but steadily over time, and soften us up. And the Kabuki theater that the two parties engage in, where they pretend to fight each other, is a way for them to feel us out and see what were ready to accept or not accept.
This is a dance that I call the Uniparty incrementalalist 3 step..... one step forward toward progressivism (Democrat push), one step back towards Conservatism (GOP push back), and then one more step forward towards Progressivism (GOP capitulation to “compromise”). So the end result of this 3 step dance is the country winds up moving a little bit more towards progressivism. And they keep repeating this dance over and over again and slowly moving us more to the left.
But make no mistake that Trump’s Presidency moved them back several steps. And now they want to make up for lost ground. But don’t think for a minute that they are not looking over their shoulder to see how mobilized the MAGA movement is, now that Trump is no longer President.
Lindsey is a snake, but he’s a good bellwether. We shouldn’t trust him, but we should pay attention to him. His moves tell us a lot.
