Conservatives should be wary of aligning themselves against a successful Republican senator. If conservatives back the wrong horse, they’ll appear marginalized and irrelevant to Republican politics. Heed the lesson of the libs and Ned Lamont. Conservatives must not fracture the Republican base over this issue, that would ensure a secure Democrat majority.

I remember Henry Bellmon a staunch Republican Senator from Oklahoma making the same mistake of going against the base of his party to vote for Jimmy Carters Panama treaty give away.

Bellmon paid dearly for that mistaken vote.

He, explained it away by saying he had no choice because Carter forced him to go against the home folks.

Graham still has a choice but his smug Napoleonic ego and know it all attorney Mike Nifong elitists attitude makes him care not one tinkers damn for his voter base.

It’s not my fault that Graham is naive enough to have jumped the shark that will eventually eat his lunch.

Just the lowly opinion of a red state wannabe.
