Lindsey Graham Is Now Urging Other Republicans to Un-Endorse Trump

On May 23rd, we here at Mediaite ran this headline:

Lindsey Graham Caves, Quietly Tells Fellow Republicans to Get Behind Trump

14 days later, Graham has not only done a complete 180, but he is telling other Republicans to un-endorse Donald Trump.

Yes, just so we’re clear, Graham went from “hell no” on Trump to “eh maybe” on Trump to “okay let’s do this” on Trump to “ABANDON THIS SINKING SHIP WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND DONORS FIRST.”

Graham spoke to The New York Times and made it clear he’s telling Republicans to get out while they still can:

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, another former primary rival of Mr. Trump’s, urged Republicans who have backed Mr. Trump to rescind their endorsements, citing the remarks about Judge Curiel and Mr. Trump’s expression of doubt on Sunday that a Muslim judge could remain neutral in the same lawsuit, given Mr. Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country.

“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy,” Mr. Graham said. “If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” he added. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”

There is no method to recall any Congressman, from any state. It's a federal issue, universal across all the states.

U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995)

The issue in the case was term limits, and the court held that term limits were unconstitutional. As part of the justification for finding the opposite, that term limits are constitutional, the dissent said ...

... once the representatives chosen by the people of each State assemble in Congress, they form a national body and are beyond the control of the individual States until the next election.

They don’t even realize the behavior they are displaying is WHY THERE IS TRUMP.

So much for Linda’a “pledge” to support the GOP nominee. Another man without honor.

That’s the GOPee’s modus operandi, weak, feckless and NEVER stick together on an issue of controversy.

They worship an evil beast and have become like the god they worship, they worship the NWO godless state,

Their religion is that all minorities are good and all whites are not only bad but outright evil, so they become what they worship,

(re: Republicans who aren't traitors to their voting fodder

Your way too pessimistic. I'd wager that out of Governors and US Senators and HOR, there are at least a half dozen who haven't sold out.

I think based on the last 7+ years experience I’m pretty realistic...not pessimistic.

I have six names in mind, actually. But I’m not going to type them out. Don’t want to jinx the thought. <^..^>

Jealous of Pelosi...

“Nancy Pelosi ‘Proud to Endorse’ Clinton for President
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi endorsed Hillary Clinton for president this morning on “Good Morning America” before her home state’s primary today.…”

Can’t believe Linda hasn’t had ‘the operation’ yet!

Need to duplicate the pic, have it facing Graham and put McCains head on it.

The SLIGHTEST controversy makes these republican "leaders" shrink away. No wonder Obama has had to only say "Boo" and they fold like a cheap suit.

How true.

From a month ago.

Trump expects a large number of dissatisfied Democrats will bolt for him.

The obstructionists in the Republican Party are coming out of the closet. I hope Trump has the skills to effectively marginalize all these back stabbers (and loose cannons) that have dug deep into the various departments.
