What Happened to Lindsey Graham? He’s Become a Conservative ‘Rock Star’
NYT ^ | 11/3/2018 | SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

Posted on 11/03/2018 2:45:31 AM PDT by sodpoodle

Mr. Graham, crisscrossing the country to turn out the Republican vote against the centrist Democratic senators who were once his natural allies, lapped it up. He has been basking in the exaltation of Trump backers ever since his lacerating defense of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. His own transformation from Trump-basher to Trump defender seems complete.

“Mr. Graham, crisscrossing the country to turn out the Republican vote against the centrist Democratic senators”

LMAO!! What exactly is “centrist” about senaturds who oppose changes to Obamacare, voted against Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, and are caught lying on video about their true political aims?

the public is just supposed to forget the 2-week partisan witchhunt of Kavanaugh.

An ugly period in this country’s history making The Crucible and the Communist “witchhunts” pale in comparison.

Actually, if you go and read their material (DNC), then they identify Michael Bennet (CO), Tom Carper (DE), Claire McCaskill (Missouri), Bill Nelson (Florida) , and Jeanne Shaheen of NH....as the centrists or moderates. To be honest though...almost no one knows Carper or Bennet.

They are Centrist in Name Only.

Bloomberg as centrist? What a joke.

The Polaroid snap shots were buried with McCain. Lindsey is now a free man.

Grahamming has become a meme. You grab your tie to straighten it with both hands. There are now pix of it on twitter. Lindsay has bought into it, too.

Maybe the influence of John McCain has been lifted.

Graham has discovered a real man with whom to affiliate himself with now. And it’s bringing out the very best in him.

Let us hope the trend continues. What bothers me, the fact that the change needed to occur in the first place. I for one have lived a conservative life since i was a young boy, i needed no influence to believe things like, freedom is good, my income belongs to me, self preservation is a God given right, abortion is murder...etc.

Lindsey has made me so happy i refuse to slam him until at least the end of the year...no more calling him “Linda” or making lipstick reference...he’s been seeming transformed and becoming an asset....miracles do happen.

I am with you. I liked the Graham who led the impeachment of Clinton, but that person morphed into a weenie. I hope this change in graham is permanent, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
