Sen. Lindsey Graham is taking fire from the Right and the Left, a development that has placed the South Carolina Republican in a political quagmire as a challenge to his reelection bid heats up.
Jaime Harrison, Graham’s Democratic opponent, raised more than $20 million during the first six months of the year — enough to mount a credible Senate bid in states far larger than South Carolina. Less than eight weeks before Election Day,
Harrison is using that war chest to flood television airwaves and digital platforms with campaign advertising. Graham has never before faced general-election opposition of this magnitude.
Meanwhile, just after Labor Day, Graham, 65, came under attack from Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The highly rated television commentator, who has cultivated a loyal following among grassroots Republicans, used his prime-time perch to blame Graham for President Trump’s problematic interview with veteran Washington journalist Bob Woodward. Trump acknowledged privately to Woodward that the coronavirus posed grave risks to the United States even as he minimized the threat to the public. Carlson, bewildered that Trump would talk to Woodward, suggested it only happened because Graham brokered the interview.

Yep, Hannity has a soft or blind spot when it comes to Gramnisty.
Jaime Harrison made his DC ‘bones’ by working for the Podesta Group as a Lobbyist for eight years...just saying...

Lindsey undermines Trump at every corner.
Did he name the Whistleblower?
Did he let Hunter be called and questioned?
Did he block Obama from being questioned?
Has he slow rolled the Coup Investigation protecting the FBi and the perps?
Are all Trump’s enemies protected and sleep like babies?
The peeps that defend Lindsey, defended Huber, Sessions, Comey before that, thought there was no harm in appointing Mueller, and want Swamp Rule forever.

Not a prayer of him losing this seat
Trump will pull McSally over the top
I don’t like Lindsey Graham and I’m not fond of our guy in North Carolina Tom Thillis who is up for reelection this year. He’s fully on board with the cheap labor express just like Graham.
But we MUST hold on to the Senate. If Trump wins we need the Senate to continue making progress restoring the courts and to get any treaties through. If god forbid, Trump loses, the Senate is our only line of defense. Holding my nose and voting for Thillis, so be it. That’s what I have to do. The time to take these people out is in the primary.

How does your boy trying to throw the White House fit in with stopping Gun Control?
You better worry about the Presidential race.

I hope you are right and I am wrong. :-)
That said, I do hope the good Citizens of the Great State of South Carolina will re-elect him in a landslide.
The seat is the goal.
Think game, rather than play.

This is just like when we heard now is not the time to call Hunter.
And what harm does it do to appoint Mueller? Should take him 4 weeks.
Don’t criticize Nancy, her own party will take her out.
As long as the Swamp rules, nothing is going to change vis-a-vis corruption.
We will see, i hope so 2
Mcsally needs Trump because she is a rotten campaigner but has been improving
and if Lindsey loses you can say hello to Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer-
Do I even want to know what he’s doing with Biden’s thumb??

It’s illegal in 11 states!

President Trump endorsed Senator Graham. That’s all we need to know. But for those who don’t trust President Trump,...
Democrats are still burning mad about Graham throwing his support to President Trump a long time ago. They just as mad about President Trump endorsing Senator Graham. They’ll do anything to defeat Graham.

It’s driving them crazy.
Trump endorses Graham ahead of South Carolina primary

They’re doing their best to fool South Carolina Republicans into dropping the vote or voting against him.
Sen. Graham, powerful Trump ally, may be ‘in trouble’ with reelection in South Carolina

“Sen. Lindsey Graham is a big deal in Washington. He is chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, a media-savvy Republican leader and golf partner of President Trump...Graham made the pragmatic choice of cozying up to Trump and, at times, fiercely defended the president in the face of tough criticism. The transformation of Graham has irked some disaffected Republicans and independents who view the change as a betrayal of McCain. And now they have a viable alternative in Harrison.”
Losing the Senate majority and the White House is a real possibility. Democrats will confiscate firearms and will not allow anything to be grandfathered in. Neither they nor activist judges care about our Bill of Rights or cases that supported those rights.
Imagine all of the firearms stores and manufacturers being shut down except for those willing to sell only to special interests.
Contrary to the exclamations of some, Walter Mitty won’t go out in a blaze of glory for our Second Amendment rights. He’ll do what neighborhood guys really do in spite of what they saw on TV.
I knew I didn’t want to know.
Now I’ll have nightmares...
President Trump endorsed McCain and Romney, too.
Give Trey Goudy a shot as S.C. Senator .
I am sick of that do nothing douche bag
Lindsey Graham.
I may I say , Lindsey is a girl’s name

Republicans in Romney’s and McCain’s states didn’t give President Trump much to work with. That’s business that should have been dealt with by Republicans in their respective states before primaries. It’s not the politicians’ fault. It’s our fault—every one of us. Every one of us could do more or do it better.
