BREAKING: Lindsey Graham gives his support to President Trump's efforts to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court
Lindsey Graham's Twitter Account ^ | 9/18/20 | Lindsey Graham

Posted on 09/19/2020 11:35:32 AM PDT by Yossarian

Here is the Twitter feed last updated 11 minutes ago from Senator Lindsey Graham:



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

The two biggest changes regarding the Senate and judicial confirmations that have occurred in the last decade have come from Democrats.

#1



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

* Harry Reid changed the rules to allow a simple majority vote for Circuit Court nominees dealing out the minority.

* Chuck Schumer and his friends in the liberal media conspired to destroy the life of Brett Kavanaugh and hold that Supreme Court seat open.

#2



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

In light of these two events, I will support President @realDonaldTrump in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg.

#3



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC

I know Jaime Harrison -- who opposed the Kavanaugh nomination and joined the mob in the destruction of this fine man -- will oppose ANY Trump nominee.

I hope the people of South Carolina know that as well.

#4



Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
US Senate candidate, SC
Replying to @LindseyGrahamSC

Jaime Harrison will be a loyal foot soldier in the cause of the radical liberals to destroy America as we know it.

As to me – I will be part of the Resistance and oppose their radical liberal agenda as they try to fundamentally change America.

I expect Grassley and Sasse to support Mitch. We have the tie breaker with Pence.

“Well gee...that’s might white of you Lindsey. “

Perhaps Graham is trying to score some points with conservatives before his and McCain’s participation in the Russian hoax and Ukraine corruption are spotlighted.

If Barrett is the nominee, and the democrats try to destroy her, I think the independent votes in Maine will bbreak heavily for Collins. If she votes no, she’s likely lose enough GOP support to cost her any chance to win.

Gardner has voted the “Trump line” 89.1% of the time.

There are some higher scores, but 89.1% is pretty decent.

Collins by contrast is at 67%

Who cares, the important thing is that he does the right thing regarding this issue.

As I posted this morning, Graham really had no other choice.

Polls in South Carolina show that Graham has lost the trust and confidence of Independents, and he needs a crisis to try to win them back.

this outs Graham as projecting his fear of not getting re-elected. Per the poles as of yesterday’s news, he and his democrat challenger are virtually tied

Glad I bought a Powerball Ticket.

The Odds are swinging my way.

I doubted Linseed, but we still only have a 2 Vote Advantage in Committee. If just one GOP Vote flips we have a tie.

Not sure if that kills the Nomination..

We need to hear definitive statements from Chuck Grassley, Ben Sasse, Susan Collins, and Mitt Romney

That's for sure...Murkowski says she will not vote to confirm a justice “before the election. However, she arranged to be "not present" during the Kavanaugh confirmation vote. At least, she wasn't able to vote “no” when the chips were down... then... could be the case again...

None of the republicans have a choice in this. If ever a time they need to be united it’s now!

If Barrett is the nominee, and the democrats try to destroy her, I think the independent votes in Maine will bbreak heavily for Collins. If she votes no, she’s likely lose enough GOP support to cost her any chance to win.

I'm reposting an earlier post of why I think Collins is gone.


I think her fate is sealed. Maine voters won't be that fickle that they hate her now but will switch if she votes against.

Look at the recent NYT/Siena poll:

  1. Independents prefer Gideon 50-42. Independents make up 42% of the poll sample.
  2. Gideon's favorable/unfavorable is 55/40. Collins' is 50/47.
    • Among Independents, Gideon is 58/36 and Collins is 48/51.
    • Among Independents, Brett Kavanaugh is 25/49, so I don't think Collins will recover from that vote.
    • Among Independents, Black Lives Matter is 64/29, so Maine has clearly moved away from Collins' leanings.
  3. On the question "Who will do better choosing a Supreme Court Justice," Independents chose Biden over Trump 68/28. Those people won't change their minds on Collins no matter how she votes. They want the Democrat.
  4. On the question "Do you prefer Democrat or Republican control of the Senate," Independents chose Democrats 58/34. Collins is gone no matter what she does.

At this point, Collins should be thinking about legacy. I hope she doesn't want to be compared to John McCain, whose lasting legacy is voting down Obamacare repeal just to spite President Trump, Americans be damned.

Collins should take the high road and vote to secure the leaning of the Supreme Court for the next three decades.

I think you’ll find Rand Paul is among the lowest and yet he is best friends with Trump!

Why? Because Rand votes against any spending bills and they include those votes..

Good. One chalk up another positive vote. We still have a few questions - Gardner, Collins, Earnest. We just need one of those to confirm and we can ram this through in October.

He and a few others are going to play their drama rolls.....to make us all believe they're working it....but each one that holds out wants gravy for their state. This is not the time, nor is their time, to play that horseshoe game.

“It’s possible that Trump, Mitch and Lindsey all know the Dems will overstep like they did with Kavanaugh”

Democrats will not be able to stop their base from rioting in the streets and generally behaving as a farcical, revolutionary force.

It doesn’t get any better than this.

God his own self is establishing a confluence of events very, very favorable to Donald Trump.
