The irony of Always Trump and Never Trump coming together to oust Lindsey is that … we’ll fail. I’ve thought from the start that SC is simply too red to elect Harrison, even with all of his money. Last week the NYT found Graham up a comfortable six points there, 46/40. Other polls have had Harrison slightly ahead, but FiveThirtyEight still gives Graham a three-in-four chance of winning (which frankly seems low). I think the Times has the outcome more or less right. I’d guess Graham 50, Harrison 45 or thereabouts on Election Day.
Here’s your exit quotation, which is getting attention on social media today for its sheer wackiness. Between this and Dobbs trying to oust a Trump crony from his Senate seat, the next 10 days at Fox are shaping up to be pretty wild.

Likely a vote against putting a Dem in the seat. Not really a vote for Lindsey.
Linda may be a lap poodle but at least he’s our lap poodle when ‘R” votes are needed in the Senate
The faggot needs to win over any democrat. The people of SC need to remove him in the primaries. But he has them hornswoggled what with a military background.
Simple, we want to keep the senate.
Lou, Lou, Lou. Do you want Schumer sitting in Lindsey’s seat at the next SCOTUS hearing? I DON’T.
Yep. Get rid of LG in the primaries.
RINO Subversion: Lou says it’s time to tune out Lindsey Graham after the senator said he will not subpoena Twitter & Facebook’s CEOs until after the election.

Because the worst Republican is preferable to the best Democrat.
In other times we could quibble, look at ways to punish the Romney, S. Collins and Murkowski types who hurt more than help one time but sometimes help again later. Kavanaugh, budgets, impeachment-——what could we do without a Senate majority?
We can’t afford that luxury of gradations of ideology this time. We need a majority. Someone “GOP” has to win.
This is really for all the marbles.
Every loss of a GOP in House or Senate is a nail in the coffin of our constitutional republic and free country.
Being stricly true to ideals will mean all our future votes will be symbolic throwaway votes like Liberarians (no offense) who merely tip the scales against GOP to empower the Left more strongly again. We don’t have any luxuries now.
RIght. But the primary, and even before the primary for the purpose of lining up a decent GOP opponent, was when this message should have been shouted far and wide.
Now such preening is simply risking handing the Senate to the Dems.
The time to get rid of Graham was in 2014. His opposition was disjointed, however, thinking that if they ran a bunch of opponents that was the best way to defeat him by keeping him under 50% and forcing a runoff. That just resulted in their being zero cohesive message for why voters should move on to another candidate (not to mention all of the candidates were incredibly weak and unimpressive) and Graham was able to win fairly easily in the crowded field - it was still a poor showing for an incumbent among his own party, indicating he was in fact vulnerable if a good candidate had actually emerged to challenge him one on one.
But that didn’t happen...and we have to live in the real world, not the one we wished existed. Graham keeps us from having a Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. That may be the only rationale for voting to re-elect him, yes, but it is a big one. If Trump were to lose that would prevent packing the courts, making DC a state, and a slew of other things. Those are big things. Unfortunately he would probably revert back to being Grahamnesty as well under that scenario, which is also a big thing, but so would his Dem opponent...and you would also get the court packing, DC a state, etc. along with it. Obviously the ideal scenario to prevent all of this is for Graham to be re-elected as well as President Trump.
Can you point to any time in our past when those admonitions wouldn’t apply?
Collins, along with being corrupt like the rest of them, is another case in that Maine would never back a nationwide style of Republican.
But the likes of Her Murkiness and the Graham cracker need to be dealt with earlier in the election cycle than this.
I totally agree agree!
In past month or so I’ve seen/heard Graham on TV/radio. In EVERY instance he has given out his website and asked that people SEND HIM MONEY. He says he is in the fight for his life.
Who would have ever thought??? I don’t know what is going on in SC but Graham is scared to death. And he may lose the election.
The GOP is useless we always have to vote for these RINOS....If Trump wins they will do nothing to help him...except judges..
This country will be Venezuela in ten years..fourteen if Trump is elected..
The only thing that can save it is normal working democrats..not the GOP
Hell it is the democrats that got Trump elected in 2016
Because he’s not the democrat.
He really needs to be primaried - he’s crooked. Talks a good game, but when the rubber meets the road, he seldom has any traction.
Well the fool has done nothing but TALK...
