Agree with Dobbs but not on this timing... let the red wave subside and get some more R in the Senate first. N

““Graham has betrayed President Trump at almost every turn,” Dobbs said”

That is a lie. Graham is no Trump clone and has an independent streak. However he has often been helpful to Trump.

We need every Senate seat we can get right now. Lou Dobbs has lost his mind.

The time to oppose people like Graham is in the primary. To suggest electing a Dem would be an improvement is just plain crazy. I like Lou Dobbs, but he is off base here.

Ditto - and I'll be more blunt. Lou is outta his fricken mind to insinuate he prefers a democrat. It's a little late, Lou, to come out bashing Graham at the 11th hour.

Lou is right. Graham is a sleazy prevaricator who is, in all probability, part of the DC cabal against Trump.

So Lou... it appears you want people to elect a democrat to the Senate. That leaves only a three man Republican majority in the Senate. Do you want to risk having Schumer as Senate Majority Leader who will pack the courts and destroy the country?

Dobbs is a fumbling, mumbling fool... about as lucid as Biden.

I honestly think Graham would have been much better off if
he had never met John McCain. McCain’s twisted logic about
what was best for the nation always rubbed me the wrong
way, and Lindsey seemed to be his side-kick.

I’ve been very leery of him ever since.

I’ve gotten donation requests... they are filed in the trash
as soon as I realize what they are.

Too many times I’ve seen him open his yap, and insert his
foot. Your on your own Lindsey...

Don’t want to lose the seat, but having you primaried would
be an excellent move.

Much as I hate to say it, I'm siding with linda on this one.

I watch Lou {via DVR} every day, but he is wrong in trying to dump linda in the general election.

We can not have another demonRAT senator.

Graham did have three primary challengers, Lou. Which one did you endorse again?

That was the problem, THREE CHALLENGERS SPLIT THE VOTE.

The demonRATs control their puppies and only go after someone that crosses them {that is before the AOC +3 communists revolution}.

Even the demonRATs don't know what to with the communists.

If by “most times democrats don’t run a candidate against Graham” you meant “They run a candidate against him every single time” then you are correct.

As for his primary challengers, they’ve been weak and had no hope against Graham open primary or not. This year he had only token opposition because THE PRESIDENT ENDORSED HIM. He got 2/3s of the primary vote.

More conservative members of the House delegation who might have been able to beat Graham in the primary have shyed away from running.

Graham’s actions and non-actions strongly suggest that he was a willing coup participant.


Correct. Graham started Trump’s first term being a key player in the Democrat take over of the Trump DOJ and ended by blocking any substantive Senate action against the ongoing Big Tech censorship and GOP vote suppression. Who needs Democrats with Republicans like Lindsay Graham?

Lindsey Graham- the boy that cried Subpoena.

No one believes him anymore.

I’d like to see him primaried. But for now it’s Graham.

However, once Graham won the primary, there is no choice to support him in every way, lest we let a dem in. Dobbs spoke out of turn.


Is that what the GOP establishment does when they get a primary candidate they don’t like? Of course not. The GOPe is happy to campaign for progressive Democrats to the detriment of GOP candidates.

Look what they did to Trump. Or Roy Moore with Obamacare repeal on the line. Or many other GOP primary winning candidates that were not Chamber of Commerce approved. Given that I see no reason to blanket endorse every bit of beltway sewer flotsam and jetsam.

Lindsay Graham has done great harm to President Trump’s first term and deserves to lose for that. It’s that simple.

“I think people in South Carolina understand why it’s important for me to get re-elected,” Graham said.

I don't understand Dobbs, who I thought was a rational and intelligent republican. I'm not a big fan of Graham but consider the democrat alternative - Jaime Harrison. Harrison is a democrat who is pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, pro-teachers-unions, anti-fossil fuels, blames Trump for Covid-19.......

Republicans who refuse to vote for moderate republicans in a general election deserve to be ruled by evil democrats.

To steal a line from the Stones, "You can't always get what you want but if you try sometime, ya just might find, ya get what ya need."

We need all the republican senators that we can get!! Graham is not an ideal conservative but he is head and heals a better choice that a baby-killing democrat like Jaime Harrison.

Does anyone really believe Graham is nothing less than compromised swamp scum that should be investigated right along with all the rest?
Corruption is still corruption even if it has an R next to it.

Or are there 2 tiers of justice?


Exactly Correct. Does anyone really believe Lindsay Graham won’t be the first Republican Senate committee chairman to abandon POTUS should the election be disputed?

Graham is a Uniparty snake. He does not represent the people of South Carolina. He represents the Chamber of Commerce. He’ll happily shank POTUS again when the moment is right. Guaranteed.

How about elected Republicans who refused to support POTUS in 2016? Lindsay Graham was just fine with Hillary and her potential SCOTUS. Therefore, I care exactly as much about Graham’s election as he cared about President Trump.
