Lindsey Graham slammed Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders in the Senate on Wednesday as the House began debate to impeach President Donald Trump a second time.

In a lengthy statement, delivered the day after Graham traveled to Texas with President Trump to visit a new section of the border wall, the senator argued: 'The last thing the country needs is an impeachment trial of a president who is leaving office in one week.'

Graham, a staunch Trump ally, warned another impeachment trial 'could invite further violence' and decried Democrats for wanting to do a 'do-over impeachment.'

I am seriously starting to believe LG has at least two-to-three separate personalities that are triggered by who he’s around.

Or maybe he’s just a flaky flip-flopper and I shouldn’t overthink things ...

“Graham is trying to protect Tim Scott who is on the ballot in 2022 and planning a POTUS run in 2024.”

Tim Scott will be primary in 2022. If he wins the primary SC will vote for the other ticket.

Yes...very perceptive of you. Mrs. Lindsey has a split personality, to say the least.

In car today I heard Mark Styne on Rush show say that he would like to have more than two political parties.

The reason is that with just two parties, you eventually end up with one party! Never thought of that.

Therefore I think we ought to start WeThePeople Party, asap. Also, Dems may be more likely to switch to a new party than changing their registration to the “terrible” Republican Party

Either that, or Linda found out her call-boy for the night was a Trump supporter.

I think the limitation on the size of the House has prevented the formation on third parties. I would like to see the number of reps greatly increased. I believe an increased House handicaps the lobbyists and corporations. Also when increasing the number of representatives limit their staff to only 2 or 3 people. And of course term limit them all, House and Senate.
