Lindsey Graham Calls Trump 'Unpopular' as He Touts Republican Win in Virginia
Newsweek ^ | 11/04/2021 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 11/04/2021 1:52:48 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, described former President Donald Trump as "unpopular" while commenting on Republican Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin's win in Virginia.

Youngkin, a businessman who had never run for elected office before, defeated former Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe this week in Virginia, a state that President Joe Biden won by just over 10 points a year ago. While Trump endorsed Youngkin, the GOP governor-elect distanced himself from the former president throughout his campaign in the state.

If Trump is unpopular, what is Lindsey?

Youngkin, better deliver on his promises like Trump and not be like Romney or Lindsey.

Youngkin did a masterful job keeping his election strictly local - all Virginia. The Dems tried to make it national and also tried to make Trump part of the campaign. Youngkin stayed the course - all Virginia. It was a very smart campaign.

Why would you be at a loss for words? Graham has always tried to live down to the “standards” of his mentor, Hanoi John McCain aka Songbird.

Remember how he was so fearful of not being reelected in the 2020 election? I do. He was literally begging for people to send him money and help save his sorry as hell career.

What a complete waste of dna!

The blitz of NeverTrumpers troll making anti-trump comments Tuesday night and Wednesday morning was ludicrous and disgusting. You know that it was a GOPe coordinated effort when a 5hitstick like Sen. Lindsey Graham comes out echoes what we're hearing here along with a coordinated media blitz with coordinated talking points.

I worked for an outfit that was bought by Carlyle.
Although they aren’t necessarily paternalistic, they are full of smart people.
So I’m not surprised Youngkin was a smart guy.

The usual fake news from NewsWEAK?
Yup.

President Trump issuing a smackdown in his own words, and full Trump committment to Youngkin just 36 hours ago:

“I've gotten to know him so well and our relationship is great,” Trump told listeners. “The fake news media would like to say something else, because they'd like our big, giant, beautiful base like there's never been before to not vote as much as they're going to. We have a great relationship and he's a fantastic guy.”
“Glenn Youngkin is a Republican candidate,” Trump said at one point. “And you have so many other great people running, but he's your leader. He's your big Republican leader in Virginia and they're going to listen to him, and they're going to respect him, and you're going to see things happen in Richmond that you wouldn't have believed, especially with regard to taxes and your children's education.”

At another point, Trump returned to a claim he made repeatedly in his losing re-election bid: that Democrats want to “abolish the suburbs,” a phrase that echoes segregationist rhetoric.

“Terry McAuliffe, as you know, he's embraced the far left's plan to abolish and he will literally abolish the suburbs as you know them today,” Trump said. “I fought very hard to help the suburbs and did very well in that regard, but they want to build and do things. ... They want to ban single family home zoning and turn beautiful residential neighborhoods into apartment towers. It's the wrong thing and it's going to change your suburbs forever.”

Trump also hit on “critical race theory,” a phrase Youngkin and other Republicans have seized while protesting against what they see as anti-white curriculum in public schools. Youngkin has attacked McAuliffe for vetoing bills in his previous term as governor that would have allowed parents to opt their children out of lessons involving books deemed to have sexually explicit content. The book at the heart of that debate was “Beloved,” Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the horrors of slavery.

“He actually said, ‘I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should be teaching,’” said Trump, slightly altering a McAuliffe debate response that Youngkin has hammered him with in the race's closing weeks. “Well, that means all of those school boards that are instilled and installed are listening to a lot of angry parents. And we don't want that. We want there to be harmony and peace.”

McAuliffe, whose team has been counting the number of times Trump has endorsed Youngkin in public comments, used Trump's involvement in the campaign's final days to reinforce his principal attack.” - NBC

I think an honest poll would show that Lindsey Graham could not longer win an election for dog catcher.

He also got a Mech Engineering degree and BA in management while playing varsity basketball at Rice. That’s NOT easy to do. Most ballers are on easy course majors.
