South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham sent GOP Leader Mitch McConnell a very clear message Wednesday night: Get on board with Donald Trump or get out.
Asked by Fox's Sean Hannity about the "swampiness" of the Kentucky senator, Graham answered this way:
"Elections are about the future. If you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship with Donald Trump. Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? He is the most consequential Republican since Ronald Reagan. It's his nomination if he wants it. ... Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? ...
"I am not going to vote for anybody for leader of the Senate as a Republican unless they can prove to me that they can advocate an 'America First' agenda and have a working relationship with Donald Trump because if you can't do that you will fail."

weird
hes not up for reelection til 2026
is lindsey running for majority leader?
Graham is trying to GOTV for the midterms. He’s sharp enough to know the base hates McConnell.
It’s all Kabuki Theater.
Prolly right. An opportunistic play for Graham which is typical of him.
There were reports after the last election that Mitch was going to step down early. Wonder what happened to that?
Mitch is like Pelosi. Wants to hang around forever.
I think his very low approval ratings are finally working against him.
I sure do and those hearings and investigation will start any day now. You just wait.
You’ll have the chance to decide on holding your nose again when Andy Beshear (D) runs for senator after being governor.
If Donald Trump comes back like I hope he does and brings a wave of actual non-GOPe/RINOs with him, I think there’s a good chance of that.
It would be too much for them
Why can’t they both go away. Forever.
Mitch tried to get the KY legislature to pass a bill cutting the Gov out of appointing a successor, I believe it failed.
Linda makes promises he never keeps.
