Earlier this month, former US President Donald Trump chastised Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), referring to his longtime ally as a 'Republican in Name Only' (RINO) after the US lawmaker openly disagreed with him on whether a presidential pardon should be extended to Trump supporters prosecuted for participating in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
Although the Republican nomination is reportedly Donald Trump's "for the taking" in 2024, the former US president should consider adopting talking points that aren't related to his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden, Sen. Lindsey Graham declared, during a Sunday appearance on ABC's "This Week."
"I am not contesting the 2020 election," Graham said, qualifying that there are election reforms that need to happen. "The 2020 election is over for me."
That happens a lot lately. Why? Probably because the FReepers that spout that crap can't make a strong argument and knowing that, resort to the "you're a Dem plant / disruptor /etc".
With people like you WE ALL get the damn RINO government we deserve, NO PAIN NO GAIN!! McConnell and Graham have given us the middle finger and stabbed Trump in the back at EVERY TURN, yet you would STILL vote for them ridiculous utterly ridiculous!! People like you are WHY we NEVER see change on our side!!
Doesn’t matter what Trump says. He has already proven to be the president we need. To be a great president...YOU HAVE TO HAVE MOXY! Most politicians don’t.
decertfing a presidential election is in the constitution, go argue with the founders.
Of course he couldn't. To the extent there was any enthusiasm for Biden himself, it likely would have been from an older demographic that wasn't going to attend rallies anyway.
But more importantly, I know a fair number of people who voted for Biden, and not a one of them was thrilled with the guy. So of course they weren't going to attend rallies. They voted for Biden because they hated Trump, and a lot of them were extremely hyped up for that. Biden was nominated precisely because he was the most inoffensive Dem nominee -- not because he was the most inspiring. He was the least likely to alienate potential Dem voters (unlike Hillary), and therefore the perfect vehicle for a pure anti-Trump vote.
Trump is one of the most polarizing candidates in American history, and that boosted turnout both for and against. I do think there was some illegal vote-stuffing on the Democrat side, but not enough truly hard evidence to quantify it sufficiently.
And I didn't say Trump voters committed fraud. The point was that if you are going to look at variations from historical voting patterns as evidence of fraud, then Trump varied from those patterns as well, and so should be suspected of fraud. I don't buy that, though, for the reasons I gave.
Thanks for the reasoned argument. I am going to end the conversation now, because we will never agreed. I will never understand how such an intelligent person like yourself could possibly believe that there isn’t massive voter fraud in the inner cities. I grew up in Chicago and the most common saying on Election Day was, “Vote Early and Vote Often.” The grave yards of Chicago won many of elections.
Thanks again for today’s conversation and yes I can understand your point of view. Not agreed with of course. :)
