Liberal firebrand Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Trump-allied Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are set to square off next month in a policy debate at a full-size replica of the United States Senate in Boston.

The debate series is the brainchild of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) who is hoping to rekindle the Senate’s tradition of debate and collegiality, which many senators feel has gotten lost in recent years as the use of filibusters has become more common to block debate.

One old idiot debating another old idiot. Bring Biden to the party and make it a trifecta.

Two morons who don’t represent the vast majority of Americans. Sounds like a scintillating evening of BS.

Tom Daschole was one of the MOST partisan hacks to have ever existed in the senate. My family rejoiced when that clown was “retired” from the senate only to be bummed out to see John Thune turn into a slime ball RINO. A super red state like South Dakota should only be sending rocked ribbed conservatives, not squishy milquetoast.

Brilliant! A do-nothing senate that spews platitudes while it does nothing.

Just as an aside, I live in MA, and if you ever get the chance to visit the Kennedy Library and the Ted Kennedy building right next door, the full Senate replica is AMAZING! You can sit at the desks and in the galleries.

“Trump-allied Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)”

I might call Graham many things but ‘Trump-allied’ isn’t one of them. He is all over the map.
