It doesn’t appear that Lindsay is too worried about alienating conservatives.
“The overwhelming majority of conservatives and independents appreciate the fact that their elected leaders are trying to solve hard problems,” Graham said.
There is so much wrong with that statement.
It is my opinion that Lindsay tries to play the system to accomplish what he considers to be conservative things. He reminds me of Trent Lott when he was Senate Majority Leader. As a result, he has to consort with the enemy (Democrats).
Unfortunately, the Democrats are not trustworthy partners. They will take what you give them and give nothing in return. Additionally they are notorious liars and will double cross you with premeditation.
Lindsay's attempts at bipartisanship usually backfire on him and the conservatives who elect him.
