Two things kinda jump out at me in this story.
First, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham called the senator “one of the most dependable and solid leaders I have ever known.”
Wow, it’s a good thing he’s not running for re-election, this would be the kiss of death, coming from South Carolina phoney republican.
Second, “Time after time, Republicans nominated unelectable candidates and they look willing to do so again this cycle.”
I don’t who this guy is that said this or what party he works for, but.... this is so true many times. Why is that? The republicans stick duds in there to run against left wing commie socialist. WHY?
