What Happened to Lindsey Graham? He’s Become a Conservative ‘Rock Star’

NYT ^ | 11/3/2018 | SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

[sodpoodle]

Mr. Graham, crisscrossing the country to turn out the Republican vote against the centrist Democratic senators who were once his natural allies, lapped it up. He has been basking in the exaltation of Trump backers ever since his lacerating defense of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. His own transformation from Trump-basher to Trump defender seems complete.

Exactly. FR has become hijacked by people who believe this article. They won’t hold him accountable for his record. Clearly The Construction and Bill of Rights, as written,are not in their principle beliefs. Grahmnesty is even worse than a centrist, he is a liar. What he is saying does not equal his record and his proposed legislations.

I think the farce the rats made of the Kavanaugh nomination put him and millions of decent, law-abiding Democrats on demexit.

What happens to him ? His soulmate McCain is dead. He lost his guide

[DoodleDawg]

He wants Mattis’s job.

[BRL]

Lindsey wants the 2024 GOP nomination

[Wallace T.]

To the enemedia, a centrist is someone who is someone to the right of Stalin. Also, the so called center has drifted leftward. Men like Scoop Jackson or Richard Proxmire, centrist Democrats of 40 years ago, would be considered moderate conservatives today.

What happened to him? McCain died.

[democratsaremyenemy]

McCain is dead.

It's dangerous to trust Lindsey Graham. He's getting too much praise for finally doing something helpful on certain issues, after years of being a weak establishment RINO. I like a lot of what he's been doing lately, but he still opposes most of the MAGA agenda when it comes to some of the most important issues. He's not with us on foreign intervention, trade, or immigration. We know that because he has a long history of being wrong on those issues. We shouldn't give him more respect than he deserves. I hope he continues to a do better job than before, but I already know the kind of politician he is. Graham needs to be defeated in his next primary. We have to replace the establishment RINOs in republican primaries, or they will eventually stab us in the back and destroy everything we've achieved. MAGA!

Graham has the hutzpa. He just wasn’t using it. Now that he is out of McCains orbit things have improved a bit.

His Sith Master died and he came back to the light side.

That’s a pretty accurate description. Or maybe Lindsay found a new BF? Either way, he can be very effective when he puts his mind to it.

Bingo! It’s about that.

Zell Miller?

Lindsey DGAF:

[JPJones]

If the NYT’s is slamming Linda, that’s a very good sign.

Let’s give credit where credit is due:

He played a hugh role in getting Kav nominated.

Same goes for Collins.

When rino’s rebuke their rinoism, they should be praised.

[snoringbear]

“I am a Conservative. He’s not my Rock Star.”

Actually, I’ve noticed a distinct shift to the right by Lindsey since his handler has departed. He appears to be much happier now. Good for Lindsey...

[VanDeKoik]

He earned his kudos for helping save a SCOTUS pick. And did it with conviction.

A lot of so-called real conservatives in the Senate didn’t do jack $**t.

If he continues on this track, then he will earn a lot more praise.

I’ve always been a critic of that guy in the past, but he has my attention, and I’m not going to get in the way if that is where he wants to go.
