Sen. Lindsey Graham is taking fire from the Right and the Left, a development that has placed the South Carolina Republican in a political quagmire as a challenge to his reelection bid heats up.
Jaime Harrison, Graham’s Democratic opponent, raised more than $20 million during the first six months of the year — enough to mount a credible Senate bid in states far larger than South Carolina. Less than eight weeks before Election Day,
Harrison is using that war chest to flood television airwaves and digital platforms with campaign advertising. Graham has never before faced general-election opposition of this magnitude.
Meanwhile, just after Labor Day, Graham, 65, came under attack from Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The highly rated television commentator, who has cultivated a loyal following among grassroots Republicans, used his prime-time perch to blame Graham for President Trump’s problematic interview with veteran Washington journalist Bob Woodward. Trump acknowledged privately to Woodward that the coronavirus posed grave risks to the United States even as he minimized the threat to the public. Carlson, bewildered that Trump would talk to Woodward, suggested it only happened because Graham brokered the interview.

I guess Lindsey Graham is better than a Communist but just barely.
He deserves to lose, but we need the seat.
Now THAT is an interesting conundrum. Keep El Blammo Graham-o? Although he did well during the Kavanaugh hearings, he’s not very trustworthy.
Or do we dump him and let the Democrat bring his gangrenous presence into the Senate?
Colluding with McCain will do that to you. Linda is a treacherous little ass that has created this situation.
He will win by 10 pts.
Linds’, old boy, I’ve had it up to HERE with all your unfulfilled promises. Maybe it’s time to give someone else a chance to help the president.
You were helpful with Judge Bret, see, I didn’t forget,
but you have been part of the unofficial footdragging committee when it comes to going after those who spied on this administration and continue in trying to sabotage it.
Thank you for your service.
Now, go have a wee sip of Moonshine.
If Lindsey wins I’ll think, oh well at least we hold the seat.
If Lindsey loses I’ll think, oh well at least Lindsey is gone.
Such a delimma.

Lindsey Graham serves the Dems.
His dream is for his good friend Biden to win.
He’s a sleazy politician that just Lies and knows the media will have his back when blocks Investigations of Biden and the Whistleblower that he was too over-feminized to name, even.
He protected and defended Comey, then Mueller, he claims today that Mueller was the right man for the job, and he has encouraged the Military brass that he befriended with McCain to oppose Trump at every corner.
Nothing is going to get better with this guy as the Republican Leader. The Dems won’t allow him to be defeated.

Lindsey Graham battling for reelection against well-funded Democrat
________________________________________________
Just our luck. Why couldn’t Lindsey be battling for reelection against a well-funded Republican?
As annoyed as I am with Lindsey, I can’t bring myself to vote for Jamie Harrison.I am afraid of how that will affect overall seats.
So Lindsey gets some more chances to redeem himself. He did do well with Kavanaugh. So at least that is something.
Maybe turn the Senate over to the Democrats. Brilliant!
OMG - I just signed on to write “he deserves to lose”!
He hasn’t done anything to help Trump. You would never know Republicans had any authority on the judicial committees, with Graham in charge. He has literally done nothing to help our side.
Flimsey Grahamnesty will be pushing amnesty as soon as he is re-elected.
He’s a Bush League Republican.
Never going to be on our side.
Lindsey will win but McSally will lose, taking down Trump in Arizona.
Noooooooooooo! Bite your tongue!
We’ll have to do what is necessary. As long as a way can be found to hold his feet to the fire.
