Well, I concede your point on war, especially with our superior air power; however, what about the 2,426 issues he has been correct on. He single handedly got Kavanaugh through confirmation to SCOTUS. Please be fair and share all of his accomplishments if you are going to pick one negative. SC once again has a US Senator chairing the budget committee and that’s a bad thing. Really, it’s time to set aside political disagreements on one issue agendas.
His best reelection chance is to switch parties and come out of the closet.
Graham is the SC version of the Kentucky’s Mitch McConnel problem. They would gripe about him up and down the street but just kept voting him in because he held- and assiduously used- too many strings of power. For a guy who cares about ratings, polls and popularity more than anyone in our lifetime, one would think Trump would not want to wade into endorsing him, but here we are.
Congaree Catfish, I respectfully disagree. I don’t always agree with Graham, but he has held feet to the fire and actually gotten stuff done in DC. Unlike some of our representatives, our two senators have been at the table with their sleeves rolled up. Seriously, could you imagine if Abnormal Ralph Norman had been elected US Senator? He would call for martial law every ten minutes. He definitely wouldn’t propose solutions to problems bc he never passed a bill in SC or DC. You may not agree with Lindsey, but you have to admit he has worked hard for SC.
Freeme, I certainly would agree that Ralph is not an option to consider. And I will say that Graham has delivered on one major thing: getting Trump’s conservative Supreme Court nominees (and lesser appeals court nominees) through the Senate confirmation process. and he’s been “okay” at advocating for our troops in the Senate. But that’s about it, and icoming froma state like SC, we should be able to expect so much more. He never once took a hard stand for any level of fiscal restraint, and he loves foreign wars to such an extent that he is almost like a comic book character.
