Lindsay Graham is considering a run for president. This is the guy that is famous for "reaching across the aisle" and being a model example of a RINO, only to suddenly become ultra conservative at election time so that his idiot base will vote for him.

Pretty sure this is proof that God hates us all.

If he has to give up his senate seat to run.. Then it's all to the good.  And this time we'll elect someone more conservative.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

McCain has been pushing him. A good lesson to all the folks whining about those of us who refused to vote for him.

Please Nikki Haley run! I haven't heard much bad about her and it would asplode all the heads of the SJW Hillary supporters. Sadly, the attacks on a conservative minority 1st generation American woman would be unprecedented in their nastiness.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I follow SC politics pretty closely.  Trust me when I say Nikki Haley is nothing, repeat nothing, like her image.  She is as disingenuous a politician as I've ever encountered.

There is a reason Graham is wanting to  play front man.  I don't know what the reason is but rest assured a politician used to his comfortable DC interviews is giving up a lot of safety by going out on the campaign trail where he will no doubt be treated to raw comments about a number of his position.  This move on Lindsey's part is not his idea.  His handlers are pushing him out.  It remains to be determined the ultimate reason.

No politician is so bad that you can't find worse . . .
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

There are 535 people who wake up in the morning look in the mirror and think they would look even better sitting behind the desk in the oval office.
