Voters Should Tune Out Graham
Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, who has been obsequious in his praise of Trump, went after Lindsey Graham for not doing enough for the president.
“I do not know why anyone in the great state of South Carolina would ever vote for Lindsey Graham. … He has betrayed the American people and his oath of office. … Senator Graham needs to be tuned out in South Carolina.
SC Senate Polls
I see no reason to disbelieve Siena College. Three of the other 4 polls are politically sponsored. But it would not be totally shocking so see Graham booted.
Mish
I agree with Dobbs. Graham and McConnel are both terrible senate leaders. The whole senate GOP is awful. Trump is basically on an island.
I despise McConnell, but he has been very effective in carrying out the policies he wanted to carry out. He blocked Obama’s SCOTUS appointment and then got three of his side’s picks confirmed. He kept Trump from getting impeached. If I were an austerity loving conservative, I’d think he was a great leader.
At least McConnell is the same guy he always was…..he never changed his stripes the way Graham clearly did.
I do wonder what his Chinese in-laws think about him and his Trump support.
Lou Dobbs is angry at Lindsey Graham because Graham has PROMISED for years to hold hearings on the Trump “Russia collusion” witch hunt and on the way Obama/Biden admin schemed and how FBI used Hillary Clinton ordered and paid bogus Steele Dossier full of BS told to Steele by one Russian dude living long term in USA and working for a Democrat thinktank and FBI used Steele dossier and LIED to FISA court to get a warrant to spy on Carter Page thru NSA and then used NSA’s two-hop rule for total surveillance of almost the whole Trump campaign (Two-hop rule: anybody who contacted Carter Page was under surveillance too and anybody who contacted somebody who had contacted Carter Page was under surveillance too) and FBI asked for renewals even while Trump was president and despite the Steele subsource aka the Russian working in a Democrat thinktank telling FBI that the claims were all BS.
Mueller Special Counsel also essentially hijacked DOJ as long as Mueller Special Counsel investigation was going on and Rod Rosenstein rubber-stamped everything they wanted after Sessions had been advised to recuse himself from the Russia Collusion investigation by Obama era DOJ personnel who were part of the Obama/Biden scheming against Trump.
Rod Rosenstein’s wife was a lawyer for the Clintons so Sessions was blind and dumb to have picked him as deputy AG.
When the DOJ Inspector General tried to look at what Mueller Special counsel had done and asked to see their government issued phones the Mueller Team “accidentally” deleted 20+ phones to cover their tracks.
What Obama/Biden did should be really looked at and what Mueller and his team did should be looked at and what FBI did against Trump should be looked at and how FBI gave Clinton a pass by allowing Clinton to pick emails she showed to FBI and Comey giving IMMUNITY to all people around Clinton before FBI interviewed them should be looked at and the Clinton emails are in the control of FBI through Weiner’s laptop because Huma Abedin used it to look at Clinton’s emails and left it to sync emails accidentally so all the Clinton emails, even the ones Clinton deleted are there and the Comey re-start of the investigation was a joke because Strzok did that just like the original email investigation and Strzok was and is a crazy Democrat partisan and they just did some word searches and called it an investigation.
Graham has been all talk and no action but I still hope people vote for him because the Democrat opponent admires Pelosi, Clinton and Bernie as revealed by the interviews he did of them and that he has now deleted.
FBI is totally BROKEN from the top still because they had Hunter Biden laptop since December 2019 and did nothing and just buried it like they did to Clinton emails.
Everything that has been done will be buried if Joe Biden wins that is why Obama, Clintons and FBI leadership are desperate for Joe Biden to win.
Lindsay Graham didn’t see a war he didn’t like, especially in the Middle East. Ending his long career of disservice to US will be hugely beneficial to the US economy. Finally some news with economic subject!
Well, I think he played golf with Trump almost weekly. What more can you do for the guy?
Pundits, influencers, bloggers and twitterers have to make themselves interesting each day or they lose their job and without that most of them wouldn’t even be qualified to drive a truck. It’s this job or living under an overpass so I cut them some slack.
Why Trump Has a Serious Chance of Winning. Really.
Here’s the evidence that Joe Biden isn’t doing that much better than Hillary Clinton.

What’s the point of political pundits with a show on every weekday? Our Founders had strong political opinions and shared them, sure. But they couldn’t imagine having to come up with fresh commentary daily. Further, they’d question the mental ability of voters who needed a daily opinionated lecture about current affairs.
Conclusion? Don’t listen to political pundits, left or right, to make up your mind on how to vote.
This is one of the surest signs that they know there is about to be a disaster. They are turning on each other.
I despise Lady G, but Lou has gone off his rocker.
No worries. Dems likely have a reliable corporatist running against Graham. Often times Dems get candidate who is a registered Republican and switch him to D team in name. And sabotage anyone who’s actually represents working folk instead of corporations and the rich. Very common for Dems to do this. Same old story. Used to read about stuff like that at DownWithTyranny but the story never changes only the names, so got bored.
Forgive me for not feeling sorry for Lindsey Graham. A bigger hypocrite never lived.
SC electing a black Senator is unlikely though. I shall be amazed if Harrison wins.
I have no respect for any Republican who decided Trump’s coattails were more valuable than principles, ethics, or morals. Trump, if he did nothing else, showed us how lacking in those character traits the average right wing political hack truly is.
I doubt any of that crew is banished forever…..the Pompeos and Grahams and Pences and the rest of that lot….will keep re-inventing themselves…..memories are short.
Ummm, speaking of short memories, ya might wanna look at the other existing SC senator (although, in my opinion, he’s white on the inside).
I should remember him. We’re related…or at least he shares my mother’s family name, somehow. There is a lot of that in the South.
What is Lou Dobbs expecting of Graham? Is he supposed to play Stormy Daniels to please Trump? Graham betrayed his best friend McCain and his family to blindly support Donald Trump.
I have no idea why Lou Dobbs is on TV. After CNN fired him it became clear Dobbs is both unstable and a fringe character. He seems to get in a state of arousal anytime Trump speaks. Raises more questions than answers as to why FOX keeps him on the air
That’s what I was going to say. I remember Dobbs being vaguely sane at one time a long time ago. Perhaps he was always goofy and going to Fox just tipped him over the edge – seems to be a requirement there. In any event, he does prove that you can be right for all the wrong reasons.
I remember him on Moneyline back in the 80s and 90s. He had a bull (Myron Kandel – sp?) and a bear whose name I can’t remember. Dobbs seemed to be the voice of reason back then. I enjoyed his show and Louis Rukheiser’s (again, no idea if my spelling is correct). I have no idea what happened to Dobbs – dementia, crazy old uncle disease, etc.
there were signs back then. he was suspended for going rogue. eventually cnn terminated him. i enjoyed him on cnnfn. he’s bonkers now
