Lindsey Graham's Hypocrisy Will Doom Him!

I'm getting the feeling that Lindsey Graham is regretting his previous remarks.

After denying Barack Obama his pick to replace Antonin Scalia, the Republican Party now about faces on the rule they've set only a mere four years ago. Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Friday leaving a vacancy that Donald J. Trump is obligated to replaced. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has decided that the "American people want the Supreme Court nominee confirmed."

I can only imagine how many death threats are heading into the Republican mailbox and emails right now. Because their shameless hypocrisy will doom us all.

Democrats chose to set in motion rules changes to stack the court at the Circuit level and they chose to try to destroy Brett Kavanaugh’s life to keep the Supreme Court seat open.

You reap what you sow.

If I wanted to really go there .... #SissyLindsey

Lindsey Olin Graham, the longtime South Carolina Republican senator is statistically tied with his opponent Democrat, Jaime Harrison in a closely watch race. At first we had it a LIKELY REPUBLICAN.

Now I call the odds in TILT REPUBLICAN. It should scare the bejesus out of Graham.

Republicans are going to scramble in the last few weeks of the election. The Republicans will not honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg's request to hold off the replacement after the election. The Republicans will have 52 Senators and Mike Pence just in case to log through a federal judge to become a Supreme Court nominee.

Let's send Lindsey home. Jaime Harrison is determined to win a seat that Republican held on for decades.

Trump has signaled he'll get a female nominee confirmed.

In a now viral video, Graham stated

“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." pic.twitter.com/quD1K5j9pz

"I want you to use my words against me. If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination."

Graham ignores his previous stances. He claims the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation controversy "woke him up." Nevermind that he got Neil Gorsuch confirmed and denied Merrick Garland a place on the Supreme Court.

His words will come back to haunt his dumb ass.

A Quinnipiac University poll of the state released this week — the second in a little more than a month — showed Graham and Harrison running neck and neck at 48 percent each.

In the two days since then, Harrison has pulled in a staggering $2 million, adding to an already massive $10.6 million haul in August alone. And in a sign that national Democrats are eyeing the race with greater enthusiasm, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced a new seven-figure cash injection in the state.

"There's a lot of momentum on the ground here and it's so great and it's so encouraging," Harrison said in an interview on Friday. "When I first got into this race and people told me that I couldn't do this, my whole statement to them is 'Watch me,' and that's exactly what we're doing."

The combined weight of the recent polling and Harrison's staggering fundraising totals has fueled optimism among Democrats, who see in South Carolina a chance to widen their path to a Senate majority in November.

"It says to me that the battlefield is expanded, and it also says that no one can afford to ignore this race," Antjuan Seawright, a South Carolina-based Democratic strategist, said.

"When Jaime entered this race, I think there was a serious case of infrastructure building and building a case, and now I think all of that is finalized, and we're finally at the place where we have something," he added.

The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, currently rates the contest in South Carolina as "Lean Republican." On Friday, another handicapper, Inside Elections, moved the race in Harrison's direction, shifting it from the "Likely Republican" column to "Lean Republican."

One Democrat familiar with the race acknowledged that South Carolina remains “fundamentally a tough state” for Democrats to win statewide but noted two encouraging signs for the party down ballot: Rep. Joe Cunningham’s (D-S.C.) 2018 victory in a congressional district that Trump carried by 13 points and Democrat Spencer Wetmore’s win last month in a deep-red state House district outside Charleston.

Graham’s campaign has downplayed recent polls showing the race deadlocked. After the Quinnipiac poll showing the two candidates tied at 48 percent came out this week, Graham’s campaign noted that the survey had included too few GOP voters and too many Democrats.

Harrison dismissed that criticism, pointing to internal polling from his campaign that showed the race in a dead heat.

“I’m sure his internal polls are just like my internal polls, and they’re showing us neck and neck,” Harrison said.

Democrats’ line of attack against Graham has focused on painting the three-term senator as an out-of-touch politician whose tight embrace of Trump and subsequent lurch to the right since 2016 put him at odds with a vast swath of South Carolina voters, many of whom supported his last reelection bid six years ago.

Graham, meanwhile, has sought to play up his close ties to Trump and has hit Harrison over his past work as a lobbyist for the Podesta Group, the firm founded by Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman John Podesta.

This is what Republicans do.... It's the same tired formula of scaring voters with Hillary Clinton, socialism and the so-called hypothetical lawmaker. 

Graham is a tired old white man who has limited accomplishments as a Congressman and Senator. He was once considered a deal-maker. Now he's a...................dick sucker! 

Trump's biggest!

Send this Republican home.

VOTE FOR JAIME HARRISON

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS.
