Trump Defends Lindsey Graham After Boos At South Carolina Rally

[Cap]

So the question that comes to my mind is, Is Miss Lyndsey part of the swamp?

President Donald Trump defended Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) after attendees booed the Republican senator at a campaign event in South Carolina.
Speaking to a crowd of several hundred at Sportsman Boats in Summerville, South Carolina on Sept. 25, President Trump was introduced by Gov. Henry McMaster, one of the earliest political figures to endorse President Trump's re-election bid.

Before turning to his speech, President Trump opened with remarks about several well-known South Carolina figures—including Mr. Graham, a controversial figure among Republicans with some believing he is too left-wing.
"[A] man who's always there, I tell you what, when I need help on the left, he's great," President Trump said. "And he's my friend too—Lindsey Graham."
At this, the crowd erupted into boos, indicative of the dissatisfaction many South Carolina Republicans have long expressed with Mr. Graham.
President Trump, however, defended Mr. Graham, an erstwhile critic turned ally to the president.
"No, no," President Trump responded to the boos. "He helps me on the left. We need help sometimes. Republicans shouldn't need help, but he helps them."

Trump is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Mere politicking.

Anyone putting their faith in this guy will be sorely disappointed. He's not going to save you.

Somewhere in the abyss of hell, John McCain just smiled.

Cmon man. Clearly we are being distracted by the little sparkly things and have zero ability to see Trump's big play.

Ron has said much the same about Kucinich who has a much more anti-liberty record.

Blacks don't like Graham. They call him a cracker.

Gotcha, ally with Miss Lyndsey and throw Masse out. Right?

In an attack against a member of his own party, Trump called Rep. Thomas Massie a "third rate Grandstander" and claimed the Kentucky Republican "just wants the publicity" after threatening a roll-call vote, which would require members travel back to the US Capitol to vote in person...

...He added, "WIN BACK HOUSE, but throw Massie out of Republican Party!"...

I didn't agree with that.
But it was meaningless politicking as well, he has praised Massie since then.

He has also attacked Graham before.

Flip flops make you proud?

Tell the truth. You were a secret Romney fan, just for the indecisiveness, right? Because you sure do love the way Trump's on every side of every issue. I never did appreciate being lied to half the time, myself.

But he helps him on the left..

I don't even know what that means.

[acptulsa]

Of course you do. He's talking about bipartisanship.

You know. Those times when both parties screw everybody, but your leftie neighbor is happy because he's too stupid to see that this policy he supported will lead to his own downfall too.

That's what Trump is talking about. It's Miss Lindsay. What else could he be saying about her/them/it?

You knew that. You were merely, as usual, desperately seeking for some other plausible denial--any old port in the storm--that could allow you to keep the faith. But he is, in fact, offering you four more years of Democrat appeasement as usual, despite the situation the nation is in. More self-destruction driving in the slow lane.

Don't feel too bad about it. I'm sure Lindsay lets Donnie be the "top".

What I want to know is, how crooked are South Carolina GOP primaries that they can't get this turkey off their ballot?

[Snowball]

But he helps him on the left..

I don't even know what that means.

He meant that Graham's connections and wiles in the Senate and environs is an asset to him, in pulling some votes over, on some matters.
Think Liebermanesque Democrats.

[Invisible Man]

Why is this news?

Sure, Graham opposed Trump in the primaries in 2016, and they butted heads some then. But once Trump got elected, Graham pretty quickly shifted into a role as Trump's single biggest ally in the Senate and they've been one another's strongest supporters ever since.

I told you to stop putting words in my mouth, your fingers taste terrible.

I said what he was doing was mere politicking, that doesn't mean I like it, just that it can't be taken as indicating his real position on Graham or Massie.

[Swordsmyth]

But he helps him on the left..

I don't even know what that means.

It means he finds him useful in the same way that Ron found Kucinich useful.
The fact that he is right there with him means he is using him in some way now and has to be as complimentary as possible.

The real question is: why do South Carolinians boo Graham but won't vote him out of office?

Because Graham most likely cheats to victory.

I'm really curious as to when they became butt-buddies? Was it before or after this picture was taken?

[nobody's_hero]

Probably. The strongest candidate to run against him was that Tom Davis guy from way-back-when. Figured if anyone would've had a chance it would have been him.
