THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT
Senator Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump's golf caddy, boot polisher, lawn jockey, and all around "boy" is finding out like Michael Cohen, Jeff Sessions, FOX News, and so many others, that loyalty with Donald Trump only runs one way. Years ago Senator Graham along with other lawmakers spent days touring the military camps with the the Kurds, he saw the sacrifices they had made in their fight against ISIS and pledged never to abandon them after all they had done. Enter Donald Trump, who yanks away America's small military presence, leaving the Kurds to be slaughtered by the Turks, and allows Mother Russia an even bigger foothold and more influence in the region. Thrown under the bus, Senator Graham now scrambles to salvage his political influence and (what's left) of his reputation, as he and other Republican lawmakers vote to condemn Trump's actions, knowing it will have little or no effect.
Years ago I supported George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and even "W" because they did not abandon the GOP's traditional deficit hawk policy's of curtailing government spending and paying down our national debt. Today thanks to Trump, the GOP is just an empty shell of what was once a great political party.
I understand the influence Trump has over his voter base, he tells them what they want to hear, plays on their fears, and they don't bother to do any research and see if what he says is true. Like David Koresh, Charles Manson, Jim Jones and other cult leaders, he speaks with an air of authority that causes them to worship him. What I do not understand is how smart people like Senator Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Barr and others can be drawn so completely under Trump's spell.
Republicans: When are you going wake up and realize Donald Trump cares less for you than he does a used wad of toilet paper?!. Trump's political coattails didn't help you in 2018, did they? When are you going to wake up?
House Republicans break 2-to-1 against Trump on withdrawal of Kurd support
