Lindsey Graham just threatened Mitch McConnell over Donald Trump

This really is amazing to watch, all these grown men groveling before a juvenile buffoon, selling their souls just to keep their cushy gubmit jobs.

That said, Lindsey is right. Either McConnell manages a complete about-face or McCarthy can start measuring the drapes. It's probably too late already.
I think Lindsey, McCarthy and McConnell will work things out for the good of the American people. As Republicans we have a joy in the people who founded and formed a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all are equal. Don't forget Eisenhower focused on remembering God in our pledge, the same God that saw our General Washington through winning freedom for the common man, and who would know that better than a man who had the heartbreak of seeing most of his men had worn out their only pair of boots and shoes, put their coats over the dead body of a fellow soldier, and he didn't have a FedEx to deliver some good eats the next day. We Republicans picked the elephant for our mascot because they had long and well-formed memories about who's naughty and who's nice. We cannot forget Almighty God's love for the American people, nor our pledge to the people to do right by them. And you definitely don't want to get on the bad side of a herd of elephants that we can be when prodded to the bone. God is on our country's side, and we're gonna keep it that way for the safety of future generations. Walk away. Join the Republican Party! We are the people. :WooHooSmileyWave-vi:

The Little Blue Dress Affair wasn't a joke. Four years of Democrat destroying the Executive Branch with planned and timed lies wasn't a joke. Indecent Democrats adopting the Alinsky method of destroying freedom and committing calumnies against decent opponents wasn't a joke. You seem so sadly desperate. Tissue?
LOL, Irony at its best. Character Assassination has become the play of the game by the GOP, and proved by beautress in this paragraph.

"Character Assassination" is the decimation of one person. I decimated a little trait known as "groupthink," which is clearly a communist byword.
Go to m-w.com. Better yet, keep a dictionary close to your computer. You need it. And you need at least a G.E.D. to post here. Well, if you don't care for correction you do. :rolleyes-41:
 

I've had my criticisms of Graham but he is totally right on here

How can you say you are a Republican (uh... u know.. one who REALLY cares about the old constituents..) when you ignore the one person most "everyday" Rs consider the leader of their party?

Which means in other words you are not the GOP, you are the party of Trump which makes you Trump Humpers.

Because that used to mean uniting behind a few principles, not a cult leader.

Your nation was hardly "conceived in liberty" when it was built on slavery. How does that work ?
 
outh Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham sent GOP Leader Mitch McConnell a very clear message Wednesday night: Get on board with Donald Trump or get out.

Asked by Fox's Sean Hannity about the "swampiness" of the Kentucky senator, Graham answered this way:

"Elections are about the future. If you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship with Donald Trump. Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? He is the most consequential Republican since Ronald Reagan. It's his nomination if he wants it. ... Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? ...

"I am not going to vote for anybody for leader of the Senate as a Republican unless they can prove to me that they can advocate an 'America First' agenda and have a working relationship with Donald Trump because if you can't do that you will fail."


Which reads like a threat, no? Graham is saying that McConnell needs to fix the relationship with Trump -- or else. Graham's... er... advice, comes just days after Trump called McConnell a "loser" in an interview with NPR and amid a growing trend among Republican Senate candidates who say they will not support McConnell for leader if they win their races.

There's no question that the on-again, off-again relationship between Trump and McConnell is currently in the off-again stage. Trump, unhappy with what he believes are McConnell's capitulations to the White House and Democrats in the Senate majority on things like raising the debt limit and President Joe Biden's infrastructure package, has taken to attacking McConnell publicly while privately working to find someone to challenge the GOP leader for primacy within the Senate. (Trump is also now referring to McConnell as "Old Crow" or, alternately "old broken-down Crow." And, no, I have no idea why Trump capitalizes "Crow.")

I don't know who is worse Groveling Ted Cruz or Fish Outta The Water Lindsey Graham.

Mitch McConnell is a clown as well.

The Republican Party is a joke.
Whatever you think of McConnell, he was genius in giving us a great SCOTUS. The ramifications of that will last at least one generation.
 
Getting behind the incoming President is sort of important for someone who wants to be a leader.

How will McConnell- or any senator or rep- be able to get things done if they are oozing in hatred for their President?
Agreed, and Lindsay Graham knows it. He's the most effective politician in the Senate at this point, IMO.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the great Republican President, Honest Abe Lincoln.

"Conceived in liberty" is what Americans are taught when they study the Gettysburg Address.

a threat? i don’t think so, he’s pretty clear he won’t vote for him or anyone to be majority leader if he can’t work with Trump (if of course trump wins again)

seems pretty clear and makes sense
