" if the Supreme Court vacancy should happen during an election year of a Republican president.
Graham held that position as recently as two years ago and said Senate should not take up a Supreme Court nomination in the final year of Trump's first term. Graham blamed Democrats for changing the way Supreme Court justices are decided, starting with former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who changed the rules to allow a simple majority vote for Circuit Court nominees.
Democrats mourning the loss of Ginsburg, a liberal icon on the court, have pledged to do whatever possible to stop Trump's pending nomination for a lifetime appointment. But since they are in the minority with just 47 votes, math is not on their side.Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., spoke to fellow Democrat senators over the phone Saturday where they plotted payback next year when Democrats are favored to win back the Senate.
Losser! He had a chance to keep his word. Just another hypocritical politician. The US deserves better.
Of course he does. I’ve never seen anyone in public life make a bigger 180 turn than he has in the last 4 years. What a wuss.
Anyone else beside me enjoying this meltdown from the Left?
Unless the wind blows up his skirt then he’ll change his mind 👎🇺🇸
What a hypocrite!
All of the Republican Senate had better stand with our President on this once in a lifetime Supreme Court Justice nominee or no longer have a seat in our Republic Senate come November, the American People put Trump and Senate in office for this purpose.
Him and his lady bugs
Because he’s a fucking lying coward
FOX News host reveals bias calling Republicans moving ahead with SC nomination and confirmation 'rank hypocrisy.' Unlike intelligent viewers, she doesn't understand what President Trump meant when he said elections have consequences. She should be demoted.
Fill The Vacancy.
I sure hope he doesn't decide to flip flop!
Graham has no morals. He’s just a lap dog. Makes me sick.
Hypocrite
You are such a disappointment!
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election”
He’s betting his entire career on Trump. What an idiot
'Lyndsay lied to America' is a better headline and more accurate.
Good thing! The Revolt would be Epic
What gets lost in this is you’re supposed to represent your constituents. You’re LOSING your state because you don’t, almost never. They are tossing you for it. SC doesn’t want a new justice until after the election, overwhelmingly, period. You’re supposed to rep South Carolina.
Trump Republicans cannot be trusted and our out to take away your Social Security and anything else you earned and paid for over your lifetime. Don’t take my word for it. This is all in plain sight.
Oh my. Wouldn't it be awesome if he meant this?
Zero integrity

Trump ally Lindsey Graham thinks the President should release tax returnsAsked if President Trump should release his tax returns, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN, 'Yeah, I think everybody should. I've said that for a long time.' Trump can’t do his borrowing from US banks, so he is in debt to foreign entities such as Deutsch Bank and other shady overseas sources (likely oligarchs). He is also obsessive about concealing everything he can about his finances, refusing to show his tax returns. Hmm... Time to safe own skin, senate election too close to call. Trump is a liability. Calls to mind a line Wilfred Brimley in Absence of Malice, 'So what were planning on doing after government service, Mr. Graham?'

Jaime Harrison wants to build a movement and ‘transform the south’ in race against Lindsey GrahamJaime Harrison is in a close race against Senator Lindsey Graham. Here’s what he says his campaign is about: 'There are hospitals closing in rural communities. There aren't Democratic, Republican solutions to it. They just want a solution. When your roads are crumbling, you don't care if it's a Democratic or Republican solution. You just want a solution.' I moved to S.C. 8yrs ago. Nikki Hailey was Governor. I can tell you the infrastructure was the worst I’ve seen. Outdated road system in Columbia. Dilapidated interstates! She didn’t do her job!! I’m a Democrat but at least I give McMaster credit for working on the roads! Vote blue South Carolina This guy is nuts FLASHBACK: Joe Biden asked Anderson Cooper last year if he remembered 'gay bath houses' and 'around-the-clock sex.'
