Trump Ally Lindsey Graham Is Also the Democrats’ Go-To Guy

Democrats Sheldon Whitehouse and Richard Blumenthal are partnering with him on a bill to criminalize voting system hacks. Robert Menendez is working with Graham on sanctions against Russia and Saudi Arabia. Other Democrats have sought him out on immigration and gun legislation.

Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat on the Judiciary panel, said there are a lot of issues “where the relationship that he’s forged could prove helpful.” “The key to most people, particularly this president, if he thinks you want him to be successful, he’ll take criticism,” Graham said in one of several recent interviews. “If he thinks you’re out to get him, he locks down and that’s it, and he lashes out.”

Mark Salter, a former aide to one of Graham’s closest friends, the late Senator John McCain, also has been critical of Graham’s deference to Trump, while recognizing his political strategy.Graham has glossed over disagreements with Trump on style and substance to maintain his status as the president’s golfing buddy and phone pal. It has been particularly jarring for some colleagues to see Graham set aside Trump’s repeated slagging of McCain, who was Graham’s mentor and a fierce critic of Trump.

Graham still openly pines for “Tuesday Trump” -- a president who would be willing to compromise with Democrats in order to overhaul asylum laws and dissuade thousands of Central Americans from coming to the southern border.

bless your heart LindseyGrahamSC

Sounds like Ms Lindsey has a crush

Butt kisser

Sounds like Lindsey is groveling, wonder if he sometimes get down on his knees in front of Trump.

Graham sold himself to the devil long time ago !

If S.C. wants to leave the Union again, will the other states object?

The FIGHT for him, sir. Your own 'jury' is still 'out'.

Well, then, start actually DOING that AND start actually defending the man and putting his detractors on notice!!! Prove yourself, sir...right now your 'juries' out.

“Deals” god have you forgot about policy , good law.

John McCain was a rat!

hey lindsey you will pay one day for your disrespect of john and sucking up to trump!!

It's a wonder graham has any room to breathe with both mcConnell and him up trumps backside when trump walks Probably how trump can cheat at golf with graham making the shots from trumps backside Lol

Go away Lindsey! Your backing of our Dishonest President is unforgivable!

Wow....just wow 😮

Help him understand that slandering a dead person shows how shallow & immature he is. Any president of the USA has to show class even when he/she is under attack.

Weasel Graham, what does Trump have on you to turn on your friend McCain? At least McCain told Trump to go to hell. He has Cajones ! ! !

Oh golf fun is more important than your friend or our country or our constitution You need to find a new career. LindseyGrahamSC

EVERYTHING you say after the word BUT is total bullshit LindseyGrahamSC always is. remember that.

Why does he need your help making deals? I thought he was the greatest deal maker the world's ever seen. StableGenius

You’re. Talking. About. FAT. DONNIE

“... he’s not a criminal because he’s fun at golf “ Golden legal criteria.

White men need to stop talking about golf all the time seriously..

I cringe.

So what do you feel about the children Trump puts in cages, the religious bigotry, the homophobia, the xenophobia, the misogyny. Oh yeah, corporate donor tax cuts and re-election.

McCain hated Trump and took his vengeance to the grave. How sad is that?

Operative word in the Trump orbit is 'deal'. Yet they never materialize. Trump's fault, McConnell's fault, doesn't matter. Nothing.

In 2016 he pulled no punches calling trump “a ‘kook’, a ‘jackass,’ ‘a race-baiting bigot,’ and ‘the most flawed nominee in the history of the Republican Party.’” What changed?

Uh what deals?

Because grownups know how to work together despite their differences and opinions.

Left out, “I’m a no morals coward”

Ok, Reek

Lindsey would be happier if he just came out of the closet. Then he wouldn’t need to pretend anymore.
