Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.
The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.
“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.
It’s almost as if they don’t have a spine.
I maintain that based one his behavior since then that Lindsay Graham had to have done something like murdered someone(probably a child) in the middle of a sexual act or something like that, his 180 is too jarring for the dirt to not be the most atrocious
His 180 is a simple case of tribalism. The good of the party outranks the good of the cause. Hell most Republicans talked shit about Trump before he was elected, including his own VP.
Same reason some Republican group took down a bunch of rebukes of Ken Paxton immediately after he beat Cornyn.
He should have been voted out in a primary a while ago, this is all just to not show off how he’s not actually a modern republican.
South Carolina is an ES&S state. It is also a state where miraculously, every time Graham has a real challenger for his seat, like with Jaime Harrison in 2020 when there was a huge and overwhelming drive to get the vote out down there, at the very last second just enough votes come in to keep Graham in his seat.
This is why Lindsey Graham believes in god. Not the ethereal Divine, and certainly not the orange chancre, but for all the times ES&S voting machines have miraculously delivered for him.
Honestly, he should have been right. But here we are.
Well, get busy, then.
get busy…?
