Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIs Lindsey Graham sucking up to Trump in order to protect us?
Just a thought, I may be reaching here but his weird behavior is off the charts. Everyone knows if you talk great about Trump you can own him. You can get him to do things and stop him from doing things. Trump is the easiest person to con on the planet. The Irony is incredible.
Graham was best friends with McCain, McCain hated Trump and knew he was dangerous. Maybe those two came up with a plan before McCain passed on. Get close to Trump, then you can control him, watch him, protect the country.

Graham's emails were hacked and he drastically changed after a golf outing with Trump.

We don't care what you do in your hotel room lindsay. We care that you'd sacrifice your career(?) for all of us. That get's you hero status. Not just a 'good job', by don juan the russian con.

(4,379 posts)I may be wrong, Maybe Lindsey went golfing with Trump and fell in love with him. I no longer understand anything that is going on in this country.

(38,458 posts)The day he played golf with Trump they dropped the hammer on him. He was also ordered to tell the media that Trump shot a 73 on a windy day at a tough course.

(18,837 posts)Lindsey Graham is interested in Lindsey Graham and that's about it.
He "protects" us in the same way that Ivanka is Trump's "moral compass."

(18,837 posts)1). Trump "seeks revenge" against anyone who doesn't sing his praises.
2). I think Graham is "smart enough" to know there's a 50-50 chance Trump won't see a second term, so he's willing to trade his credibility for a seat in the life raft as he attempts to weather the storm.
3). Maybe he DOES have much to hide. Theories about what those things might be are rampant.
4). If Satan DOES win out and Trump gets four more years, Graham's position is secured.
5). If Trump is GONE in 2021, Graham can position himself as a Republican "team player" and then can spend four years being Trey Gowdy in terms of new HRC email "investigations" and providing a far-right counterpoint to the Democratic president.
And that's just for starters.

(6,681 posts)Graham WAS friends with McCain. WAS. They had a break long before McCain got bad off.
No one control Trump. No one. A straight jacket in a padded cell would not control him. I can about guarantee Graham is in this for himself.

(4,723 posts)Lindsay Graham is just another deplorable Republican. I don't know exactly why he decided to hitch himself to the Trump wagon. Maybe they are blackmailing him. Maybe he has a thing for Trump. I don't know. He is a piece of crap person, regardless.
