Latest poll has Trump up 10 over Biden in South Carolina

which is no surprise. What is surprising is Lindsey is locked in a dead heat with Jaime Harrison in the same poll. I was wondering why Lindsey had gotten so quiet lately.

Then one must not complain over the state of government currently in place. If Trump does not win whatever benefits Lindsey brings to SC vanish like a puff of smoke. He tied himself to Trump and it is gonna cost him at some point.

Read the above closely and then tell where I said Trump will be why Graham loses, I said he tied himself to Trump and it will cost him if Trump loses. You really think ole closeted boy retains his sphere of influence in a DEM presidency, hence whatever benefits he brought to SC will go away. After 4 years of DJT there will be some private kneecappings in the Senate and House for those that stood out front to help DJT.

I can think of a few million people that would make better presidents than either of them.

I'm not crazy about Harrison either - he seems more than a little calculating and insincere, much like, well, Lindsey Graham - but if electing him will stop this endless regressive flood of Federalist derps the current GOP Senate is loading onto the bench, I'll cheerfully vote for the guy.
I don't mind conservative justices, I really don't. I actually prefer them to liberal activist judges. But these reactionary Federalists McConnell and crew are stuffing in are right-wing wonks bent on selling America to the highest bidder while at the same time abolishing sufferage, worker's rights, consumer protections, women's rights, and even the Emancipation Proclamation for good measure, and it's going to take decades getting rid of these yahoos...and I worry they've invalidated the neutrality of the judiciary beyond repair anyhow.
I'd still be deeply shocked if South Carolina rids itself of Graham at the end of the day regardless of whatever misgivings anybody may have of him. Moderates like myself despise him for seeing which way the wind was blowing and jumping to Team Trump instead of jettisoning him for unfitness early, as should have happened...whereas the Trumpies distrust him because they don't think he's sincere about his conversion, despite the fact that other than maybe Mitch McConnell Trump really hasn't had a bigger enabler in the Senate his first term in office. Go figure.
Still a big jump between that and seeing our reddest of red states vote in a Dem. Then again, Alabama did vote in Doug Jones (albeit temporarily), so anything can happen...but still. If the GOP loses a Senate seat in South Carolina I suspect they'll have a lot bigger problems than just that, and it's probably part of a much bigger national landslide.

Well, yeah. And even with all that Moore still came within a hairsbreadth of winning. Alabama is really red.
Graham's a long-time incumbent in a state every bit as red and while he's shedding both moderate and conservative votes for the aforementioned reasons, it's still hard to see him losing out when the dust settles.
It'd take some really weird bounces in the national landscape, I would think.
Still fascinating to see how close it looks at the moment.

Would you want to put $1000 on whoever-that-is on beating Graham?
No, I didn't think so.
So what was your point?
