  1. America is

    23 in education.
    25 in democracy index.
    34 in raising family index.
    37 in healthcare.
    No high-speed train.
    Highest number of homeless people.
    Highest number of incarcerated people.
    78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.

    Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it’s wallet for the rich.

    Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling.

    I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!

    Let’s make our country better together. . . . . .

    1. Thats right he will see when Dems take Back the Presidency and the Senate,and Lets see how he Likes getting Nothing done Like He did to pres Obama for 8 yrs

  2. “. . . but you ignore the fact that most bordellos have higher standards for their clients than Trump has for his appointees.”

    1. @Jerry Caires Jr AS IS SAID BEFORE, Lindsey Graham is one of the best senators in the country. HE’S DOING HIS JOB AND DOING A GREAT JOB! Does Jaime Harrison even know what the job of senator is? If you’re Smart Man you should know this. DO YOU KNOW WHAT LINDSEY IS DOING RIGHT NOW?

    2. @Mario Lopez Do you have some intelligent answers to my questions? How about defining what a white person is for me?

    3. @iTs Spiritual
      Gramps make yourself useful at an uncontrolled intersection as a speed bump.
      Multicultural tread marks will do wonders for your complexion.
      It’s all your intellect is capable of.

    4. @iTs Spiritual CAPITALIZING LETTERS doesn’t get your point across effectively, just makes you sound DESPERATE

    5. He got a lot of that money 💰 from
      RBG like Biden did. And like a lot of Demonrats did.
      She left them 💰
      I just voted and I voted Trump and all red. Lindsey didn’t become a Rhino until he got in with Rhino John McCain 😳 Go vote Trump and Red. God bless 🇺🇸

  3. I hope lindsey graham loses!! south carolina please vote Blue!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸biden/harris 2020

    1. Guys please remember what happened to us in 2016 , that wasn’t a nice feeling. Please vote Biden & Harris 2020 , USA needs you!!!!!

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 didn’t you post this same comment like 10 months ago? All you do is create QAnon propaganda

    1. *California Taxes, Overregulation Force 1,800 Businesses To Relocate*
      Dec 2018 https://www.westernjournal.com/california-taxes-overregulation-force-1800-businesses-relocate/

      *California — notorious for high taxes and a stifling regulatory environment — reportedly saw 1,800 businesses either relocate or disinvest from the state in 2016.*

      Business relocation consultant Joe Vranich wrote concerning the results of a new study he authored that he is advising clients “to leave the business-hostile state because its business climate continues to worsen,” according to Investors Business Daily.

      Vranich, president of Spectrum Location Solutions LLC, noted that the 1,800 “disinvestment events” that occurred in 2016 were the most since 2008.

      Additionally, 13,000 companies left the state during that nine-year period.

      “Departures are understandable when year after year CEOs nationwide surveyed by Chief Executive Magazine have declared California the worst state in which to do business,” Vranich said.

      “The top reason to leave the state no longer is high taxes,” he said. “The legal climate has become so difficult that companies should consider locating in jurisdictions where they will be treated fairly.”

      One business regulation Vranich cited was California’s new Immigrant Worker Protection Act, which fines companies for following federal immigration law.

    2. Guys please remember what happened to us in 2016 , that wasn’t a nice feeling. Please vote Biden & Harris 2020 , USA needs you!!!!!

    1. If it’s time for change why would you vote for Biden he’s been there 47 + years doesn’t make much sense now does it

  4. One great thing about Lindsey Graham losing, is that it is such a shock to him. Hypocrisy has been in politics forever. Graham hit a new level – not only flipping, but specifically promising he wouldn’t, and saying it’s ok to call him on it. Well, Lindsey – you’re being called. Vote Trump and ALL of his ENABLERS Out! VOTE #CountryOverParty #AmericaOrTrump #VOTEBLUE2020 #BIDENHARRIS2020 #JaimeHarrison2020

    1. Dr. Val Villanueva There is such stark fear in Graham’s eyes while he’s begging for money…. I’m typically a kind and compassionate individual, but I don’t mind seeing Graham in such fear. He chose it, he’s gotta own it.

    2. Not that it matters, but there is so much more about to “come out” about Miss Lady G. You just wait and see. The 🏳️‍🌈 hypocrisy of the GOP front and center. 🤣🤣🤣

    3. Trillions of dollars spent by the Left and “clean energy” industry, and he’s still trailing. Nice try guys. Thanks.

  5. Happy to see new people coming into the Senate. We need a new south. Slavery was abolished by a Republican president because he knew that the south needed to change . Can’t wait to congratulate you Harrison.

  6. Funny. What Lyndsay Graham is saying between the lines. Why is a black man getting more money than a white man. It’s ok for a white man to get money from everywhere, but not a black man he must be stealing or some unscrupulous person or persons giving him that money. Oh thats not allowed he’s black black people can’t organize like that. Votevthe dinosaur senater Graham out.

    1. Guys please remember what happened to us in 2016 , that wasn’t a nice feeling. Please vote Biden & Harris 2020 , USA needs you!!!!!

    2. Harry William Graham must haven’t forgotten who the previous President was! A black man who won two terms….please for the sake of the world vote in Harrison & Biden, vote out Trump

  7. “I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said ‘let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’ And you can use my words against me, and you’d be absolutely right.” -Lindsey Graham

    It’s time to move on. Graham has lied to the American people too many times. Get him out of office! Vote Harrison!

    1. @patrice tekeda Obviously you missed the memo… Democrats support BLM LGBTQ and defunding the police
      tinyurl.com/y3s8vx6s 👈😳

    2. @The Tweatles Yawn. Oh look, more loony Trumpies showed up for our entertainment, hoping to present some “evidence” that will somehow blot out the 230K+ US coronavirus deaths. Good luck with that.

    3. Anyone who would vote for Graham after that should have their hearts examined. Cheaters cheat, that’s what they do. Betray me and he’ll betray you

    4. The left’s new tactic is to report anyone posting links to #HunterBidensLaptop videos, for possessing child-p*rn. They would literally rather support pedophiles than let @realDonaldTrump be right again! Blows my mind. #ThesePeopleAreSick #TRUMP2020ToSaveAmerica @TeamTrump

  8. If Harrison wins, this will be historical: 2 black senators from the reddest state in the union??? Whoaaaaa

    1. l dont even live in the US. but go Jamie go. it will be fun to poke fun of missy graham for getting what he deserved for going againt his own words on SC

  9. The American people want to see Lindsey Graham out of a job as much as they want to see the end of Trump’s reign.

    1. I am from MO and never donated money to any politicians but this time I did. I donated money to Harrison , Kelly, and many more. It is not much but I did .

  10. Let’s hope this is true, get out and vote and get Graham out. We need a new south filled with love and compassion.

    1. I’m Southern born and breed from long generations of Southerners and we want to put the old South behind us. There are always things we will love and cherish about the South but the dark side of our history is not one of them we want to put all that behind us and have leaders like Jamie that represent the New South and the Republicans are welcome to our old Dixiecrats that now call themselves Republicans like Lindsey. We want to see the South turn a new Blue again.

    2. @Michael Ashworth a sign of relief for sure. I am living in Canada and spend lot more time paying attention to US politics then our own. Because US election impacts the world. We need a calmer world.

    3. Logan McLean when Democrat President Lyndon Johnson got the Civil Rights Bill passed the infuriated Dixiecrats found a new home with the Republican Party and the South turned red. The Republicans did not change our old Dixiecrats, they changed the Republican Party so thank you for taking our trash which now represents you in Washington. I’m always amazed how you people love to bring up that all the bad that happened in the South was when it was Democrat when actual our politics haven’t changed much the only difference is now they call themselves Republicans.

  11. The ole South is dying, the good ole boys networking is dying and Leningrad Lensey is representative of a dying breed grasping for it’s last breath to hold on to its power, as a new generation is taking Root.

    3. @T C You must be a cult follower. Too bad. He is a LIAR, cheat, and failure! A TOTAL FAILURE WHO FAILED AMERICA. I am sorry you are so stupid not to see what is apparent. Maybe you r a bot 💩👾

  12. That shows the racism from the GOP when they’re claiming that a black man running for office’s campaign funds are suspicious. They wouldn’t if he was white.
