Lindsey Graham Says A Policy-Driven Trump Will Lead The GOP | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. The problem with Trump is, he is all talk and hot air. Every time he stands, he appears like he is either about to take off or tip over.

    1. Yes, he expects his loyalists to take all the risks and all the blame. I cannot imagine fellow Americans — even white supremacists, evangelists etc — are that dumb to be manipulated by a criminal. But hey, Trump is still walking free without any accountability, and no large scale public outrage.

    2. @Richard Beam Not for long Richard, not for long. The next six months will make his second impeachment look like a skip through the daisies.

    3. @mathew metcalf More like he claimed he has done, one thing he truly accomplished was a record amount of lies told by any president. Not gonna lie, something like ~30k over four years is impressive. Ah he also took credit for Obama’s accomplishments and grifted a ton of money.

    1. I’m sure he does. He realised he has no place in a GOP without Trump, so he’s just doubling down and praying for Trump to stay so he could stay relevant.

    2. Trumpsollini policies, deny scientificevidence, proven facts, ridicule, blame, hate and tax cuts for the rich for the trickle di trickle da trickery done effect

    3. It’s all about the DONORS. Follow the money. Trump is strong on de-regulation, allowing pollution etc. He’s also fine with breaking the law and letting cops do whatever they want. Basically Trump says “support me and you can do what you want” which is obviously horrible but when you get Fox News and other right-wing propaganda machines behind him (again follow the money) then you create this alternate Universe where Trump is some genius, the election was stolen by the “socialist” Democrats and Russia is our best friend.
      Jesus Christ, Trump can come out and say “we fell in love” about the North Korean dictator who puts millions of his people in prison and his support barely falters. If Obama tried to talk to a dictator Fox News said that was horrible, but when Trump did it then it was “obviously you want to make friends of your enemies” and now that Biden is President it’s bad again.

    1. I believe you’re right Mike. Was my immediate thought too, when I saw this clip. And it’s not the first time it’s looked like this the last few months. The ole boy must be in a terrible SQUEEZE. To a breaking point by now. The man tries to hide that he’s scared shitless as best he can of course, and has decades of practice acting, in private and in public. But sees no escape from the strings pulled by his puppetmaster. Trump himself’s too unintelligent, erratic and bullish to intimidate and control a smart opportunistic fellar like Graham longterm like that (as I’ve always seen him). Probably the SAME person (power) who’s the commanding officer for both these operatives…

    2. Ms Lindsey is a little concerned about Donald spilling the beans about her *Ladybugs*

      PS: Google is your friend

    3. @Tom Porsgaard you give graham far too much credit. He has twisted himself inside out being Trump’s lap dog and every sine time he has a moment of clarity, his balls drop and he man’s up a little he quickly quashes all notions that he has grown a spine, proceeds to get back on his knees and hope Trump’s rubs his wittle head. Trump owns him

  2. Doesn’t Lindsey remind you of Jeff Sessions?
    Watch out Lindsey!

    Trump will throw you under the bus too, eventually.

    1. Absolutely. Lindsey has flip flopped too many times so neither side can trust him completely. Only the true devotees like Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan can expect to have a longer shelf life. Ultimately all are disposable to the Former Guy.

    2. @joandollie Doyle I remember when being consistent was expected of US Senators. If they changed their position they were expected to give a good reason. Not anymore. Lindsey got re-elected in 2020! Literally incredible!

  3. I love the idea for Trump to lead the GOP. He will bring the party to total annihilation. Self destruction guarantee.

    1. Good point. But just as entertaining to watch him try to change. Pure theatre. A bit tricky when you behind bars for tax crimes though……..

    1. I wish that were so but unfortunately he is Teflon Don the worst and I mean the worst that could possibly happen to him will be house arrest and the pay a real nasty fine other than that as usual he faces no consequences

  4. Did y’all see the worry in Lindsey Graham•s eyes? They know the GOP is torn apart. Dems will remain in senate/house 💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸

  5. Lindsey Graham says a “Policy-Driven” Trump is going to lead the GOP?

    Sure, Lindsey. So, when is that guy going to show up?
