Steve Schmidt says Graham is a profound disappointment. I agree 100%

He makes me want to puke. Seems like he is emulating Cheetoh.
It would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic. Seems like in the GOP world, all you have to do is start yelling and waving your arms around and then everybody falls into line. GOP "Greedy Old Pricks"

Hey -- it worked in the movie "Network" --

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.

We know things are bad — worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.'

Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot — I don't want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. [shouting] You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!'

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...You've got to say, I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE! Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

2. I think Lindsey needs to attach himself to a stronger male. Now that McCain is gone, Trump is next.

He's like a Chihuahua, a dog that needs to stay by the alpha owner to gain protection and leech totemistic power.

There are a couple decent politicans who are nominally Republican out there, but their own Alpha chops would force them to send the current sad bastards packing!

9. Hey! My chihuahua takes exception to that remark

She doesn’t deserve to be compared to Lindsey Graham just because she’s obnoxious and yappy. She at least contributes love and innocence to the world to compensate.

Trump won't be appointing another AG with one of those "dumb accents." Or maybe he will.
