Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday he thinks President Trump will lose re-election if Republicans do not follow through on promises to repeal and replace ObamaCare and cut taxes.

“Mitch McConnell is not our problem,” Graham told CBS’s “Face the Nation” when asked about former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon’s criticism of the Senate majority leader.

“Our problem is that we promised to repeal and replace ObamaCare and we failed," he added. "We promised to cut taxes and we’ve yet to do it. If we’re successful, Mitch McConnell’s fine. If we’re not, we’re all in trouble. We lose our majority and I think President Trump will not get re-elected.”

Graham’s comments come after Trump last week signed an executive order on health care after congressional Republicans repeatedly failed to repeal ObamaCare.

1. The Senator from Bubble-Stan thinks that repealing the ACA will help Donnie get re-elected

About the only people likely to vote for Donnie because their health insurance premiums remain low after Donnie nuked the exchanges are the young, healthy, silver-spooned Trevors and Muffies from wealthy Republican enclaves, and there aren't nearly enough of them to get so much as a plurality, even WITH vote-tampering.

2. So Lindsey, the question is: Is the GOP willing to destroy the USA to get Trump re-elected?

13. I believe...

...that Lindsey would be more then willing to sell his own sister and her family, in order to become relevant, again!!!

[bronxiteforever]

3. Party over Country Graham

[Scarsdale]

15. So, now we know the

conversation that transpired during their golf games. Lindsey almost ran to the limo.

[DK504]

4. So was that what another tax payer fleecing trip

was about? How we can continue to screw over the American people? Trying to get a "win"? Did we "win when the Moron refused to re-certify the Iran deal, refuse to speak of the military in Niger, the hurricane debacles all that winning? Is that what ya'll talked about as you spent another $500K for a crappy game of golf, not even a sport.

8. Republicans are allowed to drain Americas Federal money dry, just like they did bushwarmonger empire

Half the "able bodied" poorer population will soon be in federal, state, local jails and private prisons working for 20 cents an hour soon enough.

Republicans will CONTINUE! to take full advantage of the 13th amendment and legally have prison-slaves do all the work.


The 20 million undocumented held in Republicans new border detention prisons will be building those prison walls and factories "free" for corporations.

Like MLKsaid so long ago, "Remember, everything Hitler did was legal"

[COLGATE4]

5. Miss Lindsey sure has her panties in

a knot about repealing Obamacare.

[Sunlei]

6. No. Leader Republicans are excellent "using"Trump to keep the spineless Rs afraid for their "jobs"

[Perseus]

7. What an imbecile

This is amazing, they know everything they propose is crap, but all they worry about is reelection, and worst of, reelection of Trump...are you kidding me?

I really hope Trump completes the destruction of the republican party as it stands.

I guess they still have faith in the stupidity of the American voter.

9. All Republican members who have stood silent should be voted out. No more passes. They

should be done. I don't care if they have a come together moment and start doing what's right. They should be doing that anyway.
They have sown this chaos and endangered lives and livelihoods across this nation. They have gotten people killed by stoking their predator supporters. There should be NO REWARD to any of those elected officials. THEY MUST BE VOTED OUT and their government careers wiped out for all time.

They have a sickness that will not be cured otherwise.


WHITE MALE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR MAJORITY WHITE MALE SUPPORTERS = CIRCLE JERK. When are they going to wake up and see they just keep fucking themselves over and over by electing the same white males that govern them over and over?

[Vinca]

10. I can't imagine why any Republican would want Trump re-elected.

He's turned their party into a laughingstock at best and a pack of pussy grabbers at worst.

[riversedge]

11. For Graham,, it is all about keeping GOP jobs, Nothing about caring for U.S. citizens, our land, air

or water. I heard him earlier. He said it twice.

[B Stieg]

12. Not if we and North Korea nuke one another

[Beartracks]

14. Lindsey, MORE Americans voted AGAINST those stupid promises than voted for them.

Or did you forget that Trump actually has NO mandate from the masses?

================

[gilligan]

16. Successful?

If buy destroying everything in his path you mean successful. Then that will not be a problem.

[Siwsan]

17. Nobody else said it, so I will. Graham is CRACKERS

[YOHABLO]

18. No, Trump will lose (bigly)

[trof]

19. And that would be a bad thing?

I hope he's out of office long before that.

[Honeycombe8]

20. The country needs to oust him way before any re-election. The country won't make it that long.nt

[Nitram]

24. I agree. It is the 2018 mid-term elections or nothing.

[Doitnow]

21. Oh, what a shame----if Dump loses. We might start feeling normal again. Those

were stupid promises that you made-----not to mention harmful. Dump also ran (lied) on some good things, not the rotten stuff he and the Rethugs are trying to pass on us now instead. You are going to lose if you DO pass your $h*t. What is the matter with you? You've gerrymandered districts so that you've managed to win in states with pinheads like yourself and now you "have to live up to stupid and horrible promises." Lie, Cheat and Steal, that's what Rethugs have to do to win. Period.

[Linda Ed]

22. That's all they are worried about

Republicans could care less about country over party. In that statement alone it says ,,,if we don't push some crappy tax reform thru or some ACA that sounds good to the public instead of on paper (in other words lie about it and not even read it to know what is in it) than ,,,goodbye republicans right?

We all know drumpf is going to lose re-election cause he is a crook! He is worse than Nixon ever thought of being. So folks, you need to VOTE and get it out. If we vote in droves they won't be able to steal it will they? Don't stay home VOTE.

[Nitram]

23. A weak and doomed attempt to persuade Trump to support the GOP in his own self-interest.
