Republican Senator Lindsey Graham continued to discourage Donald Trump's concession on Monday, after making similar remarks Sunday, when he said on Fox News, "Do not concede, Mr. President. Fight hard."

But he also said early Monday morning, in a Fox News Radio interview, that Trump should launch another campaign in 2024 should current legal proceedings prove unsuccessful in showing voter fraud. Speaking to radio host Brian Kilmeade, Graham said Trump should "consider running again" during the next election cycle, adding that he spoke to the president directly on Sunday.

"Grover Cleveland came back," Graham said, referencing the 19th-century politician's unconventional return to the White House following a four-year gap during Benjamin Harris' presidency. Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th president, and the only one in U.S. history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office.

Continuing, Graham proposed that Trump should "think about" doing the same if his campaign's present attempts to invalidate votes "fall short" of the desired outcome.

You always promise they can come back next month.

[Thekaspervote]

2. Lady G..speaks to an audience of one. As long as dotard is alive Lindsey will have to tow the line!

[lagomorph777]

15. Please, enough with homophobia. This is DU.

How about "Leningrad Lindsey?"

[marble falls]

19. I agree with you. This kind of thing happens on DU??

[GoneOffShore]

28. It's not homophobia - It's calling that hypocritical cat by its proper name.

[lagomorph777]

29. How about "Leningrad Lindsey?"

And, yes, it's homophobia.

[GoneOffShore]

30. I'll give you Ms Lenigrad Lindsey.

[lagomorph777]

31. No thank you. We are Democrats and we don't do that shit.

[GoneOffShore]

34. Perhaps you don't. But you know, it's all very well to 'play nice', but this is not the time.

Just because you turn the other cheek, they perceive it as weakness and will roll right over you.

And they have.

I'm more of a 'Rude Pundit', 'Shower Cap' sort of guy. Too long have we gone with the 'don't call out the hypocrites', 'don't name call', etc. Guess what, they'll do the same thing to us, and worse. So no, I'm happy to call Lindsey Graham by the same name that the sex workers in DC call him.

[Crowman2009]

58. Not to mention folks like radio host Michelangelo Signorile have also referred to him as Lady G.

I swear some dormant DU accounts must have been hacked into by right-wingnuts trying to stir shit up. They've been doing the same with my post criticizing anti-vaxxers as well.

IMO, closeted moral hypocrites in power deserve this criticism.

[Rebl2]

41. Yes please

stop with the homophobic remarks. Yes Leningrad Lindsey has a nice ring to it.

[Hotler]

61. How about wearing thicker skin. nt.

[GoneOffShore]

60. Perhaps we should all send Linds some knee pads.

[Alacritous Crier]

3. It's just gotta be kompromat.

[lagomorph777]

16. I think so. Or just a shit ton of Roubles.

[Skittles]

36. absolutely correct

there's really no other logical explanation

[Newest Reality]

4. Oh Lindsey, go give him a big hug and sloppy wet, French kiss already. Sheesh.

[GoneOffShore]

35. Careful or the tone police will come after you.

[C_U_L8R]

5. You can't have it both ways, Loopy Lindsay

These clowns literally don't know if they're coming or going.

[mpcamb]

44. trump must have THOSE pictures to make this sad little puppet act this way.

It's really way. way beyond what might be expected.

[happybird]

6. I wonder when we will find out what trump has on Graham

Blackmail is the only possible explanation for his sudden turn from never-trump to subservient sycophant. Hopefully one day we will find out what blade trump is holding over his neck. I’m curious as hell.

[Escurumbele]

10. All it took was one round of Golf with the con to turn Lindsey around

Yes, I would love to know and I really hope we get to know.

[BarbD]

14. It's what they have in common -- Russian Money.

Too bad the Mueller Report was scuttled by the Barr.

[patphil]

7. The perfect toady.

[hedda_foil]

8. President Benjamin Harris??? How the once mighty Newsweek has fallen!

[FarPoint]

9. Well lets talk about that then...4 years from now is a long time...

I suggest media and us, democrats not take the republican bait for distraction....

[rickyhall]

11. If NY AG can convict him of a felony, the story ends.

[NurseJackie]

12. In other words: "Please please PLEASE don't release those photos!"

[Blue Owl]

13. Oh FFS

Graham is as demented as his tangerine assclown...

[BarbD]

17. It's in the republicans' interest to keep Trump "alive".

They are connected to one another by their greed. Money (especially rubles) is the glue holding them together.

[Taraman]

18. I'm so disappointed that he still has access to his megaphone

along with McConnell, Collins, Ernst. These are awful people.

[marble falls]

20. Its crazy. Maine goes Biden and re-elects Collins. It's "concerning".

[Behind the Aegis]

21. Agreed!

Personally, I think there should be a low-level look into the votes in those areas, especially since he and others are talking about the dead voting. If The Simpsons have taught us anything, it is sometimes they see things before they happen.

Look for Edgar Neubauer!

[Owl]

22. Media give too much attention to Lindsay.

[kacekwl]

23. Graham must like being trumps caddie.

Although I can't imagine the tips were very good.

[skypilot]

24. He's not going to be LESS deranged in four years.

[greenjar_01]

25. We've been chastised many times not to say that they have something on Graham

But they have something on Graham.

Something particularly nasty.

Something very bad.

[elleng]

26. a REAL sicky.

We should repeatedly post his accolade about Pres. Elect Biden, lauding Joe's goodness, ESPECIALLY if/when either gram/tramp run again.

[RexLipton]

27. Can you run for president from Jail?

Asking for a dotard.

[FailureToCommunicate]

46. That was also my first reaction. BTW, welcome to DU...

Like, three years ago. (I admire your restraint in posting.)

[appalachiablue]

50. Eugene V. Debs, 1920. Welcome to DU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_V._Debs

[Roc2020]

32. Why would any Dem feel threatened by Trump

running again in 2024?? He won't pick up any voters that voted for Biden plus all the people that turned 18 between now and 2024? The odds are against him getting the nomination but as a Dem I would welcome that fight!!

[Crowman2009]

53. Since it's a given that Trumpy-dumpy with contract COVID again...

...he won't be alive in 2024.

[cab67]

33. Is Graham a male anglerfish?

Has he merged his circulatory system to Trump's, leaving him unable to function as an individual organism?

[Yeehah]

37. This man-crush Lindsay has is getting a little bit weird

Trump must have some incriminating photos.

[AngryOldDem]

38. Trump may be a wee bit preoccupied...

...what with “yuge” loans coming due and a possible prison gig and all.

Graham’s hero worship is pathetic.

[yuiyoshida]

39. Prediction : Trump won't be available to be President-- being in prison

n/t

[OverBurn]

40. Trump must have a lot of dirt on Lindsey. Only explanation.

[LudwigPastorius]

42. Go eat some flies, Renfield.

[modrepub]

43. In Pennsylvania

Like it or not Trump energized the Republican base. Some rural (Republican) counties in PA probably had 70-80% voter participation rates and that's saying something because most rural counties in Pennsylvania have declining populations so there are fewer eligible voters to draw from.

Democrats lost 2 state-wide offices and failed to flip the legislature even though there are more registered Democrats than Republicans in Pennsylvania. If Trump wasn't on the ticket, Republicans probably would have continued on their slow decline in this state. There's a logic to having Trump back on the ticket in 2024. It's good for them and they can put up with the asshat if it keeps them in power.

[avebury]

45. NY AG needs to get extra busy going after Trump and his

crime family. I would like to see all of them serving time as convicted felons. Hard to run for office if you are in prison.

[cstanleytech]

48. Oh I am willing to bet they have the paperwork all ready to file and hopefully it will also include

paperwork for arrest warrants.

[cstanleytech]

47. Wait a minute Lindsey!!! Your side is already claiming to have proof of voter fraud so unless

you are total liars (which you are) you should not be casting a shadow of doubt on your claims.

[pfitz59]

49. 160 years later South Carolina is still disrupting the Union

by re-electing this jackass. Go away Ms. Graham.

[sandensea]

51. Under a "Freedom Party" ticket no doubt. Let's get it into the ballot in ALL 50 states!

It would rip the GOPee clear in half - with the Freedom Party no doubt getting the bigger half.

[Rorey]

52. I'm confident OrangeLoser won't win the primary

But I'm sure that Graham is all on board with him doing his non-stop campaign (AKA Democrat bashing) for President Biden's entire presidency. In effect, OrangeLoser will be the useful idiot of the Republican party, now that he'll no longer be useful to Putin.

And yes, I know that we didn't expect OrangeLoser to win the primary in 2016, but I just don't think they'll let him pull off that crap again.

[Crowman2009]

55. Especially since many members of his cult will have died from COVID by then.

[Rorey]

56. Good point

And I can't fake being sad.

[mdbl]

54. South Carolina really fucked up putting that a-hole back in office

what a worthless politician

[nwliberalkiwi]

57. What Does Trump Have On Graham?

Videos of Graham doing unnatural acts with puppies---just wondering!

[W T F]

59. So, if he wants Trump to run in 2024, doesn't that mean that he lost? You can't run for a third term
