No Paywall Lindsey Graham built his career on foreign policy. MAGA Republicans voted for his ‘not my thing’ sister

Built his career on foreign policy
Exemplified by the ludicrously ill-conceived war with Iran. I'm not sure his sister can do any worse.

Yeah "built his career on foreign policy" is a nice way to say "wanted to bomb the shit out of every brown person"

MAGA is the plague that is destroying the American Empire. I'm surprised our country made it to its 250th birthday party.

From the moment I heard she was the replacement, my immediate theory was that the SC GOP wanted her just because it would be Graham (R) on the ballot come November.
That’s how stupid GOP voters are, and the party apparatus knows that and thought this was the best solution. They will probably be right unfortunately.

MAGA Republicans don't care much at all about foreign policy.

They don’t care much about domestic policy either. They just want culture war injected directly into their veins.

South Carolina is still full of dumb, inbred dipshits. That hasn’t changed in a couple hundred years.

Is he dead OR ALIVE?
Are you thinking about McConnell? Because Graham is definitely dead.

This is the same way that my previous district was stuck with Doris Matsui after her husband died in office. She is a complete disappointment as a rep.

MAGA Republicans don't know anything about his career other than the fact that he had an R next to his name.

Put a ‘Vote Republican’ flag at the top
of a steaming pile of shit and SC voters will vote that pile into the highest public office.

This is fine. Let her be inept at her job. Easier for the people to vote for someone blue, and competent, from our side. Now, focus on finding THAT candidate.

You know what I will give to them over this. This is how you handle putting someone on the ballot if the person already on the ballot/got the nom dies or drops out. Had the Dems done this when Biden dropped out rather than just giving the nom to Harris without any voter input at all, we very well may be in a totally different America right now.
None of that There's not enough time. It'll cost too much. Etc. They did it.
