    Why doesn't the tweet match what the woman is saying in the video? In this specific video she is clearly stating her frustration that the first woman senator in SC should have been elected not just given the position. She sees it as a historical thing, is not that she is against a woman being a senator.

    No, that is not the point. Trump is a lot of things, but senile is not one of them.

    Complaining about a woman being handed a position with no experience while conveniently forgetting Harris was handed the nomination and she is dumb as a rock.

    What was the alternative to nominating Harris? Anyone could have chosen to finish Graham's term

    an open primary would have been prudent

    i dont know the situation with Grahams sister, but not really worth the fuss over 4 months. Its better to put someone in who wont be running vs the Democrats strategy of appointing the next politicians

    They did have a primary. Biden dropped out in August. Having another primary is a ridiculous suggestion

    Edit: Harris was not the optimal choice. The DNC would have gladly had another

    I would say she's more sane than Trump but the bar is so low in this case, she's smart enough not to be a bagholder of bitcoin and not dumb to dump her money into spaceXo_O

    An article I read said Lindsey was a closeted gay man and the possible reason he was sucking up to Trump was because he was afraid Trump would use it against him so he became his #1 ally instead. Claimed that's the reason for his flip on Trump and heaping the praise on Trump all of the time. Now, I don't know if any of that is true. I just read it somewhere the other day. Graham didn't want to be in Trump's cross-hairs so buddy up and Trump will heap praise on you.

    Trump isn't intellectually smart but he has talent. He marketed his name in business and in politics very well

    I watch a history channel series on David Koresh and the siege in Waco a few months ago. It was filmed in 2017 and there were people who lived on the compound who were still believers.

    Koresh could barely read and write. Trump has a lot of what Koresh had

    Pretty much everybody figured Graham was gay. While I'm guessing Graham went to enormous lengths to make sure it was never publicly known, I don't think it's what motivated his Trump flip. I think it's much simpler than that. Graham was just a craven opportunist. As soon as it became politically expedient to back Trump, he did. He was merely a vessel for other people's ideas and ambitions in exchange for power. Nothing more.
