The move comes two days before the primary in the state, where he was projected to fall behind both former President Donald Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
He hasn’t. With a handful of obvious exceptions, the entire Republican leadership has spent the last four years running a clinic in cowardice, pathetic boot-licking and groveling.
I’d imagine in a dark and dystopian future, the dictatorial and dysfunctional trump dynasty will simply imprison any challengers to the throne, like their daddy Putin does.
It’s an interesting and terrifying thought experiment. Hopefully we’re not actually going to run it IRL.
For whatever it’s worth, I don’t think it would fly in a country as massive and habitually fractious as the US, but I’ve been wrong about a lot of things in the past --never imagined that an unlettered buffoonish corndog conman like Trump could even come within sniffing distance of the presidency for example-- so who the fuck knows?
I don’t have a lot of faith in my fellow Americans. I probably never should have, but hindsight is always 20-20 or whatever.
Sick of the hypocrisy by the politicians. Hedging, walking back statements, playing down etc are all held up as skills and being ‘shrewd’ or ‘having savvy’ about the game. To the rest of us, it just reeks of having no spine, no integrity and having none of our interests at heart.
Spends months talking about how trump is incompetent, then endorses trump

I hate to make you feel old, but it’s a lot more like 8 years now, almost 9.
Yeah, sigh, you’re right. On the plus side, I’m in my 50s and already feel old, so no worries about that.

This ain’t gonna happen. Trump couldn’t run for two terms in a row. Do you know why? Because the majority of Americans don’t want him.

Ah yes. The Lindsay Graham

Lol, when did he do that? The time he literally said in a debate he’ll vote for him?
