The shift from moderate republican to Trump supporter is dramatic starting with the Kavanaugh hearings. Last year he was critical of Trump changing his mind on the bipartisan immigration deal, now he is supporting a national emergency.
What happened to him.
Quote:
Graham’s rush to Trump’s side is particularly baffling because not long ago, he was best known for his bipartisan deal-making on issues like climate change and immigration. He subscribed, at least theoretically, to the country-over-party credo of his departed Senate co-conspirator John McCain. McCain’s diagnosis of brain cancer and eventual death coincided approximately with Graham’s emergence as Trump’s most prominent Senate defender and whisperer. This combination of factors gave rise to the “What happened to Lindsey Graham?” question, which has become synonymous enough with the South Carolinian’s national political identity that he felt compelled to own it on the stump.
Yep, he's up in 2020 and doesn't want to get primary'd.
He was fairly moderate and wasn't necessarily a Trump critic in general, I don't see this change being related to the next election primary. But his views could work against him with the right democratic challenger, his support of the National Emergency will work against him.
I have to agree with the he needs Trump to get re-elected. His poll numbers tanked when he was critical of Trump and went up when he became a boot licker. He wants to get re-elected and he's willing to prostitute his belief system to do it. Typical politician.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
