Okay, so Lindsey Graham -- not totally shockingly (though a touch surprisingly for the risk it puts to his election and any last remnant of honor) -- is going back on his pledge of two years ago to not let a nomination go forward. He is saying the situations are different from with Merrick Garland. Though of course, that's beside the point, since what he said between the Garland debacle and now is that the if there is an opening in Trump's last year and if Graham becomes chairman of the Judiciary Committee -- which he is now -- there would be no confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice until after the next inauguration. And then to make the point stronger, he tells everyone that they can use the video of him saying that against him.
I have every confidence that everyone will be using the video of him saying that against him. And it's my hope that Mike Bloomberg takes him up on on that pledge and buys ad time to relentlessly play the ad on TV in South Carolina and on social media. I also suspect it's a hypocritical lie that could back to haunt him big time since the most recent Quinnipiac Poll has him tied with Jaime Harrison, 48-48%. And any undecided voters there aren't undecided because they wonder if he's loyal enough to Trump -- but rather too much a sycophant lap dog who's given up his spine...and honor, like going back on his pledge that he says to use against him.
