Lindsey Graham represented a particular flavor of cowardice and hypocritical power seeking that directly empowered Trump.

Much like the one person you are implying, I think the world is truly a better place without the one person in Lindsey Graham, despite the fact that he will be replaced with an equivalent Republican in the Senate.

It does force the SC GOP to scramble a little bit, perhaps to offset our scrambling in Maine. A yin and yang...

The Democrat is a longshot, but she's really good.
