Why has Lindsay Graham flipped? What do they have on him?

[redstateblues]

It is just weird that he has gone from being anti Trump to being a Trump devotee. It makes no sense.

[RandySF]

1. Probably threatened to pull him out of the closet to his SC constituents.

And before anyone gets angry, Graham's orientation is an open secret in DC.

[Kirk Lover]

3. It is !

[jberryhill]

6. Its likely not just that

7. Graham HAS opened up about his love life. That's what it says,

right here:

Republican White House hopeful Lindsey Graham is finally opening up about his love life via a tell-all memoir his campaign will release tomorrow online.

The U.S. senator says he dated two women in his 20s and makes reference to a college girlfriend.

He nearly proposed to one of the women, a flight attendant named Sylvia from Vienna, but 'it wasn’t to be.'

'I’ve never married I guess I attribute that to timing, too,' he writes at the end of the aptly titled e-book, My Story, a copy of which was provided to Daily Mail Online before tomorrow's release date.

Reflecting on his 60 years, he said, 'The opportunity never presented itself at the right time, or I never found time to meet the right girl, or the right girl was smart enough not to have time for me. I haven’t been lucky that way.'

18. Is his middle name Liberace?

He was an impeachment manager, which means he’s utterly corrupt, has no sense of shame, and will do anything to assuage his corporate masters

9. It's an open secret with many of his constituents, too.

Just like we all knew about Sperm Thurmond's mixed-race daughter before the rest of the country did.

11. Another GOP hypocrite

2. Whatever the Kompromat is, Believe That It's Potent!

[jberryhill]

4. Gee, I wonder how Graham could possibly be compromised?

There’s a puzzler. I couldn’t imagine him harboring any personal secrets.

[Puzzledtraveller]

5. his stocks must be doing well

or promises that we will war with NKorea because I'm pretty sure Graham is a military-industrial-complex guy, why he and McCain get along so well.

[madinmaryland]

8. OFFS! Graham has always been a rightwing nut job. He'll always toe the line

with the pukes.

[GoCubsGo]

10. He probably took Russian money.

[uponit7771]

12. Or took it and didn't know it. CU allows companies to contribute to PACs and the PACs could be

... getting their Russian money through shell companies which is one of the reasons Obama mentioned this was a stupid law at one of his SOTU address's in front of Chief Justice Roberts who was sitting there shaking his head like a petulant child.

13. Email hacked in 2016

Being used now

[superpatriotman]

14. Browser history

Candid vacation photos

[XRubicon]

17. This.

[Kajun Gal]

15. Russian money paid to his PAC.

[JI7]

16. It could have more to do with protecting someone he was/is involved with

[TomSlick]

19. Where have I been?

I've not heard these rumors about Graham.

[unc70]

21. Then you are new and havent been paying attention

The “rumors” about Graham are widely known and widely confirmed. So much so, I would expect any scandal to involve far more than just being gay.

[TomSlick]

22. I've been around for less than a year, so that's probably it.

I spend most nights watching MSNBC and reading DU but I missed this somewhere.

If the Russians or the Orange One has an e-mail, a photo, something, to convincingly "out" Trump it would be devastating to Graham's re-election. If there is that kind of kompromat out there, Graham would kiss any number of backsides to keep it quiet.

[standingtall]

20. Graham did not flip he has always been a weasel

He was never going to stand up into Trump in any meaningful way and now that it looks like there is no way Trump is going to be cleared. Graham is now going to use his position to cover up and protect Trump.

The media failed us in making Graham one of their media darlings and Democrats were seriously mistaken to think Graham could ever be trusted.

[shanny]

23. I think he's flipped because he now sees that

der fluegelheinie can be led into doing Everything the GOP Has Always Wanted.
