Why did you flip flop from a vocal Trump critic to a spineless Trump boot licker?

What are Trump and the Russians blackmailing you with?

When we had debates here for our County Executive Office the four candidates were separated by large plexiglass dividers. It really isn’t all that hard to accomplish, pretty much every retail outlet has managed to do so since this thing started.

Watch how Graham squirms as Harrison dresses him down with the numbnut's own words. Harrison easily won that debate.

Text of the exchange from Slate:
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/jaime-harrison-lindsey-graham-south-carolina-senate-debate.html
"When Harrison hammered Graham on his reversal over filling a Supreme Court in the final year of Trump’s term, Graham’s strategy required him to just take it.

“Senator, how good is your word when you made a promise to the American people—even more, you made a promise to the folks in South Carolina—that you wouldn’t be doing what you’re doing right now?” Harrison said. “And that’s the problem that I have, the greatest heresy that you could do as a public servant is to betray the trust of the people that you took an oath to serve.”

“Just be a man about it,” he said, “and stand up and say, ‘You know what? I changed my mind. I’m going to do something else.’ But don’t go back and blame it on somebody else for a flip-flop that you’re making yourself.”"

He was strong and confident. Lindsey was a whiny screeching fool.

Virtual only. I hate that she has to be in the same room with Pence.


She arrived in Utah yesterday.

If for no other reason that these people have proven themselves over and over that they're liars and would no doubt lie about being infected at the debates.

That said, I love the portable plexiglass shield!
