Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.

The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.

“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you're not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

    I maintain that based one his behavior since then that Lindsay Graham had to have done something like murdered someone(probably a child) in the middle of a sexual act or something like that, his 180 is too jarring for the dirt to not be the most atrocious

    He should have been voted out in a primary a while ago, this is all just to not show off how he's not actually a modern republican.

    South Carolina is an ES&S state. It is also a state where miraculously, every time Graham has a real challenger for his seat, like with Jaime Harrison in 2020 when there was a huge and overwhelming drive to get the vote out down there, at the very last second just enough votes come in to keep Graham in his seat.

    This is why Lindsey Graham believes in god. Not the ethereal Divine, and certainly not the orange chancre, but for all the times ES&S voting machines have miraculously delivered for him.

    His 180 is a simple case of tribalism. The good of the party outranks the good of the cause. Hell most Republicans talked shit about Trump before he was elected, including his own VP.

    Same reason some Republican group took down a bunch of rebukes of Ken Paxton immediately after he beat Cornyn.

    I like how they include "relatively small" so mainstream Christianity wouldn't fit the definition.

    God is a notorious egomaniac who’s committed multiple genocides, glassed middle eastern cities, knocked up a teenager who was someone else’s fiancé, sent his goons to threaten her fiancé to accept his cucking, then dipped on child support and let his kid get torture-killed. Hate to say it, Lindsay is correct; Trump is a very God-like man.

    He's up for re-election in November. South Carolina needs to do the world a solid and send this asshole packing.

    ... Which is why he's up for reelection in November.

    If he'd lost the primary, then he would not be in November's election.

    Yes, but the chances of a Democrat winning in South Carolina are not exactly huge. They basically have voted for the incumbent whenever it has been possible since the 1930s. South Carolina senators only change when someone dies or retires.

    Lindsay, you stupid whore, did you not see his post? He is literally Jesus Christ. That is who he is to you, anyway, and any other followers of his.

    (to everyone else, he is simply a doctor)

    If he not that far behind God, I'm not sure I like that God. That's not the God I was taught about.

    These dinosaur politicians see Trump as a benefit the same way CEOs see AI as a money machine. They don't care what the mechanisms are, or what has to be abandoned/contradicted to use it. They want "number go up."

    And that's why we need new folks in Washington (and fewer CEOs).

    Lindsay. Toadiest toady that ever toadied (in the last 10 minutes). He knows he’s only there for as long as he’s useful because he’s what they hate. He probably has so much dirt on everyone he’ll fall out of a window before he ever has a chance to leave.
