    A new Statesman has risen from the swamp

    South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham showed what a real Statesman is today he stood up before this country and he stated his beliefs and he stated it in a raw emotional form you don't have to agree with him you don't even have to think that he did the right thing but you can't disagree that the man brought it and he brought it big time

    That may well have been his grandest moment, but he used it with great effect. Definitely needed to be said.

    I think it was needed and well said.

    I applaud him for his dressing down of the Senate, I thought he did an excellent job and everything he said was long overdue. As much as I have disagreed with him in the past, my hat is off to him today.

    Every camera in the country was there and and turned on. There was no chance in hell Lindsey Graham would not be turned on in front of them too. I’m shocked Chuck Schumer did not find a way there too.

    I found it interesting that Grassley wouldn't use rule 19 to stop the attack upon a fellow senator. But of course that's only been used in modern times against a woman to protect the good name of a man. Graham looked oddly frightened when addressing the press. I was embarrassed for him and I think Trump might actually be blackmailing him.

    I had not seen it or heard about it, upon reading this thread I went and found it. Lindsey Graham is now one incumbent that will get my vote from here on out. Outstanding!!!
