This is both hilarious and horrifying.
How can a man so debase himself? Senator Graham is the worst sort of soulless, gutless Quisling and this video montage brings that home very powerfully. Watching how Graham behaves around Trump is excruciatingly embarrassing. It is beyond pathetic. He's in his 4th term as a Senator. What's wrong with South Carolina?
https://youtu.be/R_hnjZGqXUY?t=553Senator Lindsey Graham does not have a wife and has remained a lifelong bachelor, explaining that while marriage is a blessing, he feels there is nothing wrong with being single and that he has been focused on his career and caring for family, suggesting his sister could fill any traditional "first lady" role if needed.Graham may be a closeted gay, which is fine, but sad. If he is, he also knows coming out of the closet would be the end of his career as Senator in South Carolina.
BUT, watching him when he is around Trump...OMG...he is like an infatuated school girl around her first big crush.

Ges,
Like many of your Leftie Loony comrades here, the only way you seem to know how to try to make a point is by extreme exaggeration or hyperbole.
Now, it's not clear to me if this is just an affectation you guys have due to this being the internet, or that you think it actually improves your argument, or you are truly unaware that you are injecting your own psychological issues and insecurities into a political debate.
You could have simply said you believe Lindsey Graham is a Trump sycophant.
Sycophant--you can look up the definition.
Instead of making that plausibly correct argument, you go over the top and bring up "he might be gay" (totally irrelevant, implied homophobia on your part); then you call him a "school girl with a crush" (totally misogynistic--attributing weakness to the FEMALE, underage person. He's not female and he's an adult).
Over the top emotional tirades may make you feel better as a tension release, or may make you feel you are "one of us" in terms of being a card carrying Leftist, but it won't persuade anyone.

Over the top emotional tirades
My irony meter hasn’t worked right since you started frenetically posting here a few months ago.
But I swear the damned thing, broken as it already was, just lifted itself from the tabletop, grabbed its chest and theatrically fell dead, tumbling to the floor.

The funny thing is, I watched a Senate hearing with AG Gonzales, during the Bush junta. Gonzales was explaining why it was impossible to let the defense counsel at the "military tribunals" in Gitmo see the evidence against the defendant, which, of course, made it impossible to mount a defense. Graham is ex-Air Force JAG. He tore Gonzales apart in that hearing, because he knows perfectly well there are ways to show evidence in a trial, without revealing classified information. I had some respect for Graham, at that time.
He must have learned the kissy, kissy, sucky, sucky, drill is more effective, for advancing yourself.

Steve,
in trying to corral everything possible against the target of your argument (in this case Lindsey Graham) you over-complicate the argument and bring in irrelevancies.
Graham behaved a certain way 20 odd years ago during the Bush 43 administration. O.K.
That's not really relevant to your argument that he is a lickspittle Trump sycophant.
It's relevant to your cognitive dissonance, you thought he was a better man than he appears to you to be, with respect for Trump.
But stick with the immediate present day argument.
What exactly is Graham doing that irritates you with respect to Trump? He is a Trump sycophant according to you.
O.K. but that's too generic of an argument since it pretty much can be used by the Left as to ANYONE who agrees with TRUMP about ANYTHING.
That's the problem with you lefties being over the top and hyperbolic with respect to every politicians and every issue on which you disagree.
If everything Trump does is wrong and evil, fundamentally, then leftist lunatic lesbians will take that as an incitement to run over ICE agents with their SUVs.
If your argument is that you disagree with Graham about anything, that's fine, that's your right. What other than the fact that he is a Trump sycophant do you disagree with him about?
Stick to THAT issue, what's the issue? Today not when Bush was President.

My clearly stated point is he has decided that being a suck-up is more productive than rational thought and standing for justice.
