Lindsey Graham Is Pleading for Cash Like a Televangelist Peddling Miracle Spring Water
For almost four years now, the South Carolina senator been the most singularly egregious toady in a party loud with their croaking.

This is getting embarrassing,
Lindsey Graham has been in Congress since 1995. He has been in the United States Senate since 2003. He is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He is a Republican in South by-God Carolina, And now, facing actual opposition for the first time since forever, he's taken to doing the poor mouth. From The Hill:
Give the man credit. He at least has a pretty good grasp on the reality of his circumstances.
He is being out-raised and out-hustled by Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison, and that is largely because the country has grown sick and tired of Graham's act. He made his bones as one of the leaders of the Great Penis Hunt of 1998. Once that ridiculous exercise went down the memory hole, he rebuilt his reputation as a straight-shootin' foreign policy savant in train to the late John McCain. That worked so well that Graham fancied himself presidential timber and jumped into the field for 2016. He never even made it to the starting gate in Iowa, but he did memorably describe El Caudillo Del Mar-a-Lago as a "xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot," and refused to vote for him. As soon as the president* was inaugurated, however, Graham jumped aboard as though the Trump Train were the last train to glory.
For almost four years now, Graham has been the most singularly egregious toady in a party loud with their croaking. His ultimate expression of fealty was his breathtakingly hysterical tirade in support of the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. A guy who is willing to so debase himself in service to a "xenophobic, race-baiting bigot" is a guy who will stay bought. The idea that this will nauseate a large portion of the public at large should not be that much of a surprise. And now to see him pleading for cash as though he's Peter Popoff peddling the Miracle Spring Water on late-night TV is to watch a politician selling off the last shards of himself. At least the people who hate his guts managed in their own way to find them at all.

Or maybe trump has skimmed so much from them they are now broke!
I received a letter addressed to my late mother-in law, who was a republican, from our districts rep in the house. He also was begging for money, something he has never done before. Seems like trump is making millions by ripping off the RNC while people like Lindsey and others have to beg for it.
I like it! 
I am sure they could come to some arrangement.
(believe me, I self-censored THIS one)
