Lindsey Graham started the summer with more cash in the bank than any Republican senator other than Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But now hes begging for money.
Twice on Thursday, Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, went on Fox News Channel and implored viewers to donate to his campaign against Democrat Jaime Harrison in South Carolina, a closer-than-expected contest that Republicans need to win to protect their majority.
Im getting overwhelmed, Graham told conservative talk-show host Sean Hannity Thursday night. LindseyGraham.com. Help me. Theyre killing me, money-wise. Help me. You helped me last week help me again. LindseyGraham.com.
The story of how Graham became so desperate for cash illustrates the expensive, toss-up battle to control the Senate and the energy around President Donald Trumps pending Supreme Court nomination. Grassroots Democrats are hyper-activated to take on Republican leaders like Graham, who once burnished a moderate reputation but has aligned closely with Trump.

(10,094 posts)But I sure enjoy the rethugs stressing out. Anyway, Im donating as much as I can to the democratic candidates.
I used to think of myself as an independent, occasionally voting for a rethug I liked. That was in the past when there were a few decent rethugs. But from 2000 on Ive always voted straight democrat.

(25,908 posts)I find this pleading most unbecoming. Ill refrain from finishing my thoughts on the matter, but, suffice to say, its hardly flattering.
