The Senatrice just can't get ahead of Jaime Harrison in the polls

Not good for an incumbent of Miss Lindsey's seniority in one of the reddest of red states. She's been there too long.

The gay rumors worked.

by Anonymousreply 1September 16, 2020 9:07 PM

Eh, R1, everybody in South Carolina know Lindsey is gay, and have known for at least 15 years. The white Carolinians voted for him anyway because he did at least the bare minimum for the state.

But ever since he's maneuvered his entire body ALL the way up in Donald Trump's colon, he's done shit for South Carolina.

by Anonymousreply 2September 16, 2020 9:30 PM

NO, the yokels in South Carolina are stupid hypocrites with no gaydar.

Maybe a few of them are catching on in the last couple of years because of Graham's "to the extent that it matters, I'm not gay" baloney.

by Anonymousreply 3September 16, 2020 9:37 PM

A big part of the problem is Miss Lindsey's newfound willingness to accept Russian bribes and about-face on all his anti-Russian policies and warmongering for the past 20 years.

Treason ain't a good color for this Southern Belle.

Her hole has not been unseen.

Kompromat exists. Also, her obsession and infactuation for Trump are genuine. Trump knows it and gives her a little at golf outings, perhaps in WH at times, to keep her completely under his control.

This would be pretty epic if he is defeated. What will become of him? I don't think Fox News would have him. He may try to do the speaker circuit but I doubt he would have many interested.

In SC. LG is about $$$$$, craving attention, latching onto an even older man for.whenever satisfies his emotional and political security needs.

SC has horrible roads, deteriorating instrastructure, a very low ranking in public education, poor rural health care, a scandalous legislature, inadequately run state agencies, and zero concern about protecting wetlands, forests, rivers, streams, ocean shorelines, etc. They'll pave the whole state, but can't resurface the roads. LG has done nothing in addressing any of it on the federal level. LG, the last few years, has spent more time on Sean Hannity than in SC to help understand and fix any single problem. He'll probably get re-elected. He has a lot of special interests and big GOP donors behind him. And as another said, SC is a bright red state. It'll take Democrats to muster a 5%+ gain their way to see substantive political change.

We understand you need to lie to yourself to carry on, @ r17.

But Republicans are losing the Senate and they can’t build anything. They can’t hold government for more than 4 years or so because they’re just anti-government deadbeats whereas people have needs.

by Anonymousreply 19September 17, 2020 1:52 AM

Not that I want him back in the Senate, but the irony is that a newly re-elected Graham, not having to worry about being primaried for another 6 years, might not be such a bad match for his good friend Biden in the White House.

Southerners aren't stupid, they can tell when someone is gay just as well as anyone else. They don't care, SO LONG AS the gay person in question stays quiet about it and never ever mentions it publicly. All they care about is appearances.

What did I lie about, R19? You're so sure they're gonna lose? Talk about lying to yourself. My point was, they don't care "how it looks" if they win by only 3 votes-they'll act like it was a mandate straight from God.

by Anonymousreply 26September 17, 2020 3:18 AM

Bullshit, r22.

Graham was first elected when nobody was out and nobody was allowed to be gay.

Those homophobic rednecks in SC had no idea. Now that blue-staters and national comedians are telling them he’s gay, some of them are holding it against him.

Oh please, they've always known perfectly well that he's gay. Do you honestly think they didn't know what gay people were until 20 years ago? You don't know how they operate in the South. Traditional Southerners are two-faced - they have a public life and a private life. So long as you act like the strictest Christian in public and never mention distasteful subjects like Homosexuality, you're accepted, and you can do whatever you want in private. That's why they all seem like such hypocrites when the truth comes out. (I can bet you that half of Lynchburg knew exactly what Jerry Falwell Jr was up to.)

Southern men all marry young, and if you don't, everyone else assumes you're gay (or worse) and there's intense pressure on you never to mention it or acknowledge it. But Southerners love to gossip. They all know he's gay.

r27, I beg to differ with you, I too lived in GA for about five years (Athens, natch). r22 knows of what he speaks.

Another example.....my MIL lives in McKinney, TX, she’s Evangelical, nice as pie all-American mom who is also a two-faced hypocrite sack of shit, of course. When I would visit she’d bring us to church. We attended a fancy dinner party held by an elderly gay couple who used to own a high-end catering business, it was one of the best menus I’ve ever had at a party, they lived in a fem mansion. This couple was part of her church!!!

I asked my MIL and others if people knew they were gay, and my MIL says, “well honey, we know that they are celibate, so it’s alright”. I shit you not. What’s funnier, her actually believing they’re celibate, or the fact that this gay couple is active in a fundie church??? It was the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen, but it underscores r22’s thesis.

I live in South carolina. Everybody knows that Lindsay is gay. Everybody.

by Anonymousreply 32September 17, 2020 4:12 AM

No, r29.

Southerners see gay men as abominations and the enemy of everything that's right and normal.

No way would they elect an openly, proudly gay man at the state-wide level, even if they knew he was closeted.

I know Southerners perfectly well. They're bigots and simpletons. They think military service automatically means a man can't be gay. They also fall for the old closeted trick of joining an anti-gay organization —‚ like the Republican Party — where closet cases successfully throw off the scent.

Because rednecks are ignorant, gullible and think it can't happen to anyone they know.

by Anonymousreply 33September 18, 2020 8:18 PM

Maybe NOW everybody knows Lindsey is gay and maybe that's why his poll numbers are tanking.

But that's because national comedians like Jon Stewart started calling his faggot ass out of the closet.

But not in the '90s. Even today, Lindsey dare not speaketh what "everybody knows" in South Carolina.

South Carolinians don't know shit and that's the political problem.

R22 has it right! In the south as long as you don’t rub their nose in it, they don’t care. It is indeed all about appearances.

I remember when I first moved into my neighborhood that one of my neighbors went out of their way to say “we are glad you are here.” They know.

If he were really introspective, he'd be honest with himself and admit that he could only have the utmost respect for anyone who won't support him, especially after this past week. How could they after what he has said and done? He has no self-respect and no decency. It goes well-beyond conservatism. How in the hell do you support a man who literally tells you to hold him at his word and immediately renders his word untrustworthy? Not that he hasn't been absolute shit for years and his words have always been meaningless, but to be so adamant and then pretend you didn't just own yourself...

Doesn't help that Sen. Graham is starting to look more like Lee Atwater than Paul Newman as he gets older. Jaime is a friendly, personable guy the could get along with and a more masculine, imposing figure for South Carolina.
