Lindsey Graham became a household name by being that moderate Republican senator who went from NeverTrumper to Donald Trumpโ€™s cartoonish lackey almost overnight – leading many to think that he was being blackmailed. Itโ€™s more likely that he just saw full Republican control and got the signal that the former guy was onboard with most of the stuff he wanted to do and he saw his window to act and help push it all through – which didnโ€™t quite work. Thatโ€™s something that he inadvertently proved on Friday when he went to cry to Politico about President Bidenโ€™s latest win on infrastructure.

Graham called the latest bipartisan agreement, in which President Biden and fellow Democrats get just about everything they asked for, โ€œextortionโ€ and then went on to claim Republicans didnโ€™t know what they were signing – with the angry rebuke that they look like โ€œfucking idiotsโ€ now. It seems like just an amusing story on the surface – as just the latest tantrum that Graham has thrown over the past three years and just a staple of his character, but it also gives something else away thatโ€™s important – the GOP has no backup plan and they know that the average voter can see this too, unlike when they claimed to have a better alternative to Obamacare that they never showed anyone for almost a decade, when it was revealed as being much worse.

This is how we know weโ€™re winning – and it also shows how powerless the other side is, since Graham wasnโ€™t a whole lot different even when the GOP had the trifecta of power. Theyโ€™re the party of no, as theyโ€™ve always been, but now that image doesnโ€™t look so good. Letโ€™s grow our numbers in Congress in 2022 and keep them out of power.
