other Republicans don'tIn an interview with "Axios on HBO" that aired Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham said former President Donald Trump had both a "dark side" and a "magic" that other Republicans didn't.
The South Carolina senator went from a critic to a close ally during Trump's four years in office but still doesn't always follow Trump the way some other loyalists do. While he opposed Trump's impeachment after the Capitol riot, Graham said Trump "needs to understand that his actions were the problem."
When Axios' Jonathan Swan asked Graham during the latest interview why he still supported Trump, the senator said he still believed Trump's movement was good for the country.
"Mitt Romney didn't do it, John McCain didn't do it - there's something about Trump," Graham said. "There's a dark side, and there's some magic there. What I'm trying to do is just harness the magic."

(22,130 posts)that you have now. If a job was made for hot air to be one of the qualifications for that job, you certainly qualify.
Maybe one day, we'll pick our representatives based upon other qualifications other than hot air exchanges and being influenced by lobbies and other dark money interests instead of voter demands and such. Look at what it took to pass the recent legislation by Mr. Biden, not a single republican voted for this bill, but they all certainly voted for the massive 2017 tax cut bill for their 1%er donors.

Or, to use a more modern theme youre really convinced Darth Vader is going to win, arent you? So you went willingly over to the Dark Side.
