Quoting for next page

This is in Boulder apparently (Dave Weigel described it as "ripped on whiskey a mile above sea level") Other quotes: " I think marijuana is, in many ways, a gateway drug. Count me in for medical marijuana. Never smoked pot, don't know what that makes me.." asked if he had been around it "Well yeah, this is America." How is Graham going to win this race? "It's a secret. It's a secret to us, too." " McCain wants to go into any country where a shot is fired." "Trump ought to call the Chinese to build our wall" He took up discussing today's The Onion article on Hillary, says "Hillary Clinton was pretty fun" Asked to explain how Hillary is fun, Graham says, "Not on national television." "I'd be a good king. I'd be benevolent with a random streak of cruelty to keep everybody on their toes" "we're at two percent. I think we're peaking too soon. We're going to have to cut back on our spending" Lindsey Graham aspires to play pool with George Washington. "the key to being a good pool player is to convince people you're not a good pool player" "I think Bernie can hold his liquor. Instead I'd get Schumer liqoured up, and get him to cut taxes." (Graham was 3+ shots in at this point) "Subtlety is a lost art" Graham says he still has never used email. Says the first person he would email is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to say "we're coming after you", advises "Don't do it. Don't take my word, take Hillary's." Boehner is "the happiest man in America" "In my presidency, no one gets left behind" he said as he went behind the bar and started pouring beers for people. Results?  Graham is definitely feeling the shots. Giddy, cracking jokes on stage. "I don't drink very well, as you can tell from the bar."

It must be great that at every party you ever went to in your life, you never had to learn how to pour a beer. I like his attitude adjustment wrt Trump.

He's clearly shooting for Head of ATF. First there was the literal firing range, then the drinking. If you next see him trying out cigars, he's got all aspects of the job covered (and no accident he mentioned marijuana, although of course this is in CO).

He has to be at the debate in Boulder anyways, so it was clearly just a stunt to give him something to talk about at it Though can you imagine if he skipped it to be doing his filibuster? Trump opened the last one telling him he shouldn't be there, he could open this one ripping from that

You can't solve apathy, and regardless we're pretty close to all time voting percentage highs, if you don't give earlier elections the right to count out of just "well off white men over 21", which is how the 19th century often got "90% turnout".

As a guy who has lived the majority of his life in South Carolina, I can honestly tell you Lindsey Graham is a sunovabitch. I can also tell you, he'd be a million times better than Carson or Trump.

Yeah, fair enough, but nowadays even white males have low turnout averages. Nowhere near 90%, not even close.

Graham's normal drink order is a Riesling (seriously) so doing shots at high altitude seems like a really bad idea for him. Hilarious, but the problem is that he'll be hungover and grumpy at tomorrow's debate and less entertaining.

I believe you'll find most people don't own all that much land these days. For example: the 1876 election set the record at 81.8% turnout. However only 8,418,659 people voted in a country that had at least 38,555,983 back in 1870 (incidentally many people think the 1870 census results inaccurately skewed a lot lower than they should have). That's 21.8%,probably less of the population that voted. Now, 2008 saw a 57% turnout, but that represented 43% of Americans.

Maybe if Graham was drunk his entire career as Senator he would've been better. At least more tolerable.

theblackw0lf posted:If Bernie endorses Hillary assuming she wins, I imagine a huge percentage of those will come back around. Pretty much. Bernie will get a good speaking place at the convention and will probably stump for Hillary on things like $15 min wage and other planks of the Democratic platform that he's been pushing. Did he formally join the party in order to participate in the Democratic party? Can't remember.
