Redundancies are redundant.
my support will not be swayed from Brian Schweitzer.

Are you sure you're a Republican?

This is Atlas, don't question it. We have socialists for Christie and right wingers for Sanders. Tongue

Absolutely! (Though in reality Christie and Paul and Ryan are ahead of Schweitzer, I was just doing that for the sake of the joke)

Southern reactionaries have never appealed strongly outside the South. Northerners can vote for their own reactionaries (like Reagan and the elder Bush) and for Southern moderates (LBJ, Clinton, Gore; they voted for a Northern moderate over a Southern moderate in 1976). Southerners can vote for Northern reactionaries, of course.

Against Hillary Clinton:

 

Lindsey Graham keeps North Carolina in doubt, but basically he throws away states like Arizona, Indiana, and Missouri -- winning states outside the Mountain and Deep South that haven't voted for a Democrat since 1964.

Jeb Bush jumped in, then Romney talked about challenging him, and now Lindsey Graham is considering.

Yay... please, we'd like to see a Democratic landslide in 2016.

While he is not black, I imagine my fellow CainTrainers will join me in ironically supporting Lindsey Graham 2016?

Lindsey Graham is gay. Everyone knows it, except, apparently, the good people of South Carolina (or maybe they do and they don't care, like the rest of us). Not that I have anything against him being gay or anyone being gay. I just think it's hilarious he's South Carolina's U.S. Senator and that both U.S. Senators from South Carolina, are in fact, bachelors.

I mean, as a gay person, I care a lot that LG is a closet case. He supports policies that hurt his own people year after year after year. Not that it matters. The media never calls out hypocritical politicians. Hell, he and Charlie Crist could move into a duplex together in Ft. Lauderdale and the press would call them "best buddies."

But, what would sink a Graham candidacy--in the general, at least--is definitely this: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/sen-lindsey-graham-white-men-joke-112338.html

I'm surprised nobody else brought it up.

My first instinct was to dismiss him entirely, but South Carolina is one of the early primary states, so he might be able to pull something off if the field is still unstable after Iowa and New Hampshire.

In 1992, everyone just ignored Iowa because of Harkin.

What's so funny? The parties have practically inverted from what they were in the 1950s with the GOP strong in the South and weak in the North in the 2008 and 2012 elections in contrast to what they were in the 1950s. In the 1950s Stevenson won only in the Deep and Mountain South... and twice lost Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Rhode Island. Since 1956 no Republican has won both Massachusetts and Minnesota at the same time (they were the 49th and 50th best states for Reagan in 1984 and the 50th and 49th best states for Nixon in 1972) . I have had the Eisenhower-Obama overlay map at times, and I might dredge it up again. 

Kansas showed itself very shaky for Republicans for a wave year. I wonder whether a pattern is developing.

That map would be Hillary's floor - in the WORST case. But yeah, a gay, moderate man from the South will surely motivate the racist GOP base in the South and the West. Nominate him, and Hillary gets her 50 states!

That's not a surprise at all. Nor, in hindsight, with former U.S. Senator Larry Craig and his home state. Their party affiliation is the capper.

Doing a little googling on the subject, I find that Graham's gay rumors are based solely on the fact that he never married, and he has denied it.  Unless some more conclusive evidence comes to light, I'm inclined to believe him.
Don't forget a bunch of "lol look at this guy who is not a super-manly man, obvious f****t amirite" sh**t that wouldn't look out of place in any idiot frat boy gathering.

Lindsay Graham gay rumors are the worst.
