Lindsey seems legitimately, and fabulously,  concerned about the country's well-being, but is a bit paranoid.

And yes, three topics within minutes, but I felt like having a bunch of discussions. I promise I'm not reverting back to 2015 Free Bird.

There is no such thing as "Well-Intentioned" Hawkishness.

Well if he wasn't "well-intentioned," than what would his motivation be?

Graham is a good man and cares about the country.

His ideas are so insane and unpopular, those are almost certainly the only imaginable reasons he holds them.

So yeah, he's likeable.

I think Lindsey Graham genuinely believes all the bad ideas he believes in. I have some level of respect for that. He's also fairly likable in some instances.

I doubt Ted Cruz does. He embraces his role as the evil villain.

I don't understand the question, of course he is well intentioned.  American Exceptionalism benefits the entire world.

I'm so tired of stupid people. Most of our political leaders viewpoints come from good intentions. Whether  you can understand that or not is irrelevant.

I think that most hawks do have good intentions, just not for the average American.

If killing browns in the name of the Apartheid state's security is a "good intention" then I guess the answer is yes???
