October 17, 2019--Lindsay In 2024

Trump's favorite golfing partner is the ever slippery Lindsay Graham. 

Just when it looked as if the senator from South Carolina was about to sign up for a death-do-us-part role as the president's chief apologist and poodle (he loves those midnight Air Force One flights to Mar-a-Lago) he seemed to discover a backbone and has been scathing in his criticism of Trump's impulsive decision to withdraw American troops from northern Syria, abandoning to torture and death our formerly staunch ally, the Kurds.

But then I remembered that Graham sought the Republican nomination for president in 2016. He never rose about one-percent land and was the butt of numerous Trump jokes--his favorite was referring to him as a "nut job" and "the dumbest person I know." He even outed him--not what you're thinking--when he gave out Graham's personal cell phone number.

I suspect Lindsay has been seething ever since, waiting for his moment to rise again, to get even. 

This might be that time.

Lindsay is not so dumb as to not sense when there is blood in the political water. With Trump and his administration approaching freewill, sensing Trump will not be around after next year, Lindsay is thinking 2024, when he, in his own mind, would be the frontrunner for the nomination. He would be only 69, young as things go these days. And then he would have his own Air Force One.
