Why does Lindsey Graham get so much coverage?

[mahina]

Why is his voice so amplified? He’s just one of 50 Senators.

He’s not in leadership.

Why don’t we hear Mitch argue for his own positions constantly? He is intentionally keeping out of the spotlight.

Lindsey, as we say here, go home, cook rice.

1. Access. Because he's willing to comment, and appears reasonable.

McConnell doesn't give wide-ranging interviews. He's boring and repeats the same lines over and over deliberately: it's the Dems fault, they're Playing Politics.

3. You got it.

And Lindsey is always gaming the Media for his own usefulness.

2. He always seems available, wants to talk, and fills the time slot on a variety of topics. n/t

4. Seems to have no life, always available on Sunday morning.

And he was McCain's protege for a time.

Because it's amusing to hear him trying to act like a "tough guy" but his delicate and genteel "Southern Gentleman" mannerisms and mild-mannered accent completely betray the truth.

He's a god damn clown. I've seen kids in amateur middle-school plays that can act better than he can. He's no Joe Pesci even though he tries to act like one.

As soon as he opens his mouth, the gig is up.

Trump (or Russia) owns his ass. They have something on him.
