Not the ill and dying, those numbers aren't important, but Trump's ratings are the highest!!! Yeah man, MAGA!!!
It's all about the numbers

I think it will be interesting to see if people's views change on the importance of leadership/character, healthcare and social programs which provide a safety net.
Didn't know Lindsey Graham was a RINO. He's just one of many pubs telling trump the daily briefings are hurting more than helping.
At the time of day that the pandemic team has been on live tv....what's the competition for the viewing ratings ?….."Petticoat Junction" reruns ?? If it weren't for V.P. Pence, Dr. Birx, Dr. Fauci and all of the coronavirus response experts......who in the hell would tune in to watch OrangeGuy's live Cartoon Show ??
He’s been a RINO for a long time. Was known back in the W era as a big Chamber of Commerce/Open Borders/Cheap Labor guy.
Then why is Trump so tight with him? How do you explain that?
RINO is just a term you guys throw around at people that don't go along with everything Trump wants. I don't see any of you bitching about that RINO Graham when he's kissing trump's ass.
You have zero idea what you’re talking about. Not wasting my time here.
Senator Lindsey Graham is a RINO ??!!!
Isn't it a little difficult to be a RINO if you're assigned to the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Budget Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee......
and you're the CHAIRMAN of the Senate Judiciary Committee ??
Wouldn't that make Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a RINO , as well, since he assigned Graham to those appointments ??
Face it: Anyone who so much as BLINKS at the wrong time in the Republican Party, earns the tag of RINO, since Jan., 2017.
That term goes back to the W era. In fact, those Chamber/open borders guys contributed to Trump winning the nomination in 2016, with his America First shtick.
Run away little man. God forbid you answer a question about your post.
You might want to consider educating yourself, about RINO's/L. Graham.
Yep, run away New Pal. Please listen to losers who cry all day on message boards about a President. You'll learn a lot.
I'm beginning to think you don't understand what the acronym actually stands for.
I'm a RINO, and I'm barely that. I haven't officially changed my party affiliation, but I've left the party.
Graham is not a RINO.
Is Limbaugh the almighty arbiter of GOP purity?
Out of his ass?!? That's where most of Limbaugh's thoughts come from.
Should we ask Alex Jones next?
IMO Trump likes anyone who likes him. This includes Dems, Republicans and Communist leaders. During the campaign he and Graham weren’t friends. In fact, he publicly gave Graham’s cell number to the public. I think part of the problem with Graham was his strong friendship with Sen John MAC who Trump didn’t like. I also think Graham improved his standing with Trump and conservatives due to his performance during the Justice Kav hearings. Being a friend with Trump can be here today and gone tomorrow
Let's see what Lindsey has to say....He sounds like what many of us say today. This must be when Lindsey was a RINO deep state operative
This is when Trump lost me and I won't forgive the comments about John McCain. Lindsey agrees again that Trump is a POS
Nah, it's not a term thrown around. One has to earn the title to get it. Personally, I don't consider Lindsey a RINO.
At least you guys are all on the same page with the definition.
Refreshing to see how consistent you are about your inconsistency.

The Washington Compost:
Our own Dana Milbank, back in 2010, recapped a particularly harrowing week for the man often labeled a Republican In Name Only (RINO) by his detractors:
It was another week in the life of Lindsey Graham (R-No Man's Land).
On Monday, Sen. James Inhofe said his Republican colleague from South Carolina had "chosen to ignore" the American people and was making a deal with President Obama that would increase the "risk of terrorist activity."
On Tuesday, the conservative Web site Redstate.com branded Graham a "RINO"(Republican in Name Only), not to mention a "cretin" and "a poster child for everything that is anathema to conservative Republicans."
Wednesday, it was Glenn Beck's turn to pick on the senator. "You read his stuff, it's like reading Obama's campaign speech," the Fox News host said.
Finally, on Thursday, Rep. Pete Hoekstra (Mich.), ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee, accused Graham and Obama in a New York Post op-ed of a "deal with the devil" and said Graham "hasn't thought this through."
... But Graham has heard it all before. "What drives my train," he told me when I reached him late in the week, "is not their approval; it's getting it right."
Graham's
I don't either. I think the MAGA crowd, ironically, are RINOs because the current manifestation isn't how I have viewed the party in my 49 years on Earth.
The Tea Party was the start of this nonsense. All of what you just wrote is not at all a surprise. Sarah Palin's ascent is actually the start of the GOPs demise.
I think that it's in contact with where it was 30 to 35 years ago, actually. Maybe a bit right of there.
I never voted for a democrat until 2016 and did it holding my nose because the other person running isn’t fit to boil water.
I voted for Perot as well, simply because I thought he would at least tell us what the REAL problems were in DC. I will be an Independent for the rest of my days. Too many extremes being seen in both parties.
You’ve got some great archives, T. Now you ought to jump into the Now world. It’s called Politics buddy. But you knew that! Dint Ya?
