About an appearance by Sen. Lindsey Graham today from TPM.com:
Graham was on message throughout, telling the hosts that he was committed to sending American troops back to Iraq to destroy the Islamic State.
Co-host Steve Doocy had to cut in.
“It’s a tough message,” Doocy said. “A lot of people are just worn out by war.”
“Well, don’t vote for me,” Graham said.
Good advice! So don’t worry, Senator Graham. We definitely won’t vote for you.

At a time when Mike Huckabee finds himself in the midst of a media firestorm for telling a transgender joke, Lindsey’s gaffe just might escape widespread attention that it would have gotten in a slow news cycle.
When I tried to figure out what killed the Republican party’s ability to reach out to minorities it goes back to Barry Goldwater and his gang shutting out the civil rights moderates from the convention in San Francisco.
Likewise, the future of the Republican party today will turn on whether the Rand Paul (anti-colonial) voices get squashed, If the party marginalizes these folks, they are never going to get them back.
Kind of feeling the same way about our own homegrown War Hawk, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. She pretty enthusiastic about getting more Americans killed in far-away places.
