The Trumpist voters want what they want.

They don't care it the wrong kind of Republicans lose seats to Democrats.

And that is the same attitude that enable the conservative movement of the sixties and seventies to drive moderates and liberals out of the GOP.

Graham rues Trump's support for Roy Moore

Sen. Lindsey Graham bemoaned President Donald Trump's support for Alabama Senate Republican candidate Roy Moore on Sunday, calling the move a lose-lose situation.

"If he wins, we get the baggage of him winning, and it becomes a story every day about whether or not you believe the women or Roy Moore, should he stay in the Senate, should he be expelled?" 

Graham said on CNN's "State of the Union." "If you lose, you give the Senate seat to a Democrat at a time where we need all the votes we can get.

"The moral of the story is don't nominate someone like Roy Moore who can actually lose the seat any other Republican could win," the South Carolina Republican told anchor Dana Bash. 

"And what I would tell President Trump: if you think winning with Roy Moore is going to be easy for the Republican Party, you're mistaken."

Graham on passing tax reform: 'I think we'll get there'

I so hope he's wrong.
