CNN: 'Lindsey Graham Booed At Donald Trump Rally in His Home State'

Source:CNN- U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican, South Carolina) never the most popular person in his own room, let alone state.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was booed during his remarks at a Trump rally in Pickens, South Carolina." 

From CNN

Lindsey Graham reminds me of a the guy in high school (if your memory goes back that far) whose the wannabe hipster. Not quite part of the hipster clique in school, but just on the outside looking in hoping that one day he'll be part of that elite clique in school. Doesn't get invited to the parties, but perhaps crashes them and perhaps even allowed to stay. Lindsey Graham is the American political version of the high school wannabe. 

You could say that Lindsey is the perfect example of why Americans say they hate politics and politicians, (even though they keep electing and reelecting the same politicians over and over) because he seems to do whatever he thinks he needs to do at any given moment, to help or save himself politically. 

When George W. Bush was President in the 2000s, Lindsey was the hardcore Neoconservative, who would could camp out for days like Millennials waiting for the opportunity to buy the latest smartphone, but Lindsey would be waiting for an opportunity to kiss President Bush on the face, because at that point, the President was very popular in the Republican Party. (But perhaps nowhere else) 

When the Neoconservatives go out-of-style in the Republican Party in the mid-2010s and the Christian Nationalists come in, all the sudden Lindsey is now a cultural warrior, who'll do everything that he can to preserve what they call traditional America, including getting line to kiss Donald Trump's (who goes against everything that Christian Nationalists claim to be in favor of, at least in his own personal life) face and act like they're now best friends. Even though when Lindsey was running for President in 2016, he said that The Donald would be bad for America as President.

My point is, South Carolina, which just happens to be Lindsey Graham's home state, a place where Lindsey can sound and act as down home and the biggest good ole boy in the history of the world, (or at least in South Carolina) a place that Lindsey has represented in Congress since 1995. sees right through him. They know he's not really one of the them, but the ultimate wannabe, outsider, looking in, hoping to be part of their clique, if he thinks that would help him politically. That's how you get booed at your own political rally, in your own state.
