I rarely post in the pit, but this article from Yahoo news pissed me off and reminds me of how much I want to see Lindsey Graham lose next year. Graham has made himself into one of the most notorious boot lickers of all time.

Since this is the pit I see no need to give Republicans equal time, but I also don’t want to start yet another bash Trump thread. With that being said, which Republican would you most want to see lose next year?

The #1 choice has got to be Moscow Mitch.

All of the ones that vote for an acquittal.

Agree with the above.

Graham REALLY pisses me off. He hated Trump, and then ‘oops’, he got elected and that piece of shit is now his staunch supporter. The hypocrites hypocrite. The Republican ideal.

But Mitch needs to go. That may make the Senate take notice. Or at least some Republicans will scurry back under their rocks.

Besides the above mentioned, Jim Jordan and Thom Tillis. Mark Meadows would be nice too. AFAIK, though, Tillis is the only real possibility.

And Devin Nunes and Matt Gaetz. Grandstanding lick-spittle pricks.

Damnit, every one I’d have named has already been named.

No, wait. Susan Collins. It’d be nice to see her gone, too, the fucking concern troll.

Jim Risch, Idaho. Ranked as the safest R seat. So, if that guy loses, mathematically there was a bloodbath.

I came in to blast Comrade Moscow Mitch, and then realized I have completely overlooked goat felching Graham.

Honorable mentions are concern troll Susan Collins and Nunes.

Just to pile on, I wouldn’t mind Liz Cheney leading the second tier out the door.

It’s OK though, because [Trump was too incompetent](https://www.yahoo.com/news/graham-trump-ukraine-incoherent-quid-pro-quo-192210175.html)to form any kind of policy in Ukraine. So it’s all good.  
So yes. Graham should go. Moscow Mitch as well. I"d like to see them lose bigly.

Cruz isn’t up, is he? Since he was reelected last year. I live across the ocean but he’s been making my back teeth hurt since before Trump got on that downcalator (kind of a foreboding of his presidency, really).

Pretty much all the mooks named so far, plus Rand Paul, who’s been coming on strong in the “who’s the most gigantic prick” sweepstakes in recent days.
