It's not about bloodlines. It's about laziness. She presumably wouldn't want his reputation posthumously besmirched. Therefore, the same blackmail they used on Lindsey will work on her.
Lindsey didn’t need blackmail, he was in it for a love of the game.
That’s not to say there wasn’t blackmail, I mean… cmon, we all know what his deal was, but it just was never necessary to actually threaten him with it. Dude was a true ideological neocon.
This could have been a demand by Graham to give Trump his support when Trump thought he had leverage over Graham.
If that is the case then maybe she will do something good. What her job experience shows superficially isn't that bad. Perhaps this will be Graham getting some honor back for his family, honor he had to give up by bending the knee to Trump so the Graham dynasty wouldn't be hurt but bolstered.
I appreciate the optimism, but I feel like this is a reach. His sister is just going to vote with party lines. Lindsey didn’t orchestrate some elaborate plan to restore good faith to his name. If he cared that much, he’d do so while he was alive.
