.@POTUS: "From that pool hall where his parents raised him, to the halls of the United States Senate where he was respected and loved, this son of South Carolina became one of the most important men in the most important country on earth. In a city where politicians often become jaded and cynical, Lindsey Graham never lost the old-fashioned American idealism that brought him to the highest levels of government and life. He took his duty seriously, without taking himself too seriously. He was unwavering in his principles, but always willing to listen... he never quit. Above all, Lindsey Graham loved America, and he believed in the American people—if you shared that view, you had a friend in Lindsey. If you didn’t share it, there was no fiercer or more constant opponent. Our nation needs more men and women like that great person."
