LOL harris is going to have the biggest inauguration crowd in history

Looking forward to the side-by-side comparison pics of Harris's inauguration crowd vs Trump's -- he's gonna have a full-weekend meltdown over that

Between this and the 2016 tweet from Lindsey Graham, I kinda like seeing these moments of prophetic lucidity

What's the 2016 tweet from Lindsay Graham?

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed. And we will deserve it.

He was talking about losing the election, and they didn't lose that election, so I'm not sure I can give credit to this as prophetic. Quite frankly it's a bit early to give Haley credit for hers either, so you're not really reassuring me here.

I believe people can be right for the wrong reasons. As I recall, political analysts were repeating that this would be true regardless of if he won

Irony can be Sophoclean. Someone can be more right than they meant to be.
