Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham is one of the most polarizing figures in American politics, and I will not pretend otherwise, but the resume itself commands a certain respect. A lawyer, an Air Force officer decorated with a Bronze Star and a Meritorious Service Medal, and a senator who has held his South Carolina seat since 2003 — that is a career of unusual durability. What interests me is his survivor's instinct: he has repeatedly repositioned himself through shifting political eras and stayed near the center of power. Whether you read that as pragmatism or opportunism says as much about you as about him. Either way, he is never boring to watch.
