Graham has long been rumored to be a closeted gay, which would not sit well with his voter base. But more likely, he has corrupt money in his background somewhere. It sure didn't take long for him to forget his friendship with McCain.

with South Carolina Republicans - he was at 51% with the rapid SC GOP. He desperately feared a primary from the right.

Since he became Trump's little buddy, though, he's surged back up with the in state GOP and is now at 76%, so much less likely to get a primary challenge from the right.

The best defense to blackmail is to run directly at it with the truth.

Bezos taught us that recently.

Graham could be a patriot and hero if he flipped. Another John Dean.

The supposition that lindsey needs some sort of external motivation to behave like a traitorous shitweasel presupposes that lindsey is not a traitorous shitweasel to begin with. That's an assumption I'm not willing to make.

Otherwise makes no sense unless Trump showed him something. I get that he is a weasel, but the timing is too suspect.

Just because the Democratic emails were the only ones "Wikileaked" doesn't mean they were the only ones obtained. It's a good bet they went after Republicans too, and handed the results to DT to help him jerk the lead on any wayward dogs in his own party.
