That Look In Lindsey Graham’s Eyes
Remember back when Lindsey Graham said Trump was a kook and a racist and a bigot and that nominating Trump would lead to the end of the Republican Party. And that they’d deserve it? How about the Lindsey Graham who used to call John McCain his BFF? What happened to that guy? How did he…
