Well, a lot of us thought McCain was blackmailing Graham with something. The change of heart coincided with McCain’s death. Perhaps these have been Graham’s real views all along.
Blackmail may get somebody to vote your way, but it can't make anybody worship you.
Offhand, I'd say that the people who are thought most liable to blackmail, probably aren't being blackmailed.
Blackmail works best with people one would never suspect of doing anything wrong or suspicious or threatening to their reputation.
Graham said on Hannity last night that a coalition of Dems and Reps in the Senate could reach a deal if they get something in return. Hannity asked if that would include an amnesty. Graham said no, but there could be some “bridge work permits.” Graham did not say who those would be for. DACA recipients already have work permits. He could be talking about the 12 to 22 million illegal aliens already here.
This sounds like the amnesty that passed in 2013 in the Senate and the Kennedy-McCain proposal in 2007. Trump should not allow Graham to be the interlocutor on any deal involving immigration. Graham is a snake. He is still pushing the McCain agenda,whether it is immigration or our presence in Syria.
