“I am absolutely certain that President Elect Trump has something in store for Senator Graham.”

I sure hope you’re right. It looks to me like Trump does not have an actual Majority in the Senate. There’s about 6 Dems that have been elected as Republicans. I am not sure how Trump will deal with them.

Remember how Trump got to where he is. He beat out 15 establishment types, Graham was one of them I think. Then he beat out the 99% guaranteed first woman president. He financed his own campaign. He doesn't have to pay anyone off and all his dirty laundry has been hung out to dry. They cannot dredge anything up from his past that hasn't already been aired.

Here is one way he can deal with recalcitrant senators.

Since Trump owes no one he will hire the best in the business at counseling him and congressional liason. The latter will act as the carrot. The former, like Gingrich, will know where the bodies are buried, where each senator derives his power and his campaign money. If the carrot doesn't work, Trump goes to the stick. When you separate the senator from his voter base and his contributors you cut him off. The same technique will be used to woo enough dem senators to side with Trump on certain issues.

If I can figure this out I'm sure a billionaire who doesn't smoke or drink or sleep and is a freaking genius can figure it out.
