Graham didn't really say anything too awfully different than what a lot of people have been discussing, but he DID make it a point that he had made recommendations to President Trump and that the President chose his own way.
Based on that, Linda is distancing himself from a shit storm, in my opinion.
Graham is fond of the Clinton model, in particular where Clinton had a war room working hand in hand with the press to provide a public defense every day.
In his presser today, Graham said that Clinton did well to continue "presidenting" while under impeachment trial. Trump is already doing this.
Graham knows damn well that Trump can;t enlist the press for support they way the press supported Clinton. he said as much in the presser, that if the GOP was doing to a DEM president what Pelosi and Schiff are doing to Trump, the press would have conniption fits. By his own observation, Graham would be giving bad advice if he suggested that Trump attempt to enlist the press or otherwise set up some sort of "messaging" operation.
The tweets are sufficient messaging. The muscle comes from elsewhere.
-- Linda is distancing himself from a shit storm, in my opinion. --
Linda is a big government apologist, never met a war he didn't like, and never met a problem that couldn't be solved with more laws. When the FISA abuse report comes pout, Linda will be leading the way with more laws.
Makes as much sense as "more laws prevent gun violence." Corrupt actors in the government remain protected by their corrupt puppets in Congress.
