Trump’s long term bromance with Graham continues.
I will not excuse Trump’s love affair with Graham or other backstabbing neocons.
I would respectfully submit that Trump likely chooses these people in a pragmatic fashion that he can 1) control them because they owe him 2) they are better than the alternative and 3) they serve some specific purpose
Graham’s support of Trump is his admission that he cannot win without “MAGA” and he knows it. His friends and closest allies with the GOPe all despise Trump and I am certain he does as well - he just can’t admit it.
I have zero respect for Graham and bet Trump has very little for him either. Graham is the poster child for what we despise in the republican party and he will make sure he gets 3-4 MAGA types to “run” against him in the next primary to guarantee his nomination by the SC GOP.
That is the way it works...... all you have to be is the least worst option in the general election and make sure you split the opposition vote in the primary. The GOPe is SO GOOD at this and it works just about every time.
