Every word of Senator Graham’s speech was correct, heart-felt and sincere. He realized just how demonic the Left is and sounded like a FReeper.
As to your theory Madison became tied at the hip to Jefferson after TJ’s return from France and didn’t suffer much.
Leaders draw men to themselves, that is why they are leaders.
That doesn't mean that I don't have questions about the soundness of mind of a man like Graham who spent years hanging on John McCain's every word (including blind hatred for Trump and Trump's supporters) only to turn on a dime to hang on Trump's every word instead. Graham is by nature spineless and effeminate, and can only work up courage or ideals vicariously by attaching himself to a suitably masculine figure. He may be useful (for now) but he still makes my skin crawl.
