I thought it was interesting that Lindsey Graham threw him under the bus so quickly. He could still be his party's nominee.

" here's what Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told NBC’s Kasie Hunt. “It seems to me that this whole bridge thing reinforces a narrative that's troublesome about the guy, he's kind of a bully," Graham said. “If anybody in my office had done such a thing, they knew what their fate would be ‘cause I'm not that kind a guy. I just don't see how people that close to him could have felt comfortable enough to do this if they thought their boss wasn't of this mindset. Isn't that just common sense?"

Remember, many arch-conservatives think he's too liberal in the first place. Of course they'd want him under the bus. -- nm - Ender Jan 10, 13:07 7
- I get that, but a) I don't tend to think of Graham as that level of arch-conservative, and b) it seems early in the process to pile on. -- nm - pmb Jan 10, 13:12 6

    - Yup. -- nm - David Jan 10, 13:16
    - Again, it just seems early to be making that call. The landscape could look different when the time comes. And clearly, you don't want to be on - pmb Jan 10, 13:14 3

      - Maybe he plans to run. -- nm - ty97 Jan 10, 13:16
