When Lindsay Graham was running for President in 2016, he warned, “Trump is a wrecking ball for the future of the Republican Party.” You nailed it, Lindsay, although your total post-election turnaround on Trump revealed your spineless character. It’s sad that millions of Republican primary voters preferred a lying, racist, narcissistic, bullying, reality TV star to John Kasich, a decent honorable man who was then the governor of Ohio.
Let’s replace the wrecking ball metaphor and liken the Republican Party to the ill-fated Titanic.
