Republican Buyer's Remorse

The first rat is off the Republican sinking ship. As the Libertarian Republic describes it:

[Senator Lindsey Graham] has gone from emphatically opposing Trump, to tacit indifference, to full support, and is now rescinding that support.
Graham told the New York Times:

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, another former primary rival of Mr. Trump’s, urged Republicans who have backed Mr. Trump to rescind their endorsements, citing the remarks about Judge Curiel and Mr. Trump’s expression of doubt on Sunday that a Muslim judge could remain neutral in the same lawsuit, given Mr. Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country. 
“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy,” Mr. Graham said. “If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” he added. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”
Hey Lindsey, here's a crazy idea: Do you think it's possible to love your country and hate BOTH Trump and Hillary? Of course not, because like most Republicans, you already have one foot in the Democratic Party anyway.

By the way, what happened to your endorsement of Trump? Or did you pull a Pelosi? You know, voting for the bill before you read it? Or maybe you pulled a Kerry: You voted for Trump before you voted against him?

This is why I don't take endorsements from politicians seriously. A cold breeze can change their direction.
