https://www.rawstory.com/lindsey-graham-2654683205/In a biting column for CNN, political analyst Chris Cillizza used a deep dive by the New York Times on what makes Sen. Lindsey Graham tick to ridicule the South Carolina Republican's professed belief he can "fix" Donald Trump.
With friends of the Graham admitting they are still stunned the longtime legislator has so closely allied himself with the former president after tweeting in 2016, "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it," Graham painted himself as a missionary out to save Trump from himself.
As the Times reported, "He alone can fix the former president, he believes, and make him a unifying figure for Republicans to take back both houses of Congress next year and beyond. To that end, he says, he is determined to steer Mr. Trump away from a dangerous obsession with 2020," telling the Times, "What I say to him is, 'Do you want January the 6th to be your political obituary? Because if you don't get over it, it's going to be.'"
Cillizza's initial response with a terse "HA!" before he listed the problems with reining Trump who has shown no signs of being anything than what he has always been.
