RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is expected to pay Trump a visit at Mar-a-Lago early next week. My look at how GOP figures, particularly Lindsey Graham, are handling Trump and trying to shape the party going forward:

Not.An.Ounce.Of.Integrity.
Hours after a violent mob ransacked the Capitol last month in support of President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham vowed he had seen enough.
Count me out, Graham (R-S.C.) said in an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, adding that he was sad to see his journey with Trump end this way. In an interview two days later, Graham said hed never been so humiliated and embarrassed for the country and spoke in palpable frustration over how his longtime ally handled the riot.
Just weeks later, he is singing a different tune. Graham is set to visit the former presidents gilded Mar-a-Lago Club on Sunday to spend two days golfing and dining with Trump. He has spoken to the former president nearly daily since Jan. 6 more frequently than any of his Republican colleagues in the Senate and served as an informal adviser to Trumps defense team during his Senate impeachment trial this month.
Meanwhile, Graham said he has not spoken with President Biden, a longtime friend from the Senate, since his Jan. 20 inauguration.

I guess the GOP is continuing to kiss Trump's ring. Wonder when McConnell will be planning his apology/ring-kissing trip?

is no bipartisanship with racists
