Clearly, Graham is frightened of the truth (when it gets in the way of his ambitions).
Expect more whining and sulking.

But I do like his presumption that Democrats will have more nominees. Yes, we will have lots of nominees. Good nominees.

should be common knowledge to Democratic politicians. If they are not there already, then perhaps they do need to step aside and allow those whose eyes are wide open to take a shot at leadership.

The Republicans have very little, to no morals left. They have already displayed a contempt for the rules, norms, and even the law. Graham wants people to think that Republicans are reacting to something new from Democrats. The reality is that Republicans cheat, and they will continue to cheat, and when caught they will protest and try to blame Democrats for catching them cheating.
