Graham changed everything yesterday, and we did nothing in response!

We had it going our way and he changed it all. If we had a Graham style attack on Graham, the effects of Graham's rant could have been largely neutralized. But no......and those effects were strong. The result was that Graham's unanswered attack gave squishy Republicans and Democrats running in Trump states an excuse to give in!

We could have gone after him in so many ways. And look at the actions of McConnell over the last few years. He has kicked our butts! Why? We use the Marquess of Queensberry rules, while they bring knives, brass knuckles, guns.....you name it!
