He seemed to be more "honest" and "trustworthy" and "admirable" when he was friends with John McCain, a man who was admired and inspired others to do the right thing.

But he was no friend to McCain, just a hanger on. Once McCain died, Graham cracker hitched his wagon to the powers that be, which was frump and the rush ins.

It's a shame there aren't many if any decent repugs, they are in a free for all, allowing and encouraging bad and lawless behavior, whatever they can get away with. The liar in Chief has set the tone. Most have followed and joined right in. Shame on them all!
