U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham hasn’t been successful in ending the federal government shutdown yet, so the South Carolina Republican has taken a new approach. He’s calling out those he believes are the biggest obstacles in preventing a bipartisan agreement on immigration that will put the government back to work.
Graham used Twitter Sunday to send a message about who he sees as the problem. It isn’t President Donald Trump, and it isn’t White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly. But it is somebody else in the White House that has Trump’s ear.

My Take - Graham is a disgrace! What I don't understand about his actions is he's up for re-election this year. Does he think this tact is going to get him re-elected?

When appeaser in chief, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain failed in all his efforts to stop Hitler by giving him Czechoslovakia a conservative backbencher, and friend of Chamberlain's, rose and quoted Oliver Cromwell from 300 years earlier saying to what's called in history the Rump Parliament.
"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"I think this applies to Lindsay Graham, and since I'm not a big believer in polls, I just wonder if South Carolingians agree.
