Only second-hand from Durbin of Graham confronting Trump directly at the meeting. Nothing publicly, though, from any republican.

Lindsey Graham to turn it around. If he remains silent then he has definitely gone to the Dark Side. The rest of the GOPers on the list? They went to Hell long ago.

I would love for it to be the latter, but I fear it's far more likely to be the former.

I just don't get the 180 in Graham's behavior and attitude.

Blackmail or cooperating?

Just can't figure it out.

hear Graham's take on the meeting directly from him. She will have to wait a long time.

She and Ali (MSNBC) always hold their guests to the fire . Love it!

But didn't say if they were present in the room. I believe that is why Sen Dubin's confirmation was so important.
