It's a grift Graham flipped because Trump is insanely popular in the GOP and there aren't any consequences for being inconsistent
there was a two day gap between Graham being Trump and Russia's most vocal critic and golfing and slurping the president. There was no transitional behavior. No softening of stance and no publicly obvious event.
CREAMY BUT NOT BASELESS SPECULATION AHEAD:
my speculation based on how his Trump behavior literally flipped overnight — at the same time he began to alter and soften his Russian hawk stance — is that Russia saw him as a potential blocker in the senate and pointed to or gave Trump something extremely powerful - with evidence that shook Lindsey into instant submission.
his Russia hawk stance slowly evaporated too.
just to get it out there- Lindsey's voters know he's probably gay and they don't mind. now does this author have that kind of bombshell or just the far less nowHell, even if he's not- he knows everybody thinks he is. So it ain't that.
one more possibility is David Pecker's DeadDrop Safe. Everyone at the National Enquirer knew that's where untold bodies were buried - that's how Trump used Michael Cohen to get Falwell Jr to flip the evangelicals for Trump- which was bizarre at the time - actual evidence of a three way with his wife and some pool boy (literally) and that entire thing just went away magically afterCohen "fixed it" FOR FREE!!
that case mysterious died after Barr arrived but may still be happening quietly.
also if you want to spend ten minutes on Google, watch a skip lapse of Graham before and after his "evolution " on Trump. The guy looks fucking terrible and getting worse. His skin has become mottled, eyes bloodshot, and his jowls puffy and bloated. His language has gone from Cotillion Ball chaperone to ill tempered potty mouth who snaps obscenities when cornered- he's not imitating his new boss - it's only when he's trapped. His patience has plummeted.
to me it looks like stress or insomnia or alcohol or some combination of all three but it's glaring and distinct. Don't take my word forit there's almost daily footage showing the rapid decline.
could be aging- could be normal stress- but it reeks of pure terror.
Now, does this author have that kind of bombshell or just the far less devastating "scoop" that Lindsey Graham his Russia hawk stance slowly evaporated too. 64 year old unmarried confirmed bachelor Senator with a swishy demeanor is gay? If it's that he may as well call the book "Well Dur! My Sherlock Holmes Awakening "
