As much as I perceive Graham's speech as pretty much absolute BS, I give him credit for conveying his BS with cleverness, intensity and in a way that will rile up and motivate Trump's base of True Believers. Sadly the response from DIanne Feinstein was read from a script, brief and relatively tepid. UNless Democrats become more effective at communicating the truth, the intensity and the easily swallowed spectacular lies of the Trumpublicans are more likely to prevail. Let us watch Graham and work and understand what's left of our democracy is up against.
